Ad Blocker: Blocks intrusive ads and trackers to speed up page loading.

TrafficMask: Masks your data to bypass blocks and filters.

Private AI: Anonymous AI feature that mixes requests for privacy.

User Interface

Aloha Browser’s interface will feel familiar to users of other Chromium-based browsers like Chrome or Edge.

It features a clean layout with a central search/URL bar, a built-in VPN toggle near the top toolbar, and customizable homepage shortcuts.

Navigation is straightforward, settings are accessible via a standard menu, and additional privacy tools are grouped logically for easy access.

As with most modern browsers, you can switch languages, enable or disable ad-blocking, and manage privacy settings without deep technical knowledge.
