Definitely a great idea. Does anyone use duckduckgo.com?

Great idea.

We need a browser that TAKES NO POLITICAL SIDE.

I agree that a VPN is not really sufficient to ensure privacy - Google et al still can follow you from crumbs left in your browser etc. The Tor browser is fine but a bit slow ... I think designing a new browser from scratch might be a bit of a resource hog for you tho - maybe joining forces with Vivaldi might make more sense.
In the meantime some guidelines on how to make try and keep as much privacy as possible with the current tools would be welcome.
One way could be to use different browsers or computers for different types of activities .. or another to obfuscate the spying by searching for absolutely anything ... so a randomizer search ..

@ Christopher Dalton - Well stated. I agree wholeheartedly.

4 those who disagree - remember that the NSA is still collecting and storing all data traffic within the U.S. and anywhere else they have tentacles. Remember Edward Snowden?

There are a lot of private browsers out there such as TOR however most of them are slow (yes I know it always will be due to it's privacy browsing functions and ip re routing) I think it's a good idea for protnmail to invest in brwoser idea. The privacy browsers out there are lacking inovation, features , Speed could be improved, most look ugly and some of them is questionable in privacy claims. I think there is a place for proton browser in the market and if they play they cards right it could become a big player in the future.

Wouldn't this end up being somewhat of a parallel of tor?

I would love another browser alternative considering some of the questionable things Mozilla has been doing lately

Firefox Klar is not enough? I would prefer managing PGP certificates, imap and exporting private key

Can't you use private browsing?

absolutely sounds simply amazing a secure browser all for it!

Chrome is not the only browser. There's no need for a ProtonBrowser.

I think a browser would be great like Comodo dragon did with there browsers.

I think Proton Browser would be a great project.

Firefox with some privacy oriented extensions and Torbrowser are good choices. There really isn't needed for yet another browser.

There are enough browsers out there, another one won't help and it will dilute Proton focus.

I think we need it if it will be open source, cause it's difficult to disable and enable torbutton in tor browser, Firefox have some privacy issues like a lot of connections on startup to Mozilla servers (which you can cut off, but it's very hard to do , and Brave also have now privacy issues. So, good blank privacy browser with open source code will be great fresh idea. +1.

No need for this. Users can use Tor and go to the Proton Onion site instead.

Firefox is open source and overall a great browser. If Proton DID develop a relatively simliar browser, however, I would use it and even buy it if it was charged. Still, Firefox is hardly equivalent to Chrome.

-1 vote. Firefox, Brave, Tor work great.
To detected and block trackers use Privacy Badger by EFF.

I also use the free Epic privacy browser. I would prefer that ProtonMail add other features like a calendar instead of creating a browser that already exists. Maybe they could partner up together, though?
