Shift Browser protects your data with built-in encryption, real-time site scanning, and private browsing modes. We believe privacy isn't just a feature, it's a right. Shift is built with strict security practices that stay active by default to keep your online life safe and secure.
Online security in Shift Browser
From the moment you install the app, security runs in the background. We safeguard your data and protect you from risky websites. Shift even stops unsafe downloads before they ever reach your device. Since Shift is a native integration on your computer, your passwords stay stored locally and aren't shared with third parties.
Your data belongs to you
Encryption: Your data is scrambled using international privacy standards so only you can see it.
Anonymity: Shift keeps you anonymous by default to protect your identity.
Local Storage: Your passwords live on your machine, not on a cloud server where others could find them.
Advanced protection in Shift Browser
We've built Shift on top of Google’s Safe Browsing technology. Then, we added even more layers to make sure you're covered from every angle.
Built-in security layers
Site Blocking: Shift automatically blocks sites that are known to be malicious or unsecure.
Virus Scanning: We scan your files against Avira’s database of known threats.
Download Protection: If a download looks unsafe, Shift stops it before it's saved to your computer.
Password Checkup: You can run a quick check to find weak or duplicate passwords that might put you at risk.
Secure by design
Isolated Processes: Web content runs in its own "sandbox." This keeps a threat on one site from spreading to your other tabs.
Extension Controls: Shift blocks bad extensions from trying to peek at your private data.
Regular Updates: We provide constant Chromium updates to protect you against the newest malware and leaks.
Private Browsing: You can open a private window whenever you want to browse without saving your history or cookies.
Shift is designed to give you confidence every time you go online. With real-time scanning and always-on encryption, you don't have to worry about your safety. We've got you covered so you can stay in your flow.
