SPS Browser is free and open source. Ad and tracker blocking, a password manager with checkup, per-site permission switches, an AI hub and a handy video panel come with it — no extensions needed.
These are the tools people use most. Each one is part of the browser — nothing to find, install or update separately.
Click the 🎚️ button next to the address bar and switch each permission on or off for the site you are on. Nothing is allowed until you say so.
A built-in password manager offers to save logins, fills them in for you and can be locked with its own password.
Watching YouTube or listening to music in another tab? Open the panel from the toolbar and take control without hunting for the tab.
The built-in blocker works at the network level, so pages load cleaner and there is nothing extra to install. A live counter shows what was blocked.
Open ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Meta AI, Perplexity or Grok in their own tab straight from the toolbar. Optional local AI models can be downloaded when you want them.
Round tabs at the very top, a round address bar with real suggestions, and menus that slide down from the button and scroll when they are long.
Everything below ships with the browser.

Based on Chrome's default features. Extensions can add more to any browser. Chrome is a trademark of Google; SPS Browser is not affiliated with Google.
We would rather show you than ask you to take our word for it.
The code is public on GitHub. Anyone can read it, build it and report problems.
View the code →Camera, microphone, location, notifications and other permissions start as “ask”. Unknown permission types are denied.
Passwords are stored encrypted on your computer. On Windows the key is tied to your Windows account. There is no SPS cloud.
Every release lists SHA-256 checksums. Compare them with the file you downloaded — steps are in the download section below.
The browser has no sign-up and no usage tracking. It only talks to the sites you open and to the update server when it checks for updates.
A small launcher starts the browser in a protected way and offers a safe-mode restart if something goes wrong.
No software is perfectly secure. If you find a problem, please open an issue on GitHub.
The search engine SPS Browser starts with. You can switch to any other engine at any time.
Try SPS Search →One click takes you to the official release page on GitHub, where every download and its checksums are listed.

What your computer needs to run SPS Browser smoothly.
| System | You need | Download |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit. Windows 10 is the minimum. | Installer or portable .zip |
| macOS | macOS 12 or newer on a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) | .zip |
| Linux | A 64-bit desktop Linux such as Ubuntu 22.04 or newer (also an Arm64 build) | .tar.gz |
| Android | Android 7.0 or newer | .apk |
Memory figures mean RAM that is free, not the total installed. Close other big programs before using the AI models. The AI models are optional and are downloaded only when you ask for them; the browser itself does not need them. Windows is the most tested version; the other builds are provided as they are.
That is normal for new, independent software that does not (yet) have a paid publisher certificate. It does not mean the file is harmful.
Want to be sure you have the real file? Download only from the official release page above and compare checksums: open Command Prompt in the download folder and run certutil -hashfile <file name> SHA256, then compare it with the value in SHA256SUMS.txt on the release page.
Code signing: once approved, free code signing for the Windows files is provided by SignPath.io with a certificate from the SignPath Foundation. Until then the Windows files are not signed. See the Code signing policy.
Round tabs in the title bar, round address bar with real suggestions, a menu button that turns into the SPS logo, and menus that scroll.
The new 🎚️ site controls button switches every permission per site, on or off.
Drop-down “Save password?” card, password lock with a one-time code notification, forgot-password recovery and Password Checkup.
A roomy panel with compact buttons: play / pause, speed, volume, loop, picture-in-picture and full screen — all visible at once.
Full history on the GitHub releases page.
Yes. It is free to download and use, with no subscription and no ads inside the browser. The source code is open on GitHub.
No accounts and no usage analytics. The browser connects to the websites you open and, when you allow it, to the update server to look for new versions. Your passwords, history and bookmarks stay on your device. See the privacy policy in the GitHub repository for details.
That screen appears for software without a paid publisher certificate. Click “More info”, then “Run anyway”. To be extra careful, download only from the official release page and compare the SHA-256 checksum as shown in the download section.
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) is the main version, with an installer and a portable zip. There are also builds for macOS 12 or newer on Apple Silicon, 64-bit Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 or newer) and Android 7.0 or newer. For normal browsing about 2 GB of free RAM is enough. To run the built-in AI models well you need at least 12 GB of free RAM. Windows is the most tested version.
Only for the optional local AI models: at least 12 GB of free RAM is needed for them to run well. The AI hub, which opens ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and others in a tab, runs on the websites' own servers and needs no extra memory from you. Normal browsing needs about 2 GB of free RAM.
No. The Windows installer includes everything it needs.
Yes. You can install Chrome-style extensions, and they show in the toolbar with their own icon. Some extensions that rely on Google-only services may not work.
Bookmarks: use ⋮ → Import Bookmarks with an HTML or JSON export from Chrome, Edge or Firefox. Passwords: the Password Manager can import a CSV export.
In the Password Manager choose “Set password”. The browser shows a 6-digit code as a normal system notification; type it in, then choose your password. If you forget it, “Forgot password?” sends a new code and turns the lock off — your saved passwords are kept. Because the code appears on the same computer, lock your computer when you step away.
The browser can check for updates and verifies the download before installing. You can also download the newest release from the release page.
Open an issue on the GitHub repository. Please include your Windows version and what you were doing.
Free code signing for the Windows files of SPS Browser is provided by SignPath.io, with a certificate from the SignPath Foundation.
This applies once SignPath has accepted the project. Until then the Windows files are not yet signed; see the download section for how to check them with a SHA-256 checksum.
Only files built from the public source code by the public GitHub Actions workflow: the Windows installer and the program files inside it. Nothing from other projects is signed with this certificate.
GitHub Actions builds the release from a version tag and sends it to SignPath. An approver checks the request and approves each release by hand. The signed files are published on the GitHub Releases page with SHA-256 checksums.

SPS Browser has no accounts and no usage analytics, and the project runs no server that receives your data. The only network requests are the websites you open and the optional services listed in the privacy policy, which is also shown during installation.
Free, open source, and easy to remove if it is not for you.
