📥 How To Get The Browser

• DOWNLOAD Click here to get the latest version of the browser

📦 Installation

1. Run:

   BubblesTheDev Web Browser_Installer_1.0.30.exe
   

2. Choose where you want to install the browser.

3. Finish setup and launch the browser.

The installer supports:

• default install locations
• custom install locations
• external HDD installs
• external SSD installs
• USB flash-drive installs

If you install the browser on an external drive instead of C:, install-linked browser data can automatically move to that external drive as part of setup.

Installed builds now use the automatic-update path when updates are enabled for the build.

🔄 Upgrading From An Older Version

If an older version is already installed and you are upgrading manually:

1. Close BubblesTheDev Web Browser.
2. Open Start > Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
3. Find BubblesTheDev Web Browser.
4. Click the ... menu and choose Uninstall.
5. Choose which local data categories should be removed or kept.
6. Run the new installer after uninstall finishes.

If you use the built-in update flow, the browser can still download and launch the newer installer for you.

🔁 Updates

Current installer builds no longer offer a Manual updates only setup mode.

Installed builds now use the automatic-update path when updates are enabled for the build.

Important notes:

• The browser does not update itself silently in the background.
• Managed updates still use a normal installer.
• Update downloads are checked before they are launched.
• Verified https: endpoints and a valid SHA-256 value are required before an update installer is launched.
• The app menu includes Check for Updates if you want to check manually.

🧹 Uninstall Behavior

The uninstaller removes the installed app files and can also remove local data by category.

Current uninstall choices include:

• browser profile data
  This includes history, bookmarks, homepage, permissions, and main browser-state data.
• saved passwords
• diagnostics reports
• local update preferences

If a category is left unchecked, that data stays on your device for a future reinstall or update.

Uninstall cleanup also:

• targets tracked custom install paths
• removes stale uninstall metadata and registry ghosts
• re-checks reported leftovers at the end to reduce false warning dialogs

If the browser was installed to an external drive, the main browser profile data can follow that external install location instead of staying on the system drive.

📁 Default Installation Path

If no custom path is selected, the default install location is typically:

C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Programs\BubblesTheDev Web Browser

🖥️ System Requirements

• Windows 11
• x64 architecture
• 4 GB RAM minimum
• around 300 MB free disk space

🔐 Privacy And Security

The browser is built with privacy and security in mind:

• 🔒 browsing protections are turned on by default
• 🚫 ads and trackers are filtered
• 📥 downloads get extra safety checks
• 🕶️ incognito uses a separate session
• 🔑 password save and reveal tools are limited to secure pages
• 🧩 imported extensions are treated carefully and risky ones show extra warnings
• 📡 no built-in telemetry endpoints are configured

🎵 Music Player

The Music Player is local-only and off by default.

• no music folder is scanned until the user explicitly agrees
• the user can scan the default Music folder or another local folder
• playback uses local files only

🧾 Diagnostics And Crash Reports

Users can export a diagnostics report from:

Tools > Export Diagnostics Report

Diagnostics are stored locally and are not transmitted automatically. Exported diagnostics reports are encrypted before being written to disk.

🔒 Privacy Notice

This application:

• does not collect personal data automatically
• does not send telemetry automatically
• does not include analytics services
• stores browser data locally on your device

If automatic updates are enabled in the build, the installer and browser can send a small amount of update-related information such as install ID, install path, version, platform, and last-seen time. This does not include your browsing history, bookmarks, saved passwords, page content, or diagnostics.

Saved-password capture and reveal behavior is limited to secure pages such as https: websites and local development hosts.

⚠️ SmartScreen Notice

This build is currently unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn before launch.
