A browser, without the bullshit.

Coming soon

Chromium draws the page. We wrote the window.

yeil browser is built on Chromium’s engine, the part that draws pages, runs JavaScript and talks to the network. Everything around it, from the tabs to the address bar to settings, is ours. Chrome’s browser layer, where sign-in, sync, Safe Browsing and Google’s other background services live, is not built in. We reuse a few small parts of it, mostly for extensions and printing, and none of them call Google. So those services are gone by construction, not patched out one at a time. The Chrome Web Store stays off unless you turn it on.

Measured, not promised.

0 hosts contacted at idle, on a fresh profile, before setup.

A stock Chromium build contacted up to 10 in the same test, all of them Google.

0 AI APIs exposed to the pages you visit.

Stock Chromium exposes 8, among them:

LanguageModel, Summarizer, Translator, LanguageDetector

After setup, yeil contacts api.yeil.app only for the updates you leave on: blocking lists every eight hours and app updates once a day. Setup shows both already checked, and you can turn either off. Neither request carries an account, a cookie or an installation ID. Signing in adds yeil’s own account, sync and pass services.

Features

  1. 01

    Blocking belongs in the browser.

    Ads and trackers are blocked by the browser itself, using signed lists. The site panel counts what was blocked on this page, host by host. Counted, not estimated.

  2. 02

    An address bar that keeps quiet.

    Suggestions come only from your bookmarks, history and open tabs. Nothing you type leaves your computer until you press Return, and it tells you what Return will do first.

  3. 03

    Permissions, asked once.

    Camera, microphone and location ask once, in a dialog on the tab, with Allow and Block styled the same. Notification prompts are refused before they reach you.

  4. 04

    yeil pass, built in.

    Fill logins and verification codes from your yeil pass vault. Signing in is optional; everything else works without an account.

  5. 05

    Private windows, plainly.

    Site data lives in memory and is cleared when the last private window closes, and no history is kept. They also say plainly that websites and your network can still see what you do.

  6. 06

    Sync we can’t read.

    Bookmarks sync end to end encrypted, and our server holds no key. History, open tabs and cookies are not synced.

What it won’t claim.

  • It doesn’t hide your IP address.

    Sites see it as they would in any browser. That takes a VPN or Tor.

  • Widevine streaming is not available yet.

    Services that require Widevine are not supported. We’re working on it.

  • It doesn’t stop fingerprinting.

    It shares fewer details with sites: common CPU, memory and screen values, no high-entropy OS-version hints or GPU identifiers, a fixed set of installed fonts, and canvas and audio readouts that vary by site. That removes some signals, not all. Your window size, language and time zone still show, a determined site can see through the canvas changes, and it still tells sites it is yeil. A Strict setting hides more and can break some sites.

  • Encrypted cookies aren’t a lock on your computer.

    Anyone using your unlocked account can use them. Lock your screen when you step away, and turn on full-disk encryption, like FileVault or BitLocker, in case your computer is lost.

Coming soon.

yeil browser will be free, and you won’t need an account.

  • No ads.
  • No tracking.
  • No AI.
  • No bullshit.
