VPN Built Into Your Browser: Why Max Does It Differently

November 10, 2025

Most VPNs protect only part of your online activity. A browser extension only protects the browser, not the whole device. A standalone VPN app protects only when you remember to turn it on. Many privacy tools feel like they were built for tech experts, not for everyday life.

Max takes a different approach. It combines a private browser with a full device VPN so your apps, tabs and background connections all share the same protected layer. One app. One system. One experience.

Privacy made effortless.

How most “VPN in a browser” tools actually work

Many free or low cost VPN tools give the impression of protection without covering the whole device. A browser VPN only protects the browser. Your maps, messaging apps and system services continue to connect normally.

That gap matters. It means your device is only partly protected.

Even full VPN apps often create extra friction. You download a separate app, set up an account, manage another subscription and remember to switch it on each time. It adds noise for something that should be simple.

How Max works

Max removes that split.

The browser and VPN are built together in the same app. When you turn on the VPN, all internet traffic on the device passes through the same encrypted tunnel. Your browsing, apps and background connections share one protected path.

It is fast, simple and consistent across desktop and mobile.

Real protection, not marketing layers

Max uses WireGuard with modern encryption to create a fast and reliable connection. Your IP address is masked. Your traffic is encrypted. Tracking systems inside the browser are blocked before they load.

This reduces how much data websites, advertisers and networks can collect about your behaviour. You get a cleaner, calmer experience without managing extra tools.

Everything you need. Nothing you do not.

Why the integrated approach works

One app instead of two

Max replaces the traditional “browser plus VPN” setup. There is no extra download, no background process from a second app and no juggling between interfaces. It feels familiar from the moment you install it.

Designed for efficiency

Max uses modern encryption that performs well across devices while keeping overhead low. One app doing the work of two creates a simpler and more efficient setup.

Predictable privacy

With many tools, it is not always clear what is protected and what is not. Max removes that uncertainty by providing one system that handles it for you.

Clear and simple pricing

Max includes 2GB of free encrypted VPN data every month. There are no trial periods and no hidden fees. If you need more data, you can top up for five dollars or upgrade to the Community plan for unlimited data.

Free when you need it. Unlimited when you want it.

Built on responsible data handling

Max follows the Australian Privacy Act 1988.

It does not keep logs of browsing activity and does not sell personal data. Diagnostics are minimal, temporary and removed when no longer needed. The focus is simple. Collect less. Store less. Know less.

Your activity stays yours.

Two layers working together

Max protects at the browser level and at the network level.

Browser layer:

  • blocks ads 
  • blocks tracking scripts 
  • reduces fingerprinting 
  • blocks third party cookies 

 

VPN layer:

  • encrypts all device traffic 
  • masks your IP address 
  • protects apps and background connections 

 

The browser reduces data collection at the source and the VPN protects your connection underneath. Together they create a steady and predictable privacy system.

Who Max is built for

Max works well for people who want privacy without effort.

  • everyday users who want a simple, reliable VPN 
  • travellers who need protection on public Wi Fi 
  • people who prefer predictable pricing 
  • families who want one tool across all devices 
  • anyone who prefers a calmer, cleaner browsing experience 
  • heavy users who want unlimited VPN data without premium pricing 

 

Whether you use a VPN occasionally or every day, Max adapts to your routine.

A simpler way to stay protected

You do not need separate apps.

You do not need a complicated setup.

You do not need to remember anything.

Download Max, turn on the VPN and browse the way you always have. Max handles the rest.

A private experience should feel simple. Max makes it that way.
