Local by default

The model runs locally, private by default. No cloud round-trip. Your browsing stays yours.

The intelligence runs on your own machine, inside your own browser. What you read, ask, and summarize doesn't get shipped to someone else's server to be processed, logged, or trained on.

Local isn't a mode you switch on. It's the default. For most of what a browser assistant does, your pages have no reason to leave the device.

On-device
The model runs on your machine, inside your browser. Not in a data center.
No round-trip
Pages aren't shipped off to a server to be read on your behalf.
Yours to keep
What you browse stays with you. It isn't logged or trained on.
