About this app

Read the news without the clutter—and listen when your hands are busy. Daol Browser is a lightweight browser with Reader Mode, read aloud, ad and tracker blocking, on-device translation, and Data Saver.

It is powered by Android System WebView and works without creating an account or setting up sync. Enter an address or search from one field and start browsing.

Key features

• Address and search input in one place
• On-device address suggestions and a choice of Google, Naver, or Daum
• A single top address bar that can hide while you scroll down
• HTTPS preferred when an address has no scheme
• Back, forward, home, reload, stop, and pull-to-refresh from the top of a page
• Multiple tabs with last-session restore and individual or bulk removal
• On-device bookmarks and history with per-item removal and a vertical recent-sites list
• Incognito browsing that separates cookies, site storage, and history from normal browsing
• Ad and tracker request blocking with bundled EasyList and EasyPrivacy rules
• Per-site blocking controls and blocked counts for the current app session
• Reader mode that simplifies suitable articles
• Google on-device translation installed only when needed, with translated text-to-speech
• Data Saver that reduces network images and common video or audio requests
• Desktop mode that lays pages out on a wider virtual viewport on phones
• Default-browser setup and web-link handling
• File downloads after user confirmation
• Uploads through the Android system file picker
• Full-screen video support
• Clear origin and permission prompts when a site requests camera, microphone, or location
• Confirmation before opening phone, SMS, email, map, market, or other compatible apps
• App-open ads with privacy choices and display-frequency limits

Safer defaults

Invalid SSL certificates cannot be bypassed. Mixed content on HTTPS pages, third-party cookies, and unsafe address schemes are blocked by default, while Android System WebView Safe Browsing remains enabled. Content blocking works within the bundled filter rules and cannot guarantee that every ad is blocked; it can be disabled immediately for a site if needed. Reader mode displays sanitized content in a dedicated view with JavaScript disabled. Explicit HTTP pages are shown as insecure.

Local-first privacy

There is no Daolsoft-operated account, sync server, or analytics SDK. Tabs, bookmarks, browsing history, past search terms, and preferences are stored on the device. Address suggestions use only these local records and do not send text to an external autocomplete service while you type. Blocked request URLs and Reader article content are not sent to a Daolsoft server or kept in persistent logs. Google ML Kit processes translations on the device; source text and results are not sent to a translation server or stored persistently. Web pages and searches communicate directly with their sites and search providers. Google Mobile Ads may process approximate location, app interactions, diagnostics, and device identifiers for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. See the privacy policy for details and available choices.

Daol Browser supports Android 9 and later. Web compatibility and security updates also depend on the Android System WebView installed on your device.
