Yes! RUHI Browser is 100% free with no in-app purchases, paid subscriptions, or paywalled features. All privacy, ad-blocking, and performance tools are fully unlocked for all users on both Windows and Android.

RUHI Browser is developed by independent software engineer Saikh Sufian and published officially under RUHI Applications.

RUHI Browser is engineered on the industry-standard Chromium rendering core. On Windows, it leverages Microsoft WebView2 runtime with hardware GPU acceleration. On Android, it utilizes high-efficiency Chromium/WebKit mobile rendering.

Because RUHI Browser is distributed via official app stores (Microsoft Store on Windows and Google Play Store on Android), new updates and security patches install automatically in the background without needing manual file downloads.

RUHI Browser supports 64-bit (x64) editions of Windows 11 and Windows 10 (Build 1809 or later).

Simply click the GET IT FROM Microsoft Store button on our website or open the Windows Microsoft Store app, search for RUHI Browser, and click "Get". Windows handles installation and setup seamlessly.

Unlike standard dark modes that use dark gray tones, RUHI Mobile features true pitch-black (hex #000000) styling. On OLED and AMOLED screens, black pixels are completely turned off, drastically saving battery life during browsing sessions.

No. RUHI Mobile does not start any background telemetry daemons, persistent notification push services, or analytics loggers. When you close the app, it stops consuming CPU and memory immediately.

Strictly NO. RUHI Browser was designed from inception with a Zero-Telemetry architecture. We do NOT log, collect, transmit, or monetize your URLs, search queries, browsing history, or IP address. Everything stays stored strictly on your local device.

On Windows, your saved credentials are encrypted using Windows DPAPI (Data Protection API) tied cryptographically to your Windows user account and hardware profile. On Android, data is protected by native OS sandboxing and keystore encryption.

In Private Mode (open with Ctrl + Shift + N), RUHI Browser runs in a separate, memory-only session. Once you close the private window, all history, session cookies, and temporary site data from that session are wiped completely.

Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete on Windows or open Settings → Privacy → Clear Data on Android. You can choose to purge cached images, cookies, or history for any timeframe.

RUHI Browser features native network-level filtering rules that prevent banner advertisements, intrusive pop-ups, pre-roll video ads, and cross-site tracking scripts from ever downloading. This results in up to 3x faster webpage loads and significantly lower bandwidth usage.

Most commercial browsers bundle gigabytes of telemetry reporters, AI data-harvesting tools, news feeds, and sponsored extensions. RUHI Browser strips away all that bloat, keeping only essential Chromium browsing rendering, local hardware acceleration, and AdBlock.
