Overview

Install the browser on desktop or mobile and browse with a built-in ad blocker, Incognito mode and Browser Guardian, which blocks extensions that try to change default settings. Use the sidebar for split-screen multitasking, translation, notes, PDF annotation, messaging, package tracking and an AI Assistant, and add Chrome Web Store extensions as in Chrome. Memory Saver and Energy Saver settings on Windows and macOS reduce the resources used by inactive tabs. Search uses Yahoo by default and can be changed in settings. Feature availability varies by device.
