Private Browsing

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.
