FAQ

• What is Saya?+

  A web browser that sticks to the basics: browsing, with an ad blocker and a few well-chosen tools built in.

• What is Saya built on?+

  Electron, which bundles the Chromium engine. Pages render the way they do in other Chromium browsers.

• Why is the download so large?+

  Saya ships with its own copy of Chromium, so it doesn't depend on a browser already installed on your PC.

• How does the ad blocker work?+

  It uses filter lists to block ads, trackers and popup spam before they load. The shield icon shows how many it blocked, and you can pause it for any site.

• Which systems are supported?+

  Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) today. A Linux build (AppImage and .deb) is on the way.

• Is it free and open source?+

  Yes. Saya is released under the MIT license and the source is on GitHub.

• Where is my data kept?+

  History, bookmarks and settings are stored on your own computer.
