Ads & trackers blocked
Every request is checked against filter lists, empty ad boxes are hidden, and trackers disguised as a site's own subdomain are caught.
Browse fast.
Leave no trail.
Zyphyx is a lightweight browser built on Chromium that blocks ads and trackers, keeps your connection encrypted and stays out of your way.
Private by default
The protections are on from the first page you open. No extensions, no account, no setup.
HTTPS-only
Addresses are upgraded to HTTPS. If a site can't do it, you're warned and choose whether to continue.
Built-in VPN
Send all of Zyphyx's traffic through an encrypted tunnel, without touching your other apps.
Encrypted DNS
DNS over HTTPS through Quad9, Cloudflare or Mullvad, with an optional strict mode.
Tracking links cleaned
utm_*, fbclid, gclid and friends are stripped, and redirect trackers on search and social sites are skipped.
Containers
Keep Personal, Work, Shopping and Banking in separate windows that can't see each other's cookies.
Tab sleeping
Background tabs are frozen and later discarded, so a hundred tabs don't cost you your memory.
Reader mode
F9 shows just the article: text, headings and pictures on a plain, readable page.
Themes
Follow Windows light and dark, or pick Nord, Dracula, Solarized or a theme of your own.

macOS and Linux
Zyphyx runs on macOS and Linux too. Until there are installers, run it from source with uv, which fetches Python and Qt for you:
uv run zyphyx
