Introducing Ameeba Pseudopod: The Disposable, Settingless Browser for True Privacy

Ameeba is proud to announce the launch of Pseudopod, a lightweight, anonymous browser now available for Windows and Linux.
Pseudopod is not another privacy mode, not a rebranded Chromium fork, and not a tweak to existing browsing models. It is a fundamentally different concept — a browser that remembers nothing, stores nothing, and tracks nothing.

It is a browser designed to dissolve traces of your digital presence the moment you close it, giving users a rare experience of true online anonymity.

What Is Pseudopod

Pseudopod is part of Ameeba’s privacy infrastructure, a suite of technologies built around the idea of anonymous authentication, encrypted communication, and user-controlled privacy.

Unlike traditional browsers that rely on complex configuration panels, stored profiles, and synced accounts, Pseudopod takes the opposite approach. It is settingless by design.

Ameeba Chat Icon Escape the Surveillance Era

Most apps won’t tell you the truth.
They’re part of the problem.

Phone numbers. Emails. Profiles. Logs.
It’s all fuel for surveillance.

Ameeba Chat gives you a way out.

  • • No phone number
  • • No email
  • • No personal info
  • • Anonymous aliases
  • • End-to-end encrypted

Chat without a trace.

That means:

  • No history
  • No cookies
  • No saved logins or autofill data
  • No local storage
  • No telemetry or analytics

Every time you launch Pseudopod, it opens as if it were just installed — clean, fast, and untouched by prior activity.

No accounts. No sync. No storage.
Every session starts fresh and ends clean.

Why “Settingless” Matters

Privacy in most browsers has become a configuration problem. Users must navigate menus, toggle advanced options, and install extensions to protect themselves — all while being told that privacy is “on by default.”

In reality, these browsers often store logs, collect telemetry, and build shadow profiles under the pretext of usability.
Even so-called private or incognito modes do not guarantee privacy; they merely delay or conceal it locally.

Pseudopod rejects this paradigm entirely.
It has no settings to leak, no preferences to sync, and no databases to expose.

When there are no persistent settings, there’s no attack surface.
When there’s no saved data, there’s nothing to exploit.
When there’s no history, there’s no identity to reconstruct.

This is not a convenience feature — it’s a security architecture.

How It Works

  1. Open Pseudopod from your desktop (Windows or Linux).
  2. Each tab operates in an isolated environment, detached from all other tabs and any system identity.
  3. There is no cross-tab tracking, no cookies shared, and no persistent memory.
  4. Once a tab is closed, the browser wipes its session, cache, and memory footprint automatically.

All network traffic passes through Ameeba’s privacy layer, which anonymizes connections and blocks trackers and fingerprinting scripts.

The result is an experience that feels instant, silent, and secure, allowing you to browse the web as if you were never there.

How Other Browsers Compare

It’s important to understand where existing browsers stand — and where they fall short.

Google Chrome

Chrome dominates global browser usage, but it is fundamentally built around data collection. Every search, tab, and login is connected to a unified Google identity. Even in Incognito Mode, DNS queries, IP addresses, and telemetry still persist.
Chrome is engineered for personalization, not anonymity.

Mozilla Firefox

Firefox has done commendable work in improving privacy, introducing enhanced tracking protection and container tabs. However, it still depends on persistent settings, user profiles, and add-ons to reach a privacy baseline.
Firefox remains a configurable browser, not a disposable one.

Brave Browser

Brave’s ad-blocking and privacy tools are strong, but its model still revolves around user accounts, crypto wallets, and behavioral token rewards. It protects data better than most, yet still incentivizes identity linkage.

Tor Browser

Tor is the closest relative philosophically to Pseudopod. It anonymizes network routes via relays and onion routing. However, it remains slow, heavy, and dependent on configuration. Tor’s anonymity comes with overhead and a complex UX that alienates casual users.

Pseudopod

Pseudopod’s distinction lies in simplicity.
There is no setup, no configuration, and no long-term memory. It launches instantly and disappears cleanly, leaving no residual footprint.
It delivers speed without surveillance, anonymity without complexity, and security without effort.

Where other browsers prioritize user retention, Pseudopod prioritizes user disappearance.

Why Pseudopod

  • Anonymous by default: No login, no accounts, no digital fingerprints
  • Settingless design: No preferences or profiles to store; each launch is a clean slate
  • Nothing is saved: No history, cookies, or local storage remain after exit
  • Protected by Ameeba’s privacy layer: All traffic is anonymized at the network level
  • Tracker and fingerprint blocking: Neutralizes web surveillance scripts and tracking beacons
  • Resource efficient: Launches instantly and uses minimal system memory
  • Disposable sessions: Close a tab and your footprint is erased

Pseudopod is not a fork of another browser and not a plugin-based privacy patch. It’s a purpose-built platform developed from the ground up with ephemerality as its core principle.

When nothing is stored, nothing can be stolen.

When To Use Pseudopod

Use Pseudopod whenever privacy matters — and especially when it’s uncertain who might be watching.

  • Explore without surveillance
  • Search without algorithmic bias
  • Research sensitive or controversial topics
  • Access websites without cookie walls or tracking scripts
  • Use public Wi-Fi safely without residual data

For cybersecurity researchers, privacy advocates, journalists, and anyone seeking control over their online identity, Pseudopod offers true digital invisibility.

Built on Ameeba’s Privacy Infrastructure

Pseudopod operates within Ameeba’s privacy ecosystem, which includes:

  • Ameeba Chat, a secure messaging platform with anonymous aliases
  • Ameeba Vault, encrypted cloud storage integrated directly into the chat
  • Ameeba Shield, a VPN and firewall for encrypted browsing
  • Ameeba Membrane, a reverse proxy and intrusion defense layer that routes all encrypted traffic

Each Ameeba product is designed to reinforce the others, forming a complete privacy stack for communication, storage, and browsing — all without identifying the user.

Available Now for Windows and Linux

Pseudopod’s MVP release supports Windows and Linux, with macOS support planned for a future version.
It is lightweight, portable, and can be run from any directory without installation.
