Privacy
Brows is a local browser with no Z7 account and no Z7 telemetry. This page says exactly what leaves the machine and when.
What stays on your computer
- History, bookmarks, downloads and sessions
- Saved passwords, stored in the operating system's encrypted store
- Cookies, site permissions and site data
- Your settings, including the glass density and your workspaces
None of it is uploaded to Z7. There is no Z7 server holding your browsing data, because Brows does not have one.
What Brows sends, and only when you ask
- The update check. When you press Check for
updates, Brows fetches
https://brows.dev/latest.json. That request carries no identifier; it is the same file any visitor to this site would receive. The installer it names comes fromdownloads.brows.devand is checked against the SHA-256 in the feed before it runs. - Google services. If you open a Google page, Chromium's normal network behaviour applies. Brows does not add Google sign-in of its own, and it does not sync anything to a Google account.
Crash reports and metrics
Brows does not upload crash reports or usage metrics to Z7. Chromium's own reporting is not configured with Z7 endpoints.
Removing your data
Uninstalling Brows leaves your profile behind so a reinstall keeps your
bookmarks. To remove everything, delete the Brows folder under
%LOCALAPPDATA% after uninstalling.
