Our browsers

Project For whom
🛡️ Vaka The safe Swedish browser for families and everyone else. Brave's ad-blocking engine built in, open family features, an AI security assistant.
🦉 Prowl Vaka for security researchers and bug bounty hunters. Same engine, hacker tooling, dark by default.
🌑 Skugga Everything through Tor, fail-closed, WebRTC locked.
🫥 Forget Tor plus amnesia: the whole profile lives in RAM and is wiped on exit.

All four share one codebase and ship together. All of them are open source under the MPL-2.0.

Why we exist

Most people never install an ad blocker, never check a link before clicking it, and never find out that their password leaked. Our browsers are for them. Protection is on from the first launch, it cannot be switched off by a browser vendor's extension policy, and nothing you do is sent anywhere to make it work.

What is inside

  • adblock-rust, the same engine that powers Brave Shields, with Brave's default filter lists and uBlock Origin scriptlets.
  • A warning screen before dangerous pages render, backed by Säkerkoll's threat data.
  • Zero-knowledge password manager and card wallet, encrypted with the key in the OS keychain.
  • Vaka Family: child accounts that are open about what parents can see.
  • Krypto, an AI security assistant in the sidebar.
  • 54 languages. Swedish first.
