Privacy commitments
Privacy is a core principle of Kuro, and the project has committed that Kuro will never:
- Charge users just to use the browser, or require payment for basic functionality.
- Use advertisements as part of the browser experience.
- Sell user data.
- Collect unnecessary user data.
- Put monetization ahead of user privacy, or sacrifice privacy simply to make money.
- Intentionally create unnecessary lock-in.
How privacy is built into the design
- Kuro's core functionality should not depend on collecting your browsing data.
- Browser data is meant to stay primarily on your device and under your control. The project avoids building centralized storage of user data.
- Sync, if it is offered, will be optional, user-controlled, clearly explained and separate from basic browser functionality.
- Kuro AI is optional and designed to be local-first. See AI Features.
- Kuro is open source, so anyone can inspect how it works.
What has not been verified yet
Kuro is built on Firefox, so its network behavior starts from the upstream foundation. Documenting exactly what the current beta does — and does not — send over the network is still to be done.
Privacy Policy and contact
The Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab) is the authoritative description of how data is handled. For privacy questions, write to KuroBrowser@emailthing.xyz.
Security
Kuro is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, so its code can be inspected by anyone. That helps, but it is not a guarantee. No browser can promise perfect security or complete anonymity, and Kuro does not claim to.
Reporting a vulnerability
Staying safe
- Download Kuro only from the official website (opens in a new tab).
- Install extensions only from sources you trust.
- Read permission prompts, such as camera, microphone and location, before you allow them.
