We never sell your data
No brokers, no “partners,” no quiet resale of browsing habits. That is not the business.
Axis
Open source. Privacy first.
Fast, lightweight, and quiet. Packed with real privacy controls. We never and will never sell your data to brokers, advertisers, or anyone else.
Features
Loaded with control
Not a thin shell with three toggles. Axis ships privacy, performance, and interface tools you can actually use.
-
A quieter browse
Sidebar first chrome, glass surfaces, and a calm layout so the page stays the focus, not the browser.
-
Languages your way
Set one language for the whole app, or choose a different language per profile.
-
Privacy protection
Blocks fingerprinting, trackers, and ads. On by default.
-
Zero telemetry
No usage analytics pipeline. No silent phone home. No attention metrics engine.
Only a few of what Axis ships. A lot more waits in the browser.
Privacy
Your data is not a product
Axis is built so privacy is the default. Not a marketing line you have to dig for in a 40 page policy.
No tracking playbook
We are not building an ad profile on you. Axis does not need your attention metrics to survive.
Tools that actually protect you
Privacy protection against fingerprinting, trackers, and ads, plus HTTPS only warnings and JS control. Switches you can use, not slogans.
Verify it yourself
Open source means you (or anyone) can inspect what ships. Trust through code, not vibes.
Why Axis
Built in public. Built for focus.
Most browsers are engagement machines. Axis is the opposite: open source, sidebar first, and quiet enough to disappear while you work.
Open source, full stop
Public repo, public issues, auditable binary. Fork it, fix it, or follow along.
Sidebar first by design
Tabs live on the side. The page keeps the width. The chrome stays out of your sightline.
We never sell your data
No brokers. No sponsored new tab. No feed instead of a homepage. Privacy is the product.
