What it is

Temple Browser is a free browser for Android and Windows, with extensions also listed as a platform. Its free tier includes the full browser and every feature, at free. It blocks ads, trackers, analytics, pop-ups, pop-unders, and YouTube ads, and provides VPN and Tor routing for individual tabs while others use a normal connection. Bookmarks, history, and logins can sync between phone and desktop without an account. Users can import bookmarks and cookies from Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and other Chromium browsers, and mirror a tab or full screen to a smart TV or Chromecast. Download cards show SHA-256 hashes for file checks. Temple has no extensions or add-on store because its features are built in. Windows runs on the Microsoft Edge WebView2 engine included with the system. Android is distributed as a direct APK rather than through Google Play, and the unsigned Windows installer may trigger a SmartScreen warning. Temple is maintained by a solo developer, who accepts bug reports, feedback, requests, and business inquiries by email.
