Capsule Browser re-imagines how you browse the web by putting every website into its own sealed, isolated capsule. No cross-site tracking, no shared cookies, and complete freedom to manage multiple accounts on the same site simultaneously. ZERO CROSS-SITE TRACKING Standard web browsers share your cookies, browsing history, and device fingerprint across all open tabs, allowing advertisers and data brokers to follow you around the web. In Capsule Browser, each web app runs in its own private, isolated environment. What happens inside one capsule stays strictly inside that capsule. READER MODE Let you decide to open every external link on a website in reader mode for distraction-free reading. GROUPS FOR SAME PROFILE Create groups of capsules sharing local storage and cookies to stay connected between websites needing cookie sharing. MULTI-ACCOUNT & MULTI-IDENTITY Tired of logging out and in, or juggling private browsing windows? With Capsule Browser, you can create multiple distinct capsules for the same serviceβ€”keep your Personal and Work accounts (Google, GitHub, email, social media, shopping) open side-by-side with separate logins and sessions. BUILT-IN AD & TRACKER BLOCKING Enjoy a faster, cleaner web experience powered by integrated uBlock Origin Lite. Automatically block intrusive banners, tracking scripts, popups, and annoying cookie prompts right out of the box. PRIVATE ICLOUD SYNC Your saved web apps, icons, arrangements, and settings sync securely across all your Mac, iPhone, and iPad devices using your private iCloud storage. No third-party servers, no accounts to create, and zero telemetry. KEY FEATURES: β€’ App-Like Home Screen: Elegant grid of customizable web app tiles with automatic high-res icons and drag-and-drop reordering. β€’ Distraction-Free Reader Mode: Quickly open external articles in Safari’s clean Reader view. β€’ On-Device AI Summaries: Generate instant bullet-point summaries of web articles directly on your Apple device. β€’ True Background Inactivity: Web views completely shut down when you return home, saving battery and memory. β€’ Native Design: Fluid swipe-to-home gestures on iOS and a clean native toolbar on macOS. Take control of your web privacy with Capsule Browser.

About

Jazz Private Browser

Read full description

Jazz Browser is a web browser for iPhone and iPad, built on Apple's WebKit engine. It blocks trackers, keeps separate sets of logins in named containers, and has a VPN you can switch on from a tab inside the browser. It is completely free: no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no paid tier, no trial, no ads. BROWSING - Tabs, a tab grid, private tabs, pinned tabs and a list of recently closed tabs - Bookmarks, history, shortcuts on the start page, find on page - Reader mode for long articles - Page translation that runs on the device with Apple's built-in translator, so the page text never leaves your iPhone or iPad - Picture in picture, and audio that keeps playing in the background with lock screen controls - Downloads saved into the Files app, a choice of search engine including custom ones, light and dark themes CONTAINERS Named containers such as Work, Personal and Shopping each keep their own cookies and logins, so the same site can be two independent sessions at once. Unlike a private tab, a container remembers the sign-in. It is about separation, not forgetting. BLOCKING - Built-in content blocking rules, plus filter list subscriptions in Adblock Plus format (EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Peter Lowe's list) converted to WebKit content rules - Link cleaning strips tracking parameters such as utm_source and fbclid from the links you follow, so a link you forward no longer carries a marker pointing back to you - Page report: how many resources the page loaded, which third-party domains it contacted, which of those are known trackers, and whether the page and everything on it arrived over HTTPS - Leak protection: three WebKit subsystems (DNS prefetch, WebAuthn, WebTransport) can reach the network around the proxy and expose your real address. The browser can shut them down for one site or everywhere. PER-SITE SETTINGS JavaScript, images, autoplay, desktop layout and text zoom are kept per domain and survive a restart. LOCK AND CLEAN-UP - Lock the browser with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode; it locks as soon as you leave the app - Clear history, cookies and site data when you exit, with control over what gets cleared VPN The VPN is off until you tap connect. It is built on Apple's Network Extension framework, covers the whole device, and keeps working when the browser is closed. - Pick a server location - Split tunneling: decide what goes through the tunnel and what goes direct - Before the VPN can be turned on, a screen explains exactly what data is processed FREE Jazz Browser is free. There is nothing to buy inside it, no subscription, no paid tier, no trial, and no advertising. PRIVACY We keep no traffic logs. We do not record, analyse or store the contents of your connections, and we do not sell, share or disclose user data to third parties. A VPN changes the address a site sees; it does not make you anonymous to a site you have signed in to.
