Freedom - The Browser for a User-Owned Internet 🕊️
The internet should belong to its users, not the companies that control access to it.
Freedom is a free, open-source web browser that makes the decentralized internet accessible to everyone. No extensions, no centralized gateways, no gatekeepers.
Built on Chromium, Freedom works like the browser you’re already familiar with — but with something fundamentally different under the hood: native support for decentralized networks.
🌐 A Browser Built for the Next Internet
Today’s web depends on centralized infrastructure. Websites live on corporate servers, domain names can be seized, and access to information can be restricted by intermediaries.
The decentralized web offers an alternative: information distributed across peer-to-peer networks, owned and controlled by its users.
Freedom brings that alternative into your everyday browsing experience.
What makes Freedom different?
🔗 Direct access to decentralized networks
Freedom runs its own lightweight Swarm and IPFS nodes, connecting directly to peer-to-peer networks instead of routing requests through centralized gateways.
You don’t just visit the network. You become part of it.
🌍 Decentralized domain names
Forget complicated extensions and gateway URLs. Freedom supports decentralized naming systems like ENS natively.
Simply type freedombrowser.eth into your address bar and go.
🔐 Your wallet, your keys
Freedom includes a built-in Ethereum wallet for holding assets, sending transactions, and interacting with decentralized applications.
Your private keys stay on your device. Hardware wallets are supported, too.
🚀 Publish without permission
Publish websites and files directly to decentralized networks from your browser.
No hosting provider required. No centralized platform deciding what can stay online.
🛡️ Privacy by design
Freedom comes with built-in ad blocking and Tor support for accessing .onion services.
Privacy shouldn’t require installing a dozen extensions.
⚡ The Browser You Know, With Superpowers
Freedom isn’t asking you to abandon the existing web.
It’s built on Chromium, so your favorite websites, web applications, and video conferencing tools work as expected.
You get familiar tabs, bookmarks, a sidebar, automatic updates, and everything else you’d expect from a modern browser.
The difference is that Freedom also opens the door to an entirely different kind of internet.
🧩 The Technologies Behind Freedom
Freedom brings together an expanding ecosystem of decentralized technologies, including:
- Swarm — Decentralized storage and content distribution.
- IPFS — Peer-to-peer content-addressed networking.
- Radicle — Decentralized code collaboration.
- ENS — Human-readable names for the decentralized internet.
- Ethereum & Gnosis — Blockchain infrastructure and decentralized applications.
- Tor — Privacy-preserving access to the internet.
Rather than requiring users to understand and configure each technology separately, Freedom integrates them into a single, accessible experience.
💻 Available Now
Freedom is available as a free technical preview for:
- macOS — Apple Silicon
- Windows — x64
- Linux — Intel/AMD and ARM
Android and iOS versions are in development.
Freedom is fully open source, licensed under MPL-2.0, and developed in the open.
🌱 Building a Different Future for the Web
We believe the next internet should be:
Open. Anyone can participate.
Permissionless. No gatekeeper decides who gets access.
Resilient. No single company or server can switch it off.
Private. Your data and identity belong to you.
User-owned. The infrastructure serves its users, not the other way around.
Freedom is our contribution to making that future a reality.
And we’re just getting started.
