BubblesTheDev Web Browser

A browser built for privacy, control, and a smoother everyday experience ๐Ÿซง

Version Platform Electron License

๐ŸŒ What Is It?

BubblesTheDev Web Browser is a Windows browser for people who want something familiar, useful, and more privacy-friendly without giving up everyday features.

It is designed to feel like a real daily browser, not just a stripped-down experiment. You still get tabs, bookmarks, saved passwords, downloads, a home page, streaming tools, privacy protections, and Windows-focused extras all in one place.

Version 1.0.65 is a security-focused maintenance update that refreshes dependencies and keeps the current browser feature set intact.

What's New In 1.0.65

  • Security-focused dependency refresh for the current Windows build
  • Updated package metadata and installer-facing version references to 1.0.65
  • No new headline browser features in this release
  • Existing privacy, streaming, download-protection, diagnostics, and performance features remain in place

This feature is designed to make streaming cleaner and safer. It is not a credential grabber, proxy login tool, or session extractor.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Bubbles Safe Browsing

Bubbles Safe Browsing is the browser's download protection system.

It helps make downloads safer by using Windows-friendly protection layers like:

  • Windows Attachment Services
  • Mark of the Web
  • Windows Defender when available
  • digital signature checks
  • browser safety warnings before opening risky files

If your PC already has antivirus installed, the browser can work more naturally with the Windows security path already on that system.

โฌ‡๏ธ Download

๐Ÿš€ How To Install

  1. Download the latest installer.
  2. Run BubblesTheDev Web Browser_Installer_1.0.65.exe.
  3. Choose where you want to install it.
  4. Finish setup and launch the browser.

The installer supports:

  • normal installs
  • custom install locations
  • external HDD installs
  • external SSD installs
  • USB flash-drive installs

๐Ÿ”„ Updating

The browser does not silently patch itself in the background.

Instead:

  • updates still use a normal installer
  • you can use Check for Updates from the app menu
  • fresh installs can do a one-time follow-up update check for a smoother setup experience

If you are updating manually, uninstall the older version first, then run the new installer.

๐Ÿงน Uninstall

When uninstalling, you can choose what local data to keep or remove.

Current choices include:

  • browser profile data
  • saved passwords
  • diagnostics reports
  • local update preferences

So if you want to reinstall later, you do not have to wipe everything unless you want to.

๐Ÿ” Privacy

This browser is built to keep things simple, respectful, and easy to understand.

It does:

  • keep browser data local on your device
  • avoid built-in telemetry and analytics systems
  • avoid automatic diagnostics upload
  • give you more control over your local browser data

It does not:

  • run built-in tracking analytics
  • automatically upload your diagnostics
  • act like a credential interceptor
  • expose supported streaming cookies or tokens to page code

Important note:

Normal web browsing still creates regular internet traffic when you visit websites, search, stream, or download files. That part is just how browsers work.

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ System Requirements

  • Windows 11
  • x64 architecture
  • 4 GB RAM minimum
  • around 300 MB free disk space
