Libra Browser is the security-focused Windows browser that works for you, not advertisers. It blocks ads and trackers before they load, scrambles your fingerprint, keeps data on your PC, and locks Child Safety behind your Windows password. Free, just 3 MB.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm from Psylinks Security, and Libra Browser is our answer to a simple question: why does browsing the web feel like being watched?
WHAT IT IS Libra Browser is a free, security-focused browser for Windows. It is tiny (about 3 MB), opens in a blink, and needs no account, no sign-in and no sync. You install it, pick a search engine, and you are browsing in under a minute.
WHAT IT DOES The moment a page starts to load, Libra Browser stops the ad and tracker servers before they reach your PC. Pages come up cleaner, faster and lighter on data, with no gaps where ads used to be. Every site gets three levels, Off, Balanced or Max, so a bank or government site that needs everything still works while the rest of the web stays quiet. It also scrambles the small details sites use to recognise your device, differently for every site, and it keeps your history, passwords and bookmarks encrypted on your own PC. Big downloads run in several pieces at once and carry on where they stopped if the connection drops. Tabs you are not using go to sleep, so even an old laptop stays quick.
HOW IT IS BETTER Most free browsers are free because you are the product: sign in, sync, get profiled. Libra Browser has nothing to sign into, so there is nothing to sell. Most ad blockers are extensions you add, trust and tune; here the protection is built in and already on from the first minute. And for families, Child Safety mode blocks adult and unsafe sites and can only be switched off with your Windows password, PIN or fingerprint, so a curious kid cannot simply turn it off.
THE HONEST BIT Libra Browser runs on Microsoft's WebView2 engine, it is Windows only, and this beta is not code-signed yet, so Windows may warn you once (More info, then Run anyway). For the strongest Child Safety, give your child a standard Windows account. The source code is readable on GitHub.
Try it, break it, and tell me what to fix next. What would make you switch?
