Maiar Browser: fast, private, ad-free and secure
Privacy is a fundamental human right so we’ve put it at the core of Maiar. That’s why Maiar was built to protect your privacy and give you control over your information.

No ads. No trackers. No fingerprinting.
Maiar’s built-in ad blocker, Maiar Safeguard, gets rid of the annoying and malicious ads and also blocks trackers like analytic scripts, tracking pixels and other methods of data collection. Choose your settings on a per-site or browser-wide basis. See how many ads and trackers are being blocked by Maiar every day by accessing the New Tab page.

Like the ad blocker, the tracker blocker helps pages load faster, saves your mobile data and further protects you from malicious code. Beyond that, tracking protection simply guards your privacy because your personal data should not be given away or used without your consent.

When you’re online, the characteristics of your device can be used by advertisers to create a “fingerprint” to follow you without consent. Currently Maiar protects against fingerprinting by preventing third party sites from accessing functionality frequently used to fingerprint users. This includes highly identifying parts of the Canvas, Web Audio and WebGL APIs, among others. These default settings can be changed through Maiar’s Safeguard interface, where users can disable these protections if needed, or also extend them to the first party.

Privacy first. Privacy built-in.
Privacy and security aren’t just something you should hope for, they are something you should expect. That’s why features to help protect your privacy and keep your browser and devices secure are built into Maiar.

On the other hand, you shouldn’t have to be a security expert to feel safe on the web. Maiar was built to be secure by default, and easy to use by everyone. You can browse confidently with default settings that block phishing, malware, and malvertising. Also, extensions and plugins, which have proven to be a security risk, are disabled by default.

Your data is yours. Only yours.
We don’t track, collect, or share your private data. It’s none of our business. Our servers neither see nor store your browsing data – it stays private, on your devices, until you delete it.

Need even more? When you use Private Browsing, Maiar doesn’t remember your browsing data (like pages you visit, your search history, your AutoFill information, or cookies).

You can also use DuckDuckGo, a built-in search engine that doesn’t track you, to make your web searches private, too.

Sync your devices
Maiar Sync can be enabled to encrypt and synchronize your preferred settings and bookmarks. We do not hold any keys to decrypt your data, so your data remains private.

Built-in password manager
You can have Maiar remember your passwords for different sites.

Stop auto-play videos
Maiar prevents unexpected and unwanted videos with audio from automatically playing while you browse. Just click the play button if you want to view them.
