Privacy & Security
How Vodou handles your data, and the protections it runs on every page.
How Vodou handles your browsing data
Why there's no separate 'private browsing mode' — ordinary browsing already works this way.
Tracker & ad blocking
How Vodou's request blocker works, and how to pause it for one site.
Deceptive-site protection
How Vodou catches look-alike, punycode, and typosquatting domains.
Safe Browsing
Checking sites against public phishing/malware lists, entirely on your device.
Location Guard, camera & microphone blocking
Blocking geolocation, webcam, and microphone access by default.
Cookie exceptions: staying signed in
Keeping specific sites signed in without giving up memory-only cookies everywhere else.
Location & region emulation
Making sites see a different region, language, or (optionally) geolocation.
Updating the Chromium engine (Qt & WebEngine)
Keeping Qt, PyQt6, and the Chromium engine current — safely, as one set.
Content Credentials (C2PA)
Checking an image's provenance on your device.
The certificate viewer
Reading the security pill and viewing a page's certificate.
Clearing your browsing data
What Ctrl+Shift+Del actually clears, and why quitting isn't the same thing.
Browser Setting Protection
Why your start page or search engine might get restored automatically, and how to review it.
