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. BUILT FOR YOUR DAILY WEB Tabbed browsing with a clean, fast interface. Sync bookmarks and tabs across devices linked to your Aloha account. Scan QR codes instantly. Explore Web3 domains and dApps with full native support. Everything works together, beautifully. ALOHA PREMIUM Upgrade for enhanced VPN country selection, device-wide VPN protection, VPN auto-start, Wi-Fi file sharing, ZIP compression support, and premium themes.

Fast Private Internet Browser is a private surfing internet browser that you can use for any online searches. It works just like a regular browser: use the top bar to search for anything you want! So, what makes it different? With this browser, using our Built-in AdBlocker, all tracking of external ads will automatically be blocked, including some annoying content you probably wouldn’t want to see! If you wish to add a bit more privacy to your searches, we added an “incognito button” to our main bar, where you can simply tap once to open an incognito tab, a history-free browser that registers nothing! Don’t worry about history search, password saving… anything! Merely tap the same button after you finish your search and all data will be cleaned. For more information about the data blocked by the Adblocker, all website pages include an icon where you can check approximately how many ads have been blocked and other features such as the time you saved by not viewing those ads, etc. Features of this app include: Built-in AdBlocker Bookmarks Incognito Mode Browsing with more speed Personalized bookmarks Browsing history Recent tabs And much more!
