CLIQZ
CLIQZ is a privacy-focused web browser and search engine developed as a community project from Germany. It emphasizes user anonymity and data protection by blocking trackers, preventing fingerprinting, and offering private search results without storing user behaviour or personal information. The browser includes built-in ad blocking, anti-phishing features, and a search bar that provides real-time instant search results without requiring a full page load. It targets privacy-conscious users who want an alternative to mainstream browsers like Chrome and Safari.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about CLIQZ's native Apple Silicon status from available search results, making it difficult to confirm whether an updated native build exists. Based on the bundle ID and public record, CLIQZ is a community-driven open-source project with limited mainstream distribution on macOS. Before relying on this browser long-term, contact the CLIQZ project directly through their official website or GitHub to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned or already available. This is important because Apple is removing Rosetta 2 from macOS 28 (September 2028), meaning an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release. If CLIQZ development has slowed or the project appears inactive, consider switching to a well-maintained privacy-focused browser with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, such as Firefox (Mozilla), Brave, or DuckDuckGo Search (for search privacy specifically), all of which are actively maintained and run natively on M-series Macs.
