Welcome to ControlWeb – Your Ultimate Secure AI-Powered Browser with Built-in VPN. When platforms slow down or go dark, Auto-VPN finds the fastest route. When privacy matters, Incognito hides your tracks. When you need a clean slate, shake to delete the session instantly. WHY CRTLWEB? • Auto-VPN: we continuously ping nearby exits and connect to the fastest, most reliable route for you — ideal for Wi-Fi, mobile data, and busy networks. Less friction, more access. • Control Data by Site: choose what each site leaves behind. Keep or erase history, cookies, cache, and files per site or per tab. Fine-grained privacy without breaking your flow. • Instant Incognito: one tap to enter true private browsing; optional auto-timer (e.g., 10 minutes) returns you to normal mode when you’re done. • Shake-to-Shred: a quick shake wipes the current session and returns to a neutral start screen — perfect for emergencies and shared devices. • Seamless Speed: smart routing and lightweight compression help pages load fast even during peak times. • Clean, mobile-first UI: smooth tabs, crisp typography, and an uncluttered start page you can tune to your routine. MADE FOR REAL LIFE - Daily routine — read news, bank, shop, stream, and message with a private browser + VPN that just works. Only what you mark “Keep” remains in history. - Spike moments — when services are throttled or limited, Auto-VPN adapts routes in the background so you stay online. FREE VS. PREMIUM Free: secure browsing with Auto-VPN plus reasonable data limits. Premium: removes limits for uninterrupted protection and longer sessions. PRIVACY & SECURITY • No activity logs for what you browse through our VPN. • Industry-standard encryption helps protect your traffic on hotspots and untrusted networks. • We respect your device permissions and never sell personal browsing data. USE CASES PEOPLE LOVE • Secure Wi-Fi on travel, campus, cafés, hotels, and airports. • Private reading and research in Incognito. • Quick access to region-specific pages and content. • Anonymous lookups for sensitive topics. • One-tap “reset” with Shake-to-Shred on shared phones or when you need a fast exit. WHY IT’S DIFFERENT Most VPN apps are standalone. CrtlWeb integrates a modern private browser and an Auto-VPN engine so you don’t bounce between apps or fiddle with country lists. Everything is one tap: secure access, safe browsing, private tabs, per-site rules, and a panic-proof exit. Own the open internet — fast, private, and entirely on your terms.
