No AI

VanBrowser has zero AI features: no chatbots, no summarizers, no “smart” assistant reading your pages. It’s a browser, and only that.

Privacy, control, zero AI

Built to protect you, not profile you.

No AI features, no telemetry, no data collection. VanBrowser blocks ads and trackers, isolates your identities, and hands you the controls.

Per-tab identity

Personas

Each Persona gets its own isolated cookie jar and a coherent spoofed device fingerprint: user-agent, GPU, timezone, languages, screen. Be a different machine in every tab.

Ads & trackers blocked

uBlock-parity blocking

EasyList and EasyPrivacy compiled to native content-blocking rules. Element zapper, element hider, tracking-parameter stripping, remote-font blocking, and opt-in list updates fetched straight from the publisher.

See what pages do

The status bar

A Netscape-style status bar with the link under your cursor, live request count, total bytes, load time, TLS state and a network-activity lamp. Nothing about a page stays hidden from you.

Inspect everything

Developer instruments

Page Info with the full TLS certificate chain and response headers, a live network log, a cross-site cookie relationship graph, an element inspector, and a curl-style raw-request tool.

Private by default

Hardened posture

Third-party cookies blocked, Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control, punycode for IDN, and deceptive-site warnings, all tunable per Persona.

Honest engineering

Built on WebKit

Sandboxed for the App Store. No Mozilla-style telemetry, no sponsored tiles, no fake toggles, and no AI. Read the privacy policy ↗

Across your devices

iCloud sync (Pro)

Bookmarks, Personas, preferences, browsing history, and the tabs open on your other devices sync across your Mac, iPhone, and iPad through your own private CloudKit database. Your data, never ours. Sync is off by default, and each part of it has its own switch.

Passwords & cards

Keychain autofill

Saves and fills logins and credit cards through the Apple Keychain: the same secure vault the rest of your device already trusts. With more than one account saved for a site, clicking the field offers the list so you pick which one to fill.

Everything else

The essentials

Private windows, session restore, downloads you can pause and resume, bookmark import/export, find-in-page, native printing, Share and Open File on the Mac, a website-data explorer, and themes, including a Terminal/Lynx skin.

You decide

Notifications on your terms

A site has to ask before it can notify you, and nothing is shown until you allow it. Every answer is remembered per site and listed in one place, so you can change your mind at any time. Downloads can tell you when they have finished, too.

Read any language

Translation on your device

Translate a page into your language with Apple’s on-device translation. The text never leaves your Mac, iPhone, or iPad, so no translation service ever sees what you are reading.

Your layout

Tabs your way

Put the tab bar at the top, bottom, left, or right, nest tabs as a tree in the sidebar, and group them by color. Drag to reorder, search every open tab, save a group for later, and your layout comes back after a relaunch.

Localization

Speaks your language.

VanBrowser is fully localized in ten languages, on Mac, iPhone, and iPad alike: the entire interface, right down to the developer instruments, plus the App Store listing. This page speaks them too. Pick yours below.

Why VanBrowser exists

A browser should work for you, not for advertisers, data brokers, or AI companies.

No AI reading your pages. No telemetry phoning home. No profile built and sold. VanBrowser blocks ads and trackers, keeps your data on your device, and gets out of your way. That’s the entire point.

A browser. That’s the point.

No AI, no data collection, ads and trackers blocked by default. Download VanBrowser and get back to just browsing.
