... Product Hunt community We ve been getting great questions from early testers and people considering Oasis as their daily browser. One keeps coming up after every iteration, and it s exactly the right question to ask: You talk about history, bookmarks, and semantic search staying on-device while the assistant runs on cloud models. When onboarding says I can pull passwords over from my old browser where do those actually land? How are they encrypted? And is the vault fully ... ... walled off from anything that could train or power the assistant? @ferdi_sigona We want to answer that plainly, without hand-waving. If you re evaluating Oasis

... thing we care a lot about with Oasis is being explicit about what leaves the browser when you use the assistant. Not a vague "privacy-first" label, but the actual JSON. Insight for other users:  By default, Oasis

... Voice in an AI browser only helps if it fits how you already work: quick dictation into the composer, not always a full hands-free session. Insight for other users:  Oasis  composer microphone  is  push-to-talk  in the text box. Hold or click the mic, speak, then release. Your audio is sent for  transcription , and the text lands in the  composer field  so you can  edit before you send . This ... ... drop uploads. Watch for inline errors and retry.

... small thing that matters when you live in an AI sidebar all day: the assistant should feel like  your  workspace, not a generic gray panel tied only to macOS light or dark. Insight for other users:  Oasis includes  seven assistant chrome themes  (mix of light and dark). They style the  assistant UI only  (sidebar, header, chat chrome). They do  not  recolor the websites you browse. Your pick is saved and reapplied ... ... through Oasis

... every AI browser feature should require an account on day one. Oasis still needs a clear line between  guest  and  signed-in  so people know what to expect. Insight for other users: Guests  can try  limited assistant flows  (good for a quick taste before you commit). Signed-in  users get the full experience:  cloud routing ,  voice transcription ,  chat history in IndexedDB  keyed to your user ... ... kahana.io/docs/welcome-back-after-sign-out  |  https://kahana.io/docs/chat-hist...

... assistant panel should adapt to how you work, not force one layout for every task. Insight for other users:  Oasis lets you switch the assistant between a  docked sidebar  (attached to the window edge) and a  floating overlay  on top of the page. The product swaps layout  without unloading your session  when possible, so your chat and context stay in place. How to choose: Docked:  Best for long sessions.

... Tracking protection is one of the main reasons people pick a Firefox-based browser. Oasis ships  Enhanced Tracking Protection  on by default. Insight for other users:  ETP blocks known  trackers  that follow you across the web:  social buttons ,  cross-site scripts ,  fingerprinting ,  cryptomining , and many  third-party analytics . It is  not a full ad blocker . It targets  tracking-related  content while trying to keep core site features ... ... When trackers are stopped, you can see counts and details for the current page. If a site breaks:  Temporarily relax protection for that site or add an  exception . Start with Standard before jumping to Strict everywhere. Oasis

... Long chats break when the model forgets what you said ten turns ago. Oasis uses optional  structured session memory  (internal nickname  Railroad ) to help follow-ups stay coherent. Insight for other users:   Session memory  extracts  structured facts across turns  and  re-injects  them into later prompts so the assistant can remember details  within your session and plan limits . You do not edit memory by hand. It updates as you chat ... ... retained. Start a  New chat  when you want a  clean memory scope  (separate from chat history stored in IndexedDB).

... tools hide limits until you hit a wall. We tried to make Oasis usage visible up front. Insight for other users:  The  daily token usage bar  shows how much of your  plan allowance  you have used, compared to your  Kahana subscription limit . It is tied to  plan limits from subscription and usage services , not a raw model quota alone. That way you see  remaining headroom for your billing period , not a mystery ... ... kahana.io/docs/daily-token-usage-bar Related:  https://kahana.io/docs/subscript... |  https://kahana.io/docs/router-as...  |  https://kahana.io/docs/kahana-su...

... Agentic browsers are exciting until the assistant closes the wrong tabs. We built a hard stop for irreversible actions. Insight for other users:  When Oasis plans something  destructive  (for example closing many tabs or deleting data), a  confirmation modal  blocks the browser until you  approve or cancel . Nothing runs until you make an explicit choice. What usually does not trigger this:  Non-destructive reads like listing tabs, summarizing a page, or searching your ... ... only if the listed scope matches what you meant. If you are unsure, narrow the request in chat (for example: close only the tab titled ). This pairs with  plain-English browser control : you describe goals in natural language, Oasis

... Most AI browsers live or die in the composer: how fast you can ask the next question, and whether the product nudges you without getting in the way. Insight for other users:  In Oasis, the  composer  is the text box at the bottom of the assistant. You send  follow-up messages in the same thread  so context carries forward. When the thread is empty, you get a  typewriter-style rotating hint  with ... ... they feel like clutter after the first few messages?

... browser all day, you need chat history that is fast, private on device, and easy to pick up where you left off. Here is how Oasis handles that today. Insight for other users:  When you are  signed in , your assistant conversations are stored  locally in the browser  using  IndexedDB , keyed to your Kahana user on that profile. You can  list past threads ,  open  one to load messages back into the timeline, start ... ... IndexedDB is where  your thread list and messages live on this device  so you can browse and resume without treating the browser like a disposable tab. Doc:  https://kahana.io/docs/chat-hist...

... Hands-free voice breaks when the mic hears the assistant talking back. Oasis uses  echo guard  to reduce that. Insight for other users:   Echo guard  adds a short  quiet period before recording  so your microphone is less likely to pick up the assistant s own voice from your speakers. It matters most in the  voice orb  loop when replies can be  spoken  (text-to-speech), not only typed in chat ... ... automatic . There is no user slider in consumer builds.

... produce great work. But how exactly do they achieve this level of concentration? As we built BeforeSunset AI , we asked ourselves: What kind of feature could truly help people stay focused and maximize their productivity? That s how Oasis was born a dedicated workspace where you can generate AI-powered backgrounds, use a Pomodoro timer, take notes, manage to-dos, listen to focus-enhancing music, and more all in one place. I have to admit, throughout my founder journey ... ... Hunt community has played a huge role in shaping our product. The support, insights, and feedback from this platform have been invaluable, and I want to keep that connection alive. That s why I m thrilled to share that Oasis
