What is Privoo?
Privoo is a custom, independent browser built on Electron, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom.
Privoo is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a suite of built-in power-user features. This is achieved through privacy-oriented settings, integrated blocker technology, and hardened defaults. Privoo also removes all telemetry, data collection, and annoyances out of the box.
Main Features
Ghostery Built-in
Ghostery's tracker intelligence ships with every install — active from first launch, no configuration needed.
EasyList Ad Blocking
EasyList and EasyPrivacy filter lists are pre-loaded, blocking ads and third-party scripts before they ever load.
Built-in Sidebar
A persistent sidebar gives instant access to bookmarks, history, notes, and tools without leaving your current page.
MP3 & Media Support
Native playback for MP3, FLAC, MP4 and more. No codec packs, no workarounds, no extensions required.
Geolocation Changer
Spoof your GPS coordinates per-tab. Tell any website you're anywhere in the world — no VPN needed.
Media Downloader
Download video and audio from supported sites directly within Privoo. No third-party tools needed.
Tab Groups
Organise tabs into named, color-coded groups. Collapse and restore entire workspaces with one click.
DNS over HTTPS
All DNS queries are encrypted by default via privacy-respecting resolvers. Your ISP sees nothing.
Private Search
Privacy-conscious search providers: DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, SearXNG and more.
No Telemetry
No experiments, adware, annoyances, or unnecessary distractions. Privoo never phones home.
Fingerprint Resistance
Canvas, WebGL, AudioContext and font fingerprinting are all blocked or randomised by default.
Import Data
Import data from your old browser — bookmarks, passwords, and more, right from the start.
