In development v0.1.0-dev · Phase 1 of 4

A browser designed around you.

Technical precision without the attention economy. ITISYOU is a Chromium-derived browser being built in the open around one rule: you own your data, and every capability boundary is explicit. AI is off by default — and structurally incapable of silent access.

No downloads yet — the Phase 1 foundation is complete, Phases 2–4 are ahead, and installers arrive with Phase 4. Everything on this site reflects the real, current state of the project.

Engineered for focus

Modular tools on a high-performance foundation

What Phase 1 is building right now — labeled by real status, not marketing tense.

Tab Mode + WorkspacesIn development

Contexts with hard edges

A classic, fast tab model plus a workspace foundation that keeps research, development, and personal browsing in separate named contexts. Session recovery and local history are part of the same Phase 1 scope.

AI — optional by designIn development

Off. Actually off.

The AI runtime exists only as disabled interfaces: no provider configured, no API keys, zero provider calls. Any future AI is opt-in per action.

Privacy-first architectureDesign principle

Privacy as architecture, not a settings page

History, workspace data, sessions, and permissions live in separate local datasets with separate boundaries. Permission policy is deny-by-default. There is no telemetry endpoint in the codebase — a claim we re-verify at every milestone rather than assert once.

EngineIn development

Chromium-derived, sandbox intact

Chromium 144.0.7559.261 via the CEF binary distribution. Upstream process model, sandbox, and Site Isolation preserved — decided and documented in ADR-001.
