Meet Udal
The browser that forgot how to spy.
A privacy-first web browser built for people — not data brokers. No AI. No tracking. No home to phone. And a world-first private, peer-to-peer Tunnel mode no website or server can sit in the middle of.
Launch day is close — and we're still building in enormous functionality. Udal keeps getting more powerful every week right up to the day it goes live.
A world first — built in under three months.
Interest in Udal has been extraordinary, and we couldn't be more excited about this launch. To date the build has taken more than 3,900 build cycles, each one representing an enormous body of code. A complete, ground-up browser like this would have taken a team of experts years to create only a short time ago. By harnessing the immense power of AI to write and design it, we have delivered a world-first product in less than three months — and we're being extremely careful to make sure there are no security gaps before we open the doors. Thank you for your patience; it matters, and it's worth getting right.
3,900+
Build cycles of deep engineering — and still growing every week.
No gaps
Security hardened and reviewed with extreme care.
Unstoppable
Absolute peer-to-peer if required — impossible to shut down.
The network gets stronger with every person who joins. Udal can run as a pure peer-to-peer platform with no company, website or server in the middle — which makes it impossible to stop. The more people who come aboard, the more resilient it becomes for everyone.
Our hope is to bring the Linux and Windows versions live very soon. We appreciate everyone's patience while we finish the final, careful stretch.
A truly private browser the world has never seen before.
Udal pairs everyday safe browsing with a private, encrypted, key-based network where you connect directly to the people you permit — peer-to-peer, with no website and no server in the middle. Nobody has put this in the hands of ordinary people before. We're about to.
Privacy isn't a setting. It's the architecture.
There's nothing to collect because there's nobody collecting. Everything runs locally on your machine.
No AI
Nothing you do is fed to any AI model. Ever.
No telemetry
Your activity is never measured, logged or reported.
No user counting
We don't even count how many people use Udal. On purpose.
No phoning home
There is literally no Udal server. No home to phone.
Udal is a public utility, not a data business. The only network traffic it makes is to the websites you choose to visit (plus an update check you can switch off).
Two modes. One browser.
Switch with a single dropdown. ClearNet for the open web; Tunnel for private, person-to-person connections.
ClearNet mode
The normal internet you use every day — search, email, video, everything — just with ads, trackers and fingerprinting blocked. Use this for daily browsing.
- Ad & tracker blocking by default
- Canvas / WebGL / audio anti-fingerprint
- HTTPS-only with encrypted DNS
- Standard, fast browsing
World firstTunnel mode
A private, encrypted, key-based network. Instead of public websites, you connect directly to people you've permitted — peer-to-peer, hidden from the normal internet.
- Everything in ClearNet, plus…
- Routes via Tor / Veilid (onion / garlic)
- Ephemeral, isolated sessions
- Identity-gated private apps
Stay in ClearNet for daily use; switch to Tunnel when you want a private channel with specific people. Your everyday browsing does not need Tunnel.
Not a Chrome skin. Not a Firefox fork.
Udal is its own browser, written from scratch in Rust. For drawing web pages it uses WebKit — a separate, independent engine — deliberately not Google's Chromium/Blink or Mozilla's Gecko.
- You're not feeding the Chrome monoculture that now decides how the web works.
- The interface, privacy shields and identity layer are all our own code — inherited from no one.
- A genuine third option, on an independent rendering engine.
Clear control over what each website sees.
Udal blocks web pages from grabbing your screen, and can hide its own window from other software on your computer — the layer that defeats tools like Microsoft Recall. Both are on by default.
Windows & macOS anti-screenshot support is on the way. On Linux it's a no-op by design — Recall doesn't exist there and Wayland already gates screen capture behind a permission prompt. We won't pretend otherwise.
Be there at the start.
Launch day is close — and we're still building in enormous functionality. Leave your email and we'll tell you the moment the people's browser goes live.
