No padding. Everything here ships in 1.0.0.

01 / address bar

Bang shortcuts

Prefix a query with a bang, land on the source. Sixteen built in. Adding your own takes a key and a URL with %s in it.

Encrypted vault

Standard primitives, not a homemade scheme. scrypt is memory-hard, so a stolen file is expensive to attack offline. GCM authenticates as well as encrypts, so tampering fails loudly.

  • Key stays in the main process, never crosses IPC
  • Auto-lock from one minute to never
  • Clipboard clears itself after twenty seconds
  • Generator uses rejection sampling, live entropy
  • Plaintext export — a vault you can't leave is a trap

What it doesn't protect against →

vault.json
{
  "kdf": {
    "name": "scrypt",
    "N": 32768, "r": 8, "p": 1,
    "salt": "..."
  },
  "iv":   "..."  // fresh every write
  "tag":  "..."  // GCM auth tag
  "data": "..."  // ciphertext

Security levels

Three steps, modelled on Tor Browser. Higher levels break more sites. That's the trade, not a bug.

Notifications, MIDI, HID, serial and USB are refused at every level.

Content blocking

84 host rules matched by domain suffix, so doubleclick.net covers ad.doubleclick.net. Dropped before a connection opens.

  • Your own rules, one host per line
  • Session counters
  • Top-level navigation never blocked — that makes dead tabs
  • Applies in private windows too

Do Not Track

On by default. Most sites ignore it. Costs nothing.

User agent

Presets including curl, plus free text.

Clear data

Cookies, storage, cache. One action.

History

Clear by hour, day, week, or all.

The basics

A browser missing these is a demo, not a tool.

  • Tabs, bookmarks bar, downloads with pause and resume, history
  • Find in page, zoom, page source, contextual menus
  • Private windows · docked DevTools
  • Bookmark import and export, JSON or CSV
