Santa Browser is built by a passionate team reimagining the relationship between people and the internet. Our goal is to create a user-centered ecosystem that prioritizes privacy, rewards engagement, and supports a self-sustaining, decentralized economy.

Santa Browser sets itself apart from other web/web3 browsers in several key ways:

1. Web3 Onboarding: One of the prime goals of our mission is to introduce web3 to millions across the world. By seamlessly integrating privacy, web3, and rewards into one wholesome application, Santa is designed to make it incredibly easy for users to start exploring Web3 and decentralized applications.

2. User-Centric Rewards: Santa rewards users for participating in its digital ecosystem, offering points & $USDT tokens for browsing, completing tasks, and engaging in various activities. This model is designed to be fair and user-centric, ensuring that the value generated is shared directly with the users.

3. Advanced Privacy Features: Santa includes sophisticated privacy tools like a fingerprint randomizer, various ad/tracker blockers, and does not share any data with third parties, ensuring user privacy is maintained at all times.

4. Integrated Web3 Functionalities: With an in-built HD wallet, support for decentralized applications (dApps), and integration with major blockchain protocols, Santa facilitates seamless interaction with the Web3 ecosystem.

5. Seamless User Experience: Santa is packed with intuitively designed ease-of-use features to enhance the overall browsing experience

Absolutely! There is no pay-wall to block ads or to access any feature of Santa. Our users pay no cost - obvious or hidden.

Santa Browser is completely free.

  • And in that regard, our relationship with our users is an inversion of the traditional dynamic, as users collect earnings & rewards when browsing with Santa.

    • Not yet, but Santa will be open-source once we have further refined and stabilized the base code.

    Santa is dedicated to the constant process of building/improving systems that provide users with far greater control over their data and privacy.

    We finished 4 months of beta testing and launched our v1.0 on the 25th of December, 2022, for Windows & MacOS. On 24th May 2023, we released Santa Browser for Android in Early Access. A secret Bug Bounty was announced on release day, driving 1K+ downloads in less than a week. Today, Santa has over 150k users across platforms.

    With a lot of exciting features on the horizon & regular updates being churned out, we are excited for what the future holds. This is just the beginning...

    Santa is currently available on Windows, Mac & Android. iOS support will be coming soon!

    Santa Browser's public roadmap will be released in the near future.

    Every year, Christmas brings millions of people around the world together. We want to do the same on web3, while carrying the same spirit of community, joy and excitement.
    Especially given our focus on giving back to users, who better to embody all of that than Mr. Claus himself 🎅

    (Moreover, the founders of Santa initially had the idea during a conversation at a Christmas party, late into the wee hours of the night. Which may or may not have been the source of inspiration)

    Absolutely! Most extensions and plugins will work with Santa. As a fork of Chromium, Santa Browser is compatible with everything that runs on Chrome or other Chromium-based browsers.

    Yes. This has been available since Santa's v1.0 release for Windows & MacOS.
