Product snapshot
Stealther is a free Mac web browser built around privacy and anonymity. It lets users surf the web without leaving obvious traces of their activity and aims to minimize data exposure while providing the core features expected from a modern browser.
Privacy and tracking safeguards
Stealther focuses on reducing online profiling and ad targeting. It includes built-in measures to limit trackers and block intrusive ads so browsing sessions are less likely to be linked across sites. The browser is designed to avoid retaining unnecessary history or local traces that could reveal your habits.
Usability and performance
Despite its privacy-first approach, Stealther remains lightweight and simple to set up. The interface is intentionally uncluttered to help users move quickly between sites, and it supports the essential web capabilities needed for everyday browsing without adding bloat.
