Proton Browser
Proton Browser
I would Like to see a Browser like chrome, firefox, or Brave. But without the tracking and also it being based in the same location as protonmail would mean its secure and safe to use.
With companys like google buying up all the alternative browsers I think this a needed program/app. What good is the secure email when Chrome is snap shoting and keylogging your protonmail logins.

It's cool, but I would personally prefer that their engineering cycles focus on improving their current feature offerings. For example, Proton Calendar falls very short of any professional minimum requirements.

Absolutely!
A ProtonWebBrowser would be awesome to round out the Proton family of apps.
Let's do it Proton Team!(this is where I get out my pompoms😊)Happy New Year to you all🎆

I think the last thing we need is another browser - being spoken as a developer and lover of a web that is as open as possible.
Honestly, I think there need to be more browser engines out there. That being said, I don't think that Proton should be working on this, as it does not seem to directly further their cause.

i think they have to make a browser starting from 0, because chromium is not private or secure

If this project will not affect the progress of already-existing Proton apps, then it must be done. I will use Proton browser even if it lacks some features.
Despite Firefox and Brave are good for privacy, I don't use them because they get eventually slow and sometimes crashes.
I vote in favor of a reliable Proton Web Browser that has a clean interface and functions fast and smooth.

Tor is the most secure browser out there that I know of to date. It's product of Mozella Firefox and Brave. Secure Tor Onion browsing can be added and accessed on Brave when you want to go private.
Try it with your VPN, I love it.

I absolutely do not want this, the last thing everyone needs is another web browser wrapped around a Chromium engine. I agree with the majority of the comments that mention how wasteful this would be with Proton resources.
Firefox is an excellent open-source browser that already focuses on privacy.

Just use brave or Firefox. Both can be customized to be very private. This would be a waste of ProtonMails time.

I would like to downvote this feature. It would be a huge amount of work and it'll never have all the features that everyone wants in a web browser, and as others have noted, there are already other browsers that implement privacy features. Why are you asking Protonmail to duplicate that work?

You should definitely use Firefox, it's open source and focused on privacy and safety

PROTON BROWSER - Develop a chromium-and-privacy-based "Proton Browser" with its own internal apps such as, audio & video player which can play files locally or from Proton Drive - Email, calendar, contacts, notepad, extensions, history, bookmark, logins, which synchronize with our Proton account. Should be available on Linux, Windows, and MAC. The absolute key is being able to open and save files directly to and from your Proton Drive - as well as on the local machine. This would allow you to natively access your files on any computer without having to install anything other than the browser.

I disagree. If you want to solve everything you end up solving nothing. Proton should focus on what they do great: creating privacy-centric alternatives to Google services, like Mail, Contacts, Calendar, etc

This would be great and a Proton Search Engine as well!

Agree with dan, John & others. Brave does it all. It's also designed & supported by engineers.

Developing a browser takes a lot of time and there are already other really good projects like Brave Browser out there based on Chromium that this functionality could be built upon.
No need for Proton to get into browser development. It would only take away recources from other projects.
This functionality could likely be achieved with a browser extension or integration. Perhaps a fork of an open source browser project.
