Most people use the browser that comes with their device. Chrome on Android. Safari on iPhone. Edge on Windows. These choices are made for you long before you think about privacy or control.
Your browser is one of the most powerful tools on your device. It sees the websites you visit, the searches you make, the forms you submit and the content you explore each day. It plays a bigger role in your digital life than most people realise.
That is why the browser you choose matters.
Your browser sees more than you expect
A browser sits at the centre of how you use the internet. It can access:
- the sites you visit
- your search terms
- files you download
- scripts that run in the background
- tracking technology built into websites
Modern browsers also offer sync features that store your history, bookmarks and settings across devices. This creates a detailed picture of how you browse.
Some people are comfortable with this. Others prefer a browser that collects less and keeps less.
How major browsers handle your data
Most mainstream browsers are built by large tech companies with complex business models. Data helps improve their services, power features, personalise experiences and support their wider ecosystems.
These companies operate under different legal systems and data rules depending on where they are based. Some have more flexible guidelines around data handling. Others are governed by stricter privacy frameworks.
The result is simple. Your browser’s behaviour is shaped by the laws and business models behind it.
Why governance matters
Max follows the Australian Privacy Act 1988.
This framework focuses on responsible data handling and clear expectations around collection, access and security.
For many people, governance is not the first thing they consider when choosing a browser. But it can influence how your data is managed, what is collected and how long information is retained.
A trusted governance model offers clarity and accountability. It helps ensure that privacy is treated as a responsibility, not an afterthought.
Tracking is built into most websites
When you browse the internet, most pages include tracking technology such as analytics, pixels and advertising networks. These systems can observe your activity across different sites, which helps companies build behavioural profiles over time.
Many browsers allow these systems to run by default. Max takes the opposite approach by blocking many trackers, ads and third party cookies to reduce profiling and data collection.
A quieter, cleaner internet starts with fewer tracking systems loading in the background.
Your browser is the gatekeeper to your online experience
What your browser blocks, allows, loads or prioritises influences what you see and how you navigate the web. It determines:
- which trackers run
- what scripts execute
- how cookies behave
- what data leaves the device
Choosing a browser is choosing a digital environment. If privacy is important to you, it makes sense to choose a browser that is built with privacy in mind.
Where Max fits in
Max is a private browser with a full device VPN built in. It blocks ads, tracking scripts, fingerprinting methods and third party cookies while the VPN encrypts all internet traffic on the device.
Max does not keep logs of your browsing activity and does not sell personal data. Any diagnostics collected to improve performance are minimal, temporary and removed when no longer needed.
You get a browser designed to collect less, store less and know less.
Privacy made effortless.
A global browser with a clear approach to privacy
Max is built in Australia and operates under Australian law, but it is created for anyone in the world who wants a simple, reliable and responsible browsing experience.
It offers two layers of protection.
The browser reduces how much data is collected.
The VPN protects your connection underneath.
This combination creates a steady and predictable privacy environment without complexity.
Free when you need it. Unlimited when you want it.
Choosing a browser is choosing your privacy
You can continue with the browser that came with your device. Many people do.
Or you can choose Max. A calmer, clearer and more private way to browse.
Same internet. Different experience.
A browser built for people who want more control, not more noise.
