🔒 HuBrowser: the Only 0-Tracking Browser#

Technical Proof#

Verifying our 0-tracking claim is simple: an app either transmits data or it doesn't. You can independently confirm this without tech knowledge and see how other browsers track you 😉.

These verification methods fall into two main categories:

1. Package Analysis#

Tool: Warden	Tool: AppManager
Demo: Edge Video	Demo: Opera Video

Screenshot showing HuBrowser is clean:

• For experts:
  • There's "tracing" feature exposed in Settings.
  • HuBrowser chose not to use the "Integrity API", obfuscation, encryption-shell and similar features. This ensures our app is fast and makes it easier for you to inspect, at the cost of weaker IP protection. Consider this our commitment to transparency.

2. Network Analysis#

• Monitor traffic on your device or network router.
• These tools show which app sends data, how much, when, and to which IP address.
• In corporate environments, your network administrator can assist. We gladly support institutional clients through their audit process.

Why Trust HuBrowser?#

• Google Play
  • Publishing on Google Play means Google screens apps for malicious or deceptive behavior. Our app page shows we are one of the few browsers committed to the Play Families Policy, prohibiting personal data collection and holding us legally accountable.
  • Google has insight into our app's internals and operates the Chrome browser itself.
• Transparent Team
  • We maintain active social profiles across multiple platforms, so you know exactly who we are and how to reach us.
  • Our founder is a Singapore programming champion and former Google engineer.
• Sustainable Business Model
  • Our paid model aligns our success directly with user satisfaction and privacy, unlike free browsers often funded by data collection. We focus on building the best product, not maximizing data extraction.
• Verify Our Claims
  • We encourage knowledgeable friends or experts to examine our app and confirm our zero-tracking commitment.

What about other browsers?#

• There are many good browsers and you are free to keep several on device. We just want to point out other browsers are not as "private" as they claim to be.

• Most other browsers constantly record your scrolls, clicks, and interactions.

• We have tested hundreds of browsers and regularly test new ones 😎.

• Most sell your data to advertisers. They promise "good handling" of the data, but their terms of service can change anytime.

• A few options claim to disconnect data collection (e.g., ungoogled-chromium, Waterfox, Cromite), but the underlying data recording still occurs within the browser engine itself.

  • Browser engines (like Chromium, Gecko) have built-in mechanisms that log your actions locally, often storing them in temporary files. Even if this data isn't always uploaded, the act of recording impacts performance and battery life.
  • Removing these deeply integrated recording mechanisms requires significant engineering effort across millions of lines of code. HuBrowser is the only browser that has undertaken this complex task to eliminate them completely, ensuring true privacy at the core.

A Note on Crash Reporting: Currently, HuBrowser does not collect crash reports. This means we don't even know if the app crashes for you 😊. While unconventional (standard practice is to log operations for debugging), it aligns with our zero-tracking policy and offers a slight performance boost. We may reintroduce opt-in crash reporting in the future with clear communication. If you experience a crash, please let us know!

Your privacy is our priority. Experience the truly private web with HuBrowser.
