Features & Capabilities

SmartCookieWeb Privacy Browser is a free and open-source browser dedicated to protecting your online privacy. It blocks ads and trackers to safeguard your data and speed up browsing. Unlike typical browsers, it emphasizes privacy features including proxy support, HTTP blocking, and cookie blocking. Although cookie dialog blocking is in beta, it is not the main feature of the app.

SmartCookieWeb is completely ad-free and always will be, making it an ideal choice for users seeking a secure and private browsing experience. Its transparent open-source nature allows contributions and community-driven improvements. The browser requires standard permissions such as internet access and storage for downloads and backups, as well as optional access to location, camera, and microphone when prompted by websites.

User Reviews

SmartCookieWeb Privacy Browser is appreciated for its privacy features, ad and cookie blocking, speed, and user-friendly interface. However, multiple users report crashes on certain images or websites, problems managing tabs, and issues opening links correctly. Lack of autoplay video blocking and forced permissions are also common concerns. Despite these drawbacks, users value its security focus and responsiveness of the developer.

App crashes frequently, especially when viewing some images or certain websites.
Issues with tab management: closed tabs reload, can't remove closed tabs from tablist.

Excellent and user friendly browser app. However, there's a scope of improment. The Yandex search engine is only available in Russian language by default. It can be also made available in English language so that it becomes accessible for people who don't know Russian language.

I enjoy reading zerohedge website, but their new cookie consent monster have more than 100 companies to turn off and i just gave up. Looking for a cookie concent blocker i found this browser, and after turning on innsettings to block cookiehell and seeing it works im now very happy to give 5 star. This will be my primary reading news browser. Thank you to the devs :)
