JavaScript off by default Enable scripts only when needed, per site and per session. Active Page Shield guards against script abuse, redirects, and form tampering. Sandboxed downloads Risky file types are blocked. Downloads are hashed, isolated, and opened through guarded previews or exports. Behavior-based tracker blocking Fingerprinting, cross-site storage abuse, and malicious domains are filtered before they reach your device. DNS-over-HTTPS + HTTPS-only Insecure protocols are blocked. Referrer and user-agent data are minimized automatically. Clean, neutral results No engine branding, no bias signals. Risky URLs are pre-cleaned before you ever open them. Zero telemetry No analytics SDKs. No cloud logging. No crash reports. Why Kixa is different Privacy isnβt a modeβitβs the default state. Protection runs quietly in the background, without clutter or fear-driven prompts. You stay in control, without exposing internals or trading safety for convenience.
