Private Browsing
Macro makes privacy the default, not a mode you have to remember to enable.
Always Private
Traditional browsers have "private mode." Macro operates privately by default:
No browsing history tracking
No search query logging
No autofill data collection
No telemetry or usage analytics
You don't toggle privacy on and off. It's always on.
Privacy Profiles
Privacy isn't just about hiding from websites—it's about compartmentalizing your digital life.
How Profiles Work
Each Privacy Profile operates as a separate universe:
Isolated cookies - Sites can't track you across profiles
Separate wallets - Your degen wallet stays separate from work
Independent permissions - dApp access in one profile doesn't affect others
Distinct browsing history - Each profile maintains its own history (if you enable it)
Common Profile Setups
Work Profile - Professional accounts, business tools, client communications. Clean identity for work contexts.
Degen Profile - High-risk DeFi, new protocols, speculative trades. Isolated from everything else.
Anon Profile - Privacy-first browsing, sensitive research, whistleblowing. Maximum privacy posture.
Shopping Profile - E-commerce isolated from financial and crypto activities.
DeGoogled Core
Macro is built on Chromium, but all Google services are removed:
No Google Safe Browsing (replaced with privacy-respecting alternatives)
No Chrome Web Store telemetry
No Google account sync
No hidden Google API calls
Privacy from the foundation up.
Data Exhaust Protection
Every site you visit tries to track you. Macro stops it:
Tracker Blocking - Native protection against third-party trackers
Fingerprint Defense - Randomizes browser fingerprint to prevent tracking
Cookie Isolation - Per-profile cookie jars prevent cross-site correlation
Referrer Stripping - Sites don't see where you came from
DNS Privacy
DNS queries leak what sites you visit. Macro protects this:
DNS over HTTPS (DoH) enabled by default
Privacy-first DNS providers (Quad9, Cloudflare)
VPN-routed DNS when Mesh VPN is active
Your browsing stays private at every layer.
What Gets Stored Locally
Macro stores minimal data, and only locally:
Per-profile (if enabled by you):
Bookmarks
Saved passwords (encrypted)
Browsing history (within that profile only)
Never stored:
Cross-site tracking data
Telemetry
Usage analytics
Search queries sent to external servers
You control your data.
Private by default. Private by design.
