Versions:
Dot Browser 87.0, the sole release from Mozilla, is a privacy-centric web browser built directly on the Firefox codebase, positioning itself in the Browsers category for users who want Firefox-level compatibility without telemetry. The software strips out Mozilla’s data-collection components and substitutes them with hardened defaults: tracking protection is locked to “Strict,” third-party cookies are blocked by default, and all connections are upgraded to HTTPS whenever possible. These choices make it suitable for journalists researching sensitive topics, developers testing privacy-preserving extensions, and everyday users who prefer a Firefox-style interface while minimizing exposure to analytics and advertising networks. Because it retains Firefox’s WebRender engine and add-on ecosystem, Dot Browser supports the same web standards, developer tools, and extension library, allowing users to install uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, or other security-oriented add-ons without additional tweaks. The single-version lineage—version 87.0—means the browser is frozen at the feature set and security baseline of that Firefox release, so enterprises can standardize on a known codebase while auditors can verify its privacy claims against publicly available source diffs. Dot Browser is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest published build and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
