What the App Does

Direct Links & Blocker

Links from emails or messengers open directly. An integrated blocker filters categories like search engines, social media, or shopping, and allows custom blocklists.

Text Wikipedia

A reduced Wikipedia integration for distraction-free lookup. Completely without images or tempting links.

Strict Mode & Protection

Strict Mode with a countdown timer protects you from changing settings in weak moments. WebRTC protection and Auto-Clear preserve your privacy.

Independent & Ad-Free

Dumb Browser does not finance itself by selling your data or displaying annoying ads. Instead, we rely entirely on the support of our users. By purchasing the full version (yearly subscription or one-time purchase after a 3-day trial), you help us keep this app completely free, independent, and sustained for the long term.
