Catsxp

When it comes to choosing a web browser, you have lots of alternatives at your disposal. Evidently, the major players on the market are the most popular, but there are also various other web browsers, each with its own perks.

The Catsxp is one relevant example, as it provides a web browser that focuses on user privacy and enhanced security. Relying on a Chromium-based engine, Catsxp features high speed browsing and comes with all the advantages of the Chromium kernel.

Upon launch, you are greeted by the black-themed, elegant interface and the familiar look of the any Chromium-based browser. As expected, you can open multiple pages at the same time, each in a different tab.

What is noticeable is the “New Tab” page, which offers a customizable dashboard that displays information about the blocked ads and trackers, the amount of saved bandwidth, and more.

For instance, the dashboard displays the system’s clock, the latest news, as well as the recently accessed pages or, if you wish so, your favorite pages. You are free to customize this dashboard as you wish.

But the utmost features of the Catsxp browser are related to privacy protection and browsing security. The default configuration of this browser is designed to prevent tracking and block advertising from the start.

Thanks to the so-called “Shields”, Catsxp can automatically block tracking attempts and advertisements around the web and redirect connections to HTTPS, if available. Scripts and cookies can also be blocked automatically. To set exceptions, you can manage custom rules for ads and cookies.

Continuing with the privacy-oriented features, Catsxp can disable auto-complete and allow privacy-preserving product analytics. There is also a safety check test that you can run anytime you want to make sure there is no data breach or extensions that have been reported as dangerous. To avoid any distractions, you can configure Catsxp to avoid showing social media buttons on the visited pages.

Catsxp features gesture-enabled controls and advanced customization options. It comes with a built-in screenshot capturing tool that you can use to take a screenshot of the entire page or the visible area.

As expected, it also comes with a Bookmark and a Download manager, as well as support for Chrome extensions, ready to enhance its functionality.

What makes Catsxp stand from the crowd is the privacy protection tools. While with other browsers additonal extensions are needed to block trackers and adware, Catsxp comes with built-in functionality to prevent data breaches and data sharing.
