Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Ghostery Blocker

Network-level ad & tracker blocking. Stops scripts before they even load.

Tor Network

One-click SOCKS5 proxy through the Tor network. Real anonymity, not theater.

On-Device AI

WebGPU-accelerated LLM runs locally. Summarizes pages with zero cloud calls.

Anti-Fingerprint

Canvas noise injection and WebRTC leak protection. Be invisible.

Reader Mode

Distraction-free reading with beautiful typography. Focus on content.

Split View

Side-by-side tab multitasking. Research and browse simultaneously.

Private Search

DuckDuckGo integration with AI summaries. No tracking, no profiling.

Blazing Fast

Electron + Next.js + React 19. Hardware-accelerated rendering.

Your data stays yours.

Unlike Chrome, Edge, or Safari — Veil doesn't collect telemetry, sync your history to corporate servers, or sell your search queries to advertisers. Every AI inference runs on your GPU. Every search is private. Every session is ephemeral.

Troubleshooting

Windows SmartScreen Warning

Because Veil is an independent, open-source project, the `.exe` installer is not signed with an expensive EV certificate. Windows SmartScreen may flag it as an "Unrecognized App".

Solution: Click More info on the blue SmartScreen popup, and then click Run anyway. You can verify the integrity of the release by compiling it yourself from the GitHub repository.

Why is Tor disabled by default?

Tor significantly reduces browsing speeds due to onion routing across global nodes. We leave Tor disabled by default for general browsing, allowing you to manually toggle it ON when you need absolute anonymity.

How does Local AI work without a GPU?

Veil Browser leverages WebGPU. If a dedicated GPU is unavailable, Transformers.js will automatically fall back to WebAssembly (WASM) CPU execution. While slower, your data will still remain 100% local and secure.
