On-device artificial intelligence employed by AI-based image filters instantly analyzes the search results and blurs explicit or graphic images before they display completely. The users are allowed to click and see the image. The privacy-first strategy guarantees the processing of sensitive material on the local level, preserving the anonymity of users.
The enhanced scam blocker prevents such phishing websites, counterfeit logins pages and hateful websites that might cause harm. The browser also blocks immediate access when a threat is noticed and shows warning so that users could not tamper with their security. This is a background protection that offers privacy-First.

They are able to browse with less risk, with on-device protection in advance. The privacy-first shield has been enabled to everyone.
