Your browser matters#

Browsers ensure your access to information#

• Many people only use "apps" instead of using a standalone browser on mobile devices, but apps still use browser components to some extent and can benefit from the speed and security of a better default browser.
• You only get the real, complete Internet experience on a browser.
• Browsers are increasingly assertive about how you access the internet:
  • The extension system is increasingly being weakened and controlled.
  • Some sites are marked as "unsafe" for political and commercial interest reasons.

Browsers are the main way your information is collected#

• There are three ways your information is collected:

  1. By websites:
     • Highly specific, but for a short period only.
     • Examples of specific information: what content you see and create, what referred you to it, what actions you took.
  2. By phone and apps:
     • Generic information, constantly.
     • Examples of generic information: where you are located, what device you are using.
  3. By browsers:
     • Highly specific, constantly.

• Many people don't think about the browser when they think about privacy, but the browser is a unique app that collects highly personal information about you all the time.

  • That's why there are so many browsers out there, many with billions of dollars in funding and provided for "free".

• You can be tracked by:

  • The way you click.
  • The way you scroll.
  • The way you type.

You can benefit from a better browser without much effort#

• It's hard to mitigate the privacy risks posed by websites and devices, but you can do something about the browser!

• Usually, you need to give up convenience for privacy, but HuBrowser offers reasonable protection of privacy with more convenience!

• Making a browser is thousands of times more complicated than making an ordinary app:

  • A browser needs millions of lines of code.
  • An app needs thousands of lines of code.

Browser vs. VPN#

• A VPN is a good way to protect your privacy, but it's not enough:
  • A VPN only masks your IP address.
  • AI can match "anonymous user behavior" with known user behavior using information about how you move and scroll the mouse.
