A review by Michael

A privacy-based browser and search engine, Cliqz is available as a Firefox extension, desktop, and mobile browser to offer an excellent alternative to those dominating the browser market.

Pros

  • Available for mobile and desktop
  • Connect tabs feature
  • Integrated search engine
  • Anti-tracking mechanism
  • Forget mode
  • Privacy protection
  • Quick search feature

Cons

  • Does not support tablet mode
  • Still in development

Developed by a German developer of the same name, Cliqz is a fork of the Firefox browser with some privacy-focused changes like an embedded search engine and anti-tracking mechanism. It uses its index of pages to return results within the address bar drop-down menu instead of opening separate pages.

The search engine is designed to save time and data usage. You just need to type the query and select the website or swipe to see other results. The anti-tracking mechanism protects your privacy to the optimum. AI-based technology prevents your personal information from getting transferred to third parties upon visiting a website.

Cliqz browser is also available as an app for Android and iOS and facilitates sending tabs between desktop and mobile browsers to provide a seamless browsing experience. Upon opening a tab, Cliqz presents direct links to the most visited sites and lets you access the latest news from popular sources. It also comes loaded with Ad Blocker and Phishing protection for maximum protection.

Final Verdict

Overall, Cliqz is a great companion for those who prefer switching frequently between mobile and desktop. It is a powerful browser with all the standard features to facilitate a convenient browsing experience. It also comes with privacy features to keep you safe and protected against thefts and attacks.

The browser is available for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android systems but is in development stage for most of these platforms. However, it is an excellent tool for those who are looking for a safer, more advanced way of browsing the internet across devices.
