Citadel isn't just a browser engineโit's a declaration of digital human rights. We're built for those who understand that privacy is not a luxuryโit's a fundamental necessity.
In an era where users are treated as products and their data harvested without consent, we're taking a scorched-earth approach to browser privacy that makes surveillance capitalism weep.
Open-source. Uncompromising. Zero-tracking. Future-proof.
