Versions:
Dichromate is a privacy-centric web browser built on the open-source Chromium engine by The Dichromate Authors; currently at release 111.0.5563.65, it has already reached its twenty-fifth public iteration since inception. Developed explicitly for users who want Google Chrome compatibility without the associated data collection, the application strips invasive tracking features while retaining the Blink rendering engine, extension support, and DevTools expected from a modern navigator. Typical use cases include anonymous research, secure online banking, corporate BYOD environments where telemetry must be minimized, and everyday surfing for privacy-conscious households; the browser also serves developers who need a clean Chromium baseline for testing Progressive Web Apps without Chrome’s proprietary hooks. Because it accepts standard Chrome extensions from the Web Store, organizations can layer ad-blockers, password managers, or certificate-pinning add-ons on top of an already hardened foundation. The project publishes both portable and installable builds for 64-bit Windows, making it straightforward to deploy across school labs, virtual desktops, or personal laptops without altering system-level Chrome keys. Updates arrive on a rolling schedule that merges upstream Chromium security patches within days of release, ensuring mitigation of zero-day exploits remains timely. As an actively maintained fork, Dichromate sits in the “Secure Browsers” sub-category of Windows web software, offering a middle ground between fully mainstream clients and Tor-level anonymity tools. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
