Wave Browser — Putting productivity back into browsing

Society is more distracted today than ever. The place we turn to get things done is often the very place that sidetracks us and slows our performance. The Wave team saw this as an opportunity to create a better browsing experience for driven individuals looking to own their time.

Life can be challenging. But browsing the web should be easy. Wave Browser’s mission is to provide a web browser that’s efficient, intuitive, and personal.

What is Wave Browser?

Wave Browser is the ultimate productivity companion. This free, Chromium-based browser was developed by our parent company, Wavesor Software, and was designed to make productivity simpler. Wave has an intuitive homepage and comes equipt with a powerful sidebar that helps you accomplish virtually anything.

Complete startup tasks and you’ll gain quick access to your email and favorite websites, generate fast language translations, play music, and stream television, plus keep in touch with friends via instant messaging social platforms, access saved passwords, create folders and more!

Oh yeah, and please don’t confuse us with WaveBrowser.com, we are separate companies and it hurts our feelings.

Wave Browser’s Monetization

Wave Browser’s default search engine is Yahoo but users have the option to switch this out for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or any other search engine of their choice within the browser’s control panel.

The browser’s monetization comes mainly from user search queries. Meaning, we monetize any ads that are clicked when users conduct a search. We may also occasionally partner with other providers who are hand-picked and carefully chosen on the premise that they add value to the browser and enhance users’ browsing experience.

Wave’s team of security experts places high value on user privacy which is why we will never sell your personal information or personal data. As such, any rumors that claim Wave Browser is a search hijacker, adware, Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), or browser hijacker have no actual basis and are completely false. Have doubts? Just review our data collection practices in our privacy policy!

A Robust Operating System Meets Simple Browsing

Wave Browser’s new look

Simple website. Even simpler browsing.

We could not be more excited to announce the launch of Wave Browser’s new branding and a redesigned website to go with it. Our new look reflects our commitment to simplicity and ease of use. The sleek and modern design of our website makes it easy to find the information you need, while Wave Browser’s intuitive interface makes it simple to navigate the web without distractions.

Our new site design represents everything we value in the world’s best browser:

  • Speed
  • Efficiency
  • And above all — simplicity

We wanted to highlight all of Wave Browser’s incredible features while giving users a better depiction of what their browsing experience could look like.

New logo. Same strong values.

Wave Browser New Logo

The design choice for the new logo for Wave Browser was based on the concept of simplicity and productivity. The logo features a stylized wave in a blue color scheme, which represents the “wave” in the name of the browser. The clean and minimalistic design of the logo reflects the simplicity and ease of use that is at the core of the Wave Browser brand.

The blue colors were chosen to represent trust, dependability, and professionalism. It conveys a sense of calm and reliability, which is important for a browser that is designed to help users stay focused and productive.

The typeface used in the logo is a modern and sleek font, which helps to convey a sense of innovation and forward-thinking. This font is chosen to reflect the innovative approach to browsing that Wave Browser offers.

Wave Browser’s Robust Safety & Security Features:

Wave Browser Security Features

Wave prioritizes safe browsing through software bundling or file-bundling. Meaning when you download our browser, you download a single file that gives you a powerful browser loaded with extra security features, such as the Wave Browser Ad Blocker, HTTPS Checker, and Browser Guardian. We’ll talk about why each of these plays an essential role in our efforts to provide a safe browsing experience that protects users from malicious software, viruses, and hackers. Additionally, Wave Browser has a VPN underway! This next step will further enhance user privacy and protection and will be available soon.

Disable Ads — Wave’s AntiVirus Ad Blocker

Wave Browser Ad Blocker

Wave Browser features a powerful built-in ad blocker and antivirus software which work together to disable disruptive and potentially dangerous ads. By removing these distractions, Wave Browser ensures faster page loading times, reduces data consumption, and provides a cleaner interface.

The ad blocker in Wave Browser also helps protect your privacy by blocking tracking scripts and preventing advertisers from collecting your browsing data. It creates a more secure environment by eliminating potential avenues for malware or malicious code that could be embedded within ads.

You can choose to whitelist specific websites that you want to support or blacklist annoying ad-heavy sites. This level of control ensures that you strike the right balance between browsing free of advertisements and supporting content creators esc like on YouTube.

Wave Browser’s Built-in HTTPS Checker

Wave Browser HTTPS Checker

Wave Browser’s HTTPS Checker is a valuable feature that enhances your browsing security by verifying the encryption status of websites you visit, which you may not notice on your own at first glance. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is a secure version of HTTP that encrypts the data transmitted between your browser and the website you’re accessing, protecting it from potential eavesdropping or tampering.

The HTTPS Checker in Wave Browser actively scans and analyzes the security protocols of websites. When you visit a site, the HTTPS Checker examines whether the connection is established over HTTPS and whether the SSL/TLS certificates are valid and trusted. It provides visual indicators, such as a padlock icon, to indicate the security status of the website.

Wave’s Browser Guardian: Protect Your Default Settings

Wave Browser Guardian

Wave Browser’s Browser Guardian is a protective feature designed to ensure a secure and hassle-free browsing experience by automatically blocking extensions that attempt to modify your default browser settings without your consent. These settings can include your homepage, search engine, new tab page, or other preferences.

By preventing unauthorized modifications, Browser Guardian helps you maintain control over your browsing experience and protects you from potentially malicious or intrusive extensions. It acts as a safeguard against unwanted changes that could lead to compromised security, privacy issues, or disruptions in your workflow.

Wave Built-in VPN Protection Coming Soon

Wave VPN

Wave Browser will soon be introducing an added layer of security and privacy — our built-in VPN feature. With Wave Browser’s VPN, you can experience a range of benefits that enhance your online experience.

  1. Ultimate Privacy Protection: Wave Browser’s VPN encrypts your internet traffic, shielding it from prying eyes and potential surveillance.
  2. Access Any Content: Wave Browser’s VPN allows you to bypass regional barriers, granting you access to your favorite streaming services, blocked websites, or restricted content. Enjoy your favorite shows and websites from anywhere in the world.
  3. Seamless Integration: Unlike separate VPN applications, Wave Browser’s built-in VPN seamlessly integrates with your browsing experience. No need to install additional software or worry about compatibility issues.
