Built for transparent privacy

Tempest Browser blocks ads and trackers automatically, aiming to reduce behavioral profiling and data collection while you browse. This feature is always on, but you can adjust it for specific websites through customizable privacy settings. It shows you real-time updates on what is being blocked, offering clear insight. These tools do not require separate downloads, and all blocking rules function directly from installation.

A real-time panel shows what's blocked on each page. This includes trackers and cookies. This information is not saved. It is also not shared. It uses its private search engine. This engine does not use your data. You can also add other search engines. However, the default search engine cannot be fully turned off, but alternate search providers can be added through browser settings.

Its syncing tools let you transfer bookmarks, history, and preferences across your devices. This sync is encrypted for your privacy. Settings are adjusted in a standard menu, not a separate sync screen. You can get quick access to web tools through optional mobile widgets, which remain inactive until you turn them on. The browser has no add-on markets or extensive plugin support, keeping it focused and simple.
