Privacy comes first with this web browser

Dooble is an open source web browser, which aims to facilitate quick and secure internet surfing.

Based on WebKit, the powerful engine that both Safari and Google Chrome also use, Dooble’s main focus is security on the web. Dooble also incorporates RetroShare, an application that makes it possible for you to send emails and files with a sense of privacy. RetroShare also has a built-in chat program for those who want a complete web surfing experience without the need to open a stand-alone desktop application to chat with friends and family.

In addition, cookies and Javascript are disabled on Dooble by default. Dooble also automatically removes the browser’s history every time you close the program. You can make changes to the default settings with relative ease through the configuration menu. There are also several search engines included with the browser, tabbed browsing, and the ability to open bookmarks with the keypad numbers. Mac users will additionally notice a substantially faster web browsing experience than their counterparts surfing via a Windows PC, as well as more interesting-looking browser tabs.

Unfortunately, Dooble’s search engine automatically gives you search results in German, no matter what language you configured to be your primary option. Sometimes the browser’s font size also automatically shrinks to an illegible level after you’ve changed unrelated settings, which can be annoying.

Dooble’s interface isn’t really unique or innovative, but it’s a competent and secure browser alternative.
