Your privacy should be the default, not a feature. Aloha Browser gives you everything you need to browse privately, block ads and trackers, and download files — in one app, with nothing extra to install. Hundreds of millions of users trust Aloha because it does what other browsers won't: it puts your privacy first by default, not as an afterthought. BLOCK ADS AUTOMATICALLY Ads slow you down and track you across the web. Aloha removes them before they load — every page is faster, cleaner, and distraction-free with no ads. No setup required. BROWSE WITH A BUILT-IN FREE VPN Protect your connection on any network with Aloha's integrated VPN. Choose from 80+ server locations worldwide, secured with 256-bit AES encryption and DNS leak protection. VPN traffic is compressed and encrypted to reduce bandwidth usage. One tap to activate — no separate app, no data caps for everyday use. DOWNLOAD VIDEOS AND FILES Save videos, music, and documents directly from any web page. Aloha's built-in downloader handles the formats other browsers can't. Play media in the background, manage files with ease, and lock sensitive downloads with biometric protection. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Aloha doesn't log your activity — ever. There's nothing to share because there's nothing stored. Combined with the VPN, automatic ad blocking, and TrafficMask, you get full-stack privacy that goes far beyond what incognito mode offers. PRIVATE AI — NO SURVEILLANCE Use AI to summarize, translate, and answer questions without your prompts being logged, profiled, or used to train models. Private by default.
