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.

Open Source Transparency

Veil is an open-source project released under the MIT License. It does not phone home, it does not auto-update without consent, and it is strictly driven by the community. We recommend reviewing the source code on GitHub.

Support

Troubleshooting common installation issues.

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 popup, and then click Run anyway. You can verify the integrity by compiling it from GitHub.

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.
