Browse the Internet while protecting your privacy with the help of this old-school looking, ligthweight Qt-5-based browser. #Privacy Browsing #Web Browser #Internet Browser #Browser #Privacy #Qt
Viper Browser is one of the many privacy-oriented web browsers out there. It's not the most modern, or the most feature-packed app of this sort out there, however, it does offer an interesting experience when compared to other more resource-hungry privacy browsers out there.
Viper Browser is all about two things: privacy protection and simplicity. Since it uses the QtWebEngine, it's also remarkably lightweight, especially when compared to most of today's Chromium-based browsers.
Most of the browser's privacy protection comes from the fact that it allows you to add various advertisement blocking elements. These include, EasyList, EasyPrivacy, blocking off cookies, as well as various uBlock filters.
As mentioned at the start of the review, this is not the most complex browser out there. You can manage cookies, work with multiple tabs, manage bookmarks, as well as add user scripts, new user agents, disable JavaScript, and even prevent images from loading up.
Another great option of Viper Browser is the fact that it allows you to remove the history, and all browsing traces when exiting the app.
The biggest potential letdown is Viper Browser's looks. There's really no getting around the fact that it looks like it was designed two decades ago.
One thing we've noticed during our testing is that the browser doesn't particularly like Google web services. This means that you might encounter some nasty issues while trying to log into your Google account.
Viper Browser is not the type of product that will make you ditch your day-to-day browser. However, despite its drawbacks, it is a good alternative as a second browser, especially if you value your privacy.
