DO NOT install Tabbit Browser

7 Upvotes

TL;DR: Tabbit’s ToS grants them a perpetual, irrevocable license to all your content. Their AI agent can access your accounts and make purchases, but if anything goes wrong, you’re liable.

And despite their homepage saying they don’t sell your data, the privacy policy says they share it with advertising partners.

I’ve seen this browser pop up a lot recently, so I wanted to check it out. I went over the terms of service and there are some very big red flags.

They take a perpetual, irrevocable license to everything you create

Section 5.2 grants Tabbit a “non-exclusive, transferable, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, exclusive, and irrevocable license” to basically all content you upload, submit, or generate through the browser. That means they can take anything you create in this browser, copy it, modify it, translate it, create derivative works from it, use it commercially, and sublicense it to whoever they want. The IP on those derivative works? Belongs to Tabbit, not you. They also grant themselves the right to pursue legal action on your behalf, in their own name, and keep the compensation. This is not normal for a browser.

Their AI agent can access your accounts and make purchases — but you’re liable

The browser has an AI agent that can log into websites, fill out forms, click buttons, and complete payments on your behalf. Sounds convenient until you read the fine print. If the agent makes a mistake and you don’t intervene fast enough, you’re “deemed to be fully aware of the consequences.” They disclaim all accuracy and reliability. And you agree to indemnify them for anything the agent does while following your instructions.

Their maximum liability to you is ~$75 USD

Section 6.4 caps their total liability at the greater of what you paid them in the past 12 months or SGD 100. For a free browser, that’s essentially zero.

Six months of inactivity = account deleted

Section 3.5 says if you don’t log in for six months, they can revoke your account and permanently delete all content, settings, and records. No recovery.

They can change all of this with 8 days’ notice

Section 1.3 lets them modify the terms with 8 calendar days’ notice. If you keep using the browser after that, you’ve accepted the new terms.

I’d recommend reading the full ToS yourself: https://www.tabbit.ai/terms

“We don’t sell your data” — except they share it with advertising partners

Tabbit’s homepage has a whole privacy section with a crossed-out “Selling your data” line and a FAQ that says “We don’t sell, train on, or share your data with anyone outside this chain.” Sounds great until you read the actual privacy policy. Under “Who do we share your personal data with,” point 2 says:

“Advertising and Statistical Analysis Partners: in order to assist with advertising or decision advice, improve effective reaching of advertising and further understand user needs, we may share information with partners who entrust us with information promotion and advertising services or statistical analysis partners.”

So they share your information with ad partners to “improve effective reaching of advertising.” You can call that whatever you want — the homepage calls it not selling your data.

Building an Open-Source Privacy-First Browser With Rust, Flutter & AI — Need Community Support

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

I’m currently building an open-source browser called Netra Browser.

The interesting part is:
I had absolutely no experience building browsers before starting this project.

I’m learning and building everything step-by-step with the help of AI models/agents like Codex, Claude, Gemini, and other AI tools while handling the architecture and development myself.

The browser is being built using:

  • Rust
  • Flutter
  • Native WebViews
  • C++ bridges
  • flutter_rust_bridge

The goal of Netra is simple:

  • Always open source
  • Privacy-first
  • No telemetry
  • No hidden tracking
  • No collecting personal user data

Today, almost every browser and search engine collects huge amounts of user data. That’s one of the main reasons I started building this project.

Currently, the first 3 development phases are completed, including:

  • Browser engine foundation
  • Rust browser core
  • Full UI integration

The project is still in early development, but I want to build it publicly and with community involvement from the beginning.

If anyone is interested in browser development, Rust, Flutter, systems programming, privacy-focused software, or open-source projects, contributions, ideas, feedback, and criticism would genuinely help the project grow.

And if Netra becomes successful with community support, the long-term goal is to also build a privacy-focused search engine around it.

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/rakeshkhokhar0/netra-browser

Would love to hear what people think

Browsers are starting to feel bloated

7 Upvotes

Been trying a few browsers on Windows lately for work and general browsing, and Chrome started feeling way heavier once I added multiple profiles, proxy extensions, and tab tools.

Firefox feels lighter on my setup, but I still hit occasional compatibility issues. What surprised me is how many newer browsers now include things like profile isolation, built-in proxies, and workspace tools by default.

Curious what browser people here actually stuck with long term and why.

The Privacy vs. Security Trade-off: Are niche browsers a zero-day disaster waiting to happen?

3 Upvotes

Ok, so I'm using the browsers suggested by you guys.
That are hyped up by everyone as being way superior to Chrome and Firefox.

But one thing bugs me... the project's development support could just end out of nowhere. This puts your browsing at risk because, without even knowing it, you’ll be using a default browser with severe security flaws that can be exploited by malicious actors.

Often, urgent and critical updates (zero-days) need to happen fast. How on top of things that dev team is will determine how much that vulnerability will be exploited by hackers online, or if the fix will even roll out in time.

With that in mind, is it actually safe to put our online security in the hands of these people just for the alleged benefits of 'de-googling your life'? Or does using an alternative Firefox fork "alt-v2-fox-redvelvet" which is supposed to let you browse peacefully, securely, and without a tech giant tracking and selling your data, actually achieve that goal at all?!

Btw: my options right now are: "Helium(chromium)" and "Floorp(firefox)"
