A browser built for a better web.
Vodou is an open, modern browser built for people who want a simpler, more thoughtful way to get around the web — without giving up speed, control, or the parts of browsing you already know.

Why switch?
A browser that's actually built for you
Vodou isn't trying to reinvent the web — it's trying to make your relationship with it a little better: faster, calmer, and more in your control.
Built-in phishing protection
Look-alike, punycode, and known-malicious domains are caught before they load.
A password manager, built in
An encrypted vault, not a separate app or extension.
AI that stays on your machine
Optional AI features that run on your own computer, not in someone's cloud.
Check where an image came from
Right-click an image to verify its Content Credentials, on your device.
Effortlessly familiar
If you've used a browser before, you already know how to use Vodou.
Engine updates, without the risk
Update Vodou and its Chromium engine in one click, with automatic rollback.
Open, from the ground up
Vodou is developed in the open on GitHub, under the MIT License.
A community that has your back
Get stuck, and real people — not just a help article — are there.
Built for everyone
Not just for the technical crowd
Vodou is designed to be genuinely easy for anyone to pick up, while staying open and technical enough for the people who like to look under the hood.
Everyday users
Browse, search, shop, watch, and read.
Vodou is built to just work — open it up and get on with your day. No configuration required, no jargon to learn.
Students
Stay focused and make the web work for you.
Keep research, coursework, and everything else organized without the clutter, so the browser helps you focus instead of fighting for your attention.
Creators
Build, explore, research, and create.
Whatever you're making, Vodou is built to stay out of your way so you can move between tools, tabs, and ideas without friction.
Developers
An open, technical community by design.
Vodou is developed in the open on GitHub. Read the code, file an issue, open a pull request, or just watch how it's built.
