Windows · v1.1.0 · 720 KB

The web,
without the noise.

A featherweight browser that blocks ads, trackers, pop-ups and YouTube ads, natively, before they ever reach you. None of the sidebars, wallets, sponsored tiles or telemetry modern browsers ship with. Just a fast, quiet window onto the internet.

How the browser strips ads, explained 1.2M views

Researchers across twelve institutions have once more verified what everyone already suspected, prompting a fresh wave of headlines and very little else of substance.

Bloatless protection Flip it to watch the noise vanish

Easy migration

Switching takes seconds, not an afternoon.

Native one-click import pulls your bookmarks and cookies straight from Chrome, Edge, Brave or any Chromium browser. Stay logged in, keep your tabs, lose the bloat.

What it kills

Three kinds of noise, gone at the source.

Everything is filtered before it loads, not hidden after the fact. Pages are lighter, quieter and faster because the junk never arrives.

Ads & trackers

Ads, trackers and analytics are stopped before they ever load, so pages come up clean, light and fast, with the blank spaces they'd leave swept away too.

Gone before the page loads

Pop-ups & pop-unders

New-window spam, redirect chains and the pop-unders that hide behind your tab are stopped before they appear. The links you actually click still work. The ones that open themselves don't.

0 uninvited windows

YouTube ads, natively

Most blockers can't stop YouTube ads: they come from the same place as the video itself. Bloatless removes them anyway, so the video just plays. No skipping, no waiting.

The name is the spec

We left out everything you never asked for.

Modern browsers have quietly become app stores, ad networks and telemetry pipelines. Bloatless ships exactly one thing: a browser.

Get Bloatless

Two ways to install. Both weigh almost nothing.

Windows 10 & 11, 64-bit. Uses the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime that already ships with Windows. The installer fetches it automatically if it's missing.
