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.

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.

totally useless, there is already Brave Browser(+Brave Search)

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.

TL;DR: What John, Logan and Tyson wrote.
Considering that the Web portal currently includes WebGL and either Audio Context or Canvas fingerprinting code (which defeats the purpose of having anonymous private email), I'd far prefer to access it using Brave or Firefox in Strict mode and armed to the teeth with security and privacy plugins than risk using a custom browser that potentially doesn't support them and/or isn't open source. Even then, I'm not happy with the current state of affairs.
For the same reason, I'm not using the bridge, which uses Electron (a technology created by Google). Change the bridge to remove Electron and switch to Qt or GTK+ (even if you have to provide different binaries for different OSs or write it in Python/Cython with PySide and write installation instructions; Christophe Gohlke's unofficial wheels for Windows [not that anyone who's privacy/security-concious uses that, of course; unencrypted OSs are so last decade] are a breeze to install) and I'll be happy. Hell; give me access to the source code and *I'll* have a stab at doing that. (I have over ten years' dev experience. It shouldn't be too hard, even though I currently don't know C/C++.)

That's great

Logan commented
Hell no. These already exist. Proton needs to focus on their partially-complete products first.

Tyson commented
I would recommend Brave browser. I think it already has most if not all of the privacy features you'd expect.
-
John commented
There are already privacy-focused browsers out there, you don't seem to understand the amount of efforts required to maintain a web browser

I'm sure our security on line would increase a 100% with a Proton Browser to get rid of safari, opera, firefox, etc. If you make one we'll be total and complete.
