Scout Browser — Free download Battleship OS — $49 Bloom — $10

Scout is privacy-hardened from the first launch — no extensions to install, no settings to change, no guides to follow

Scout protects you from the browser itself spying on you. Every other browser ships with telemetry on, tracking enabled, and ads baked in. Scout ships with all of that killed. You don't have to do anything — it's already done.

What Scout doesn't do

Scout does not make you invisible on the internet. Your IP address is still visible to the websites you visit, and your internet provider can still see which sites you connect to. Hiding your IP address is the job of a VPN, not a browser. What Scout does is stop the browser itself from leaking your data — your browsing habits, your screen size, your installed fonts, your location — to advertisers and data brokers.

Other browsers spy on you by default and make you figure out how to turn it off. Scout turns it all off before you ever open it.
