Password protection, download scanning, data encryption–those are features, and Shift has all of them. But your privacy isn’t a feature, it’s a right, and we take on strict practices, security upgrades, and policies to protect it. 

Online security starts with your browser

It’s our job to safeguard your data, and we take that job seriously. Shift is built to keep your data secure and protect you from risky websites or downloads that threaten your privacy. 

Your data belongs to you

Shift keeps you anonymous by default, it’s always encrypted and handled according to strict international privacy standards. 

Advanced protection built into your browser

Shift builds on top of Google’s Safe Browsing technology with layers of additional security measures to provide enhanced privacy and security. 

• Security protection is on by default
• Shift will block unsafe, unsecure, or malicious sites
• Scan Avira’s database of unsafe files and known viruses
• Stops unsafe downloads before they save to your computer

Safely store your passwords without a third-party app

Your passwords are encrypted and stored locally so you can securely use auto-fill for log in and payment. Shift also offers a security checkup that identifies duplicate or weak passwords. 

Secure browsing built on Chromium, reinforced by Shift

• Isolated processes - Web content runs in separate, sandboxed processes to prevent cross-site interference and to contain potential threads.
• Secure extensions - Shift prevents malicious extensions from accessing your data or affecting your browsing without your knowledge.
• Security updates - Chromium updates improve protection against malware, data leaks, and zero-day attacks.
• Private browsing - Browse without saving your history, cookies, or other data.
• Safe Browsing - Stay protected from dangerous websites or downloads known to contain malware.
