Vee Browser is a fast, private web browser built for people who want real control over their browsing. TAB ISOLATION Open a Private tab and it runs in its own separate storage - its own cookies, logins, and site data - so you can sign in to the same site with two different accounts at once, or browse without leaving a trace in your standard tabs. LOCATION CONTROL Choose the location websites see, from a map. Search or tap to place a pin, save your favorite locations, and decide when sites get your real location and when they don't. AI FACETS Add small, powerful enhancements to any website from the Facets marketplace - they install and update automatically, and run only on the sites they're built for. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT No tracking, no analytics SDKs, and your browsing history stays on your device. Send Do Not Track, and clear your browsing data anytime. A CLEAN, FAMILIAR EXPERIENCE A Safari-style interface with inline address editing, bookmarks, per-tab history, downloads, find-in-page, desktop-site mode, and true dark mode. Sign in to your favorite sites - including Google - bookmark what matters, and browse the way you want.
