Snipe is a privacy-first web browser built on Ungoogled Chromium 140, stripped of every Google
service that tracks you: no telemetry, no crash reporters, no update daemons, no AI. uBlock Origin
is compiled into the core and active from the first page load, Ruffle brings Flash/SWF content back
natively, and a local-only password manager keeps credentials off the cloud. It idles around 23 MB
of RAM and ships builds from Windows XP through 11. Freeware - no forced updates, no forced accounts.
