OMEGA Browser
OMEGA is an ultra-lightweight native macOS web browser engineered to provide maximum privacy, minimal footprint, and fast performance by leveraging the WebKit engine already built into Apple devices rather than bundling a heavy browser engine of its own. At around 3.6 MB on disk and launching in under a second, it prioritizes privacy by blocking third-party trackers, fingerprinting scripts, and ad-tech endpoints at the network level so browsing behavior isn’t profiled or shared with data brokers, and it includes aggressive features such as YouTube ad neutralization, Fortress Mode for strict security and HTTPS upgrades, and anti-fingerprinting techniques that inject slight noise to make persistent identification harder. OMEGA’s Amnesia Mode lets you browse in RAM so session data disappears when you quit, and the Nuke Button lets you wipe cookies, cache, history, and site data across selectable time ranges.

UR Browser
Websites load faster without the ads, trackers and cookies that can weigh pages down. Protect your privacy with a powerful suite of tools that give you control over who sees your data online. Browse safer with alerts for dangerous websites, automatic HTTPS redirect and a built-in virus scanner. Depending on the website you are on, you may need a higher or lower level of privacy. Discover the three levels of privacy found in the Privacy Suite, and the features found within each one. You can change your level of privacy and save your preferences for specific websites. This way, your website will always load in the privacy level you chose. By default, UR browser's medium and high profiles will automatically block annoying and disruptive ads like pop-ups, video ads, and banner ads. Occasionally, you may see some ads that aren’t disruptive. These ads help support and encourage content creators.
