Sverk: Browser with AI Chat

Sverk is a web browser that blocks ads and trackers from the first launch. An AI chat opens from a button over any page, and Sverk warns you before a scam or phishing site opens. Ad blocker • Built into the browser and on from the start: ads, trackers and cookie banners don’t show. No separate adblock app or extension needed. • The Strict level also removes “subscribe” pop-ups, social buttons, chat widgets and “get the app” banners. • Cookie banners are hidden, and nothing is clicked for you: consent is neither given nor refused. • If blocking breaks a site, turn it off for that site with the shield in the address bar. • Ad blocking lists update every day, without an app update. AI chat • A round button over pages opens an AI chat from any browser tab. Drag it to an edge or a corner, and make it more see-through if you like. • When Sverk is in the background, the AI button can stay on screen over other apps. • Two Home screen widgets: the AI button, and a chat widget with your last conversation. • The button starts a new conversation, takes you back to the last one like a personal assistant, or opens your chat list. • Answers come from Google’s AI Mode. No account needed, and AI conversations stay out of your browsing history. Scam and phishing warnings • Before a phishing page that imitates a well-known site to get your password or a text-message code, Sverk shows a warning. • The same before scam sites on the warning lists of financial regulators — the Bank of Russia, Cyprus (CySEC), France (AMF) and the EU (ESMA): fake brokers, pyramid schemes, illegal lenders. • Sverk checks addresses against the lists here, on your phone: the address is sent nowhere. The lists update every day. Translate pages • A page translator is built into the browser: a page in another language is translated in place, so you stay on the site. • Sverk offers to translate by itself. Choose which languages to always or never translate in settings. News feed • Headlines and videos on the new tab — the international edition in English, or the Russian one. Tune topics and sources, and hide anything with one tap. • Save stories to bookmarks or to your watch list. • Turn the feed off, and it makes no requests at all. Video speed • When a video plays, a speed button appears next to the address: ×1.0, ×1.25 or ×1.5. The speed you pick stays for every video. Tabs and search • Swipe along the address bar to switch tabs. • The address bar goes at the top or the bottom. • Incognito tabs for private browsing: Sverk keeps no history, cookies or form data for them. • Pick your search engine at first launch: Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and others. • Make Sverk your default browser in one tap. • Passwords saved on this phone are filled in through Android autofill. Bookmarks (HTML) and passwords (CSV) come over from another browser’s export file. • Sites secured with Russian certificates, such as Russian banks, open in the browser without installing anything. The certificate is trusted only inside Sverk, and only for Russian domains (.ru, .su, .рф) and a few banks under .com. What leaves your phone • Questions to AI go to Google, like any search. • Page text goes to a translation service when you translate. • When you sign in to a site, the first five characters of the password’s hash go to Sverk’s server for a leak check. The password, login and site address never do. • Crash reports go to Sverk’s server. You can turn them off in settings. • Blocking and scam checks happen on your phone: the addresses you open are sent nowhere.
