Built on Ungoogled Chromium. Stripped of every service that tracks you. Fast on hardware the industry abandoned. Compatible with the web as it actually exists.
Every Google service stripped from the binary. No background calls, no profiling, no silent data collection. The browser does what you tell it, nothing more.
Without Google's middleware, preloaders, and sync engines, Snipe idles lighter and peaks lower. Built for machines the browser industry pretends don't exist.
Native Ruffle integration brings Flash content back — games, interactive media, legacy applications — running inside the modern sandbox without plugins.
ISP, router, and OS layers already handle threat filtering. We don't add a redundant data-extraction service on top and call it safety. You're protected and private.
The browser industry has adopted a model of deliberate abandonment. Chrome drops Windows 7. Modern browsers drop PowerPC. The assumption is that users on older hardware are an acceptable loss.
Snipe's position is that no user is an acceptable loss. Legacy support isn't what Snipe is — it's what happens when you refuse to write anyone off.
The same principle that runs Snipe Browser on Windows 7 is what powers SnipeOffice back to PowerPC hardware. It's not a feature. It's a value.
