FAQ

Is it really free for personal use?

Yes. The browser is free for personal users; the enterprise edition adds policy deployment, central management and audit, and is licensed.

Can I import data from my old browser?

Yes. On first launch you can import bookmarks, history and saved passwords from other installed browsers, and you can import again at any time in settings.

Will it conflict with my current browser?

No. Multiple browsers can coexist without interfering with each other; setting a default only changes which one opens links.
