About Arivna

A small team building an honest browser.

Arivna Browser is made by Nirvana Team™, a small software team in India. We build Android apps that are fast, private and open about how they work.

Mission

Fast, private, transparent.

Browsing on Android should be quick, should not follow you around, and should not ask you to take anything on trust.

We want Arivna to load pages without the ads and trackers that slow them down, to keep what you do on your phone, and to show its work: what it blocks, why, and what the app itself sends over the network.

Being honest starts with what Arivna is made of. Arivna does not have its own rendering engine. Web pages are drawn by the Android System WebView, the Chromium-based component that ships with Android and updates through Google Play. What we build is everything around it.

Built by Nirvana Team

  • The whole interface: tabs, search, menus, settings
  • Arivna Shield, the ad and tracker blocking engine, written in Rust
  • Downloads manager, request log, element picker

Built on the work of others

  • Android System WebView (Chromium) draws the pages
  • Filter lists from uBlock Origin, EasyList, AdGuard, Peter Lowe and URLhaus maintainers
  • Open-source libraries, credited in the source code

What makes Arivna different

Facts, not slogans.

Every number on this site says how it was measured. Here is what sets Arivna apart, as plainly as we can put it.

Its own blocking engine

Arivna Shield is native code written in Rust, compiled for each phone CPU and called through JNI. It reads the uBlock Origin and Adblock Plus filter syntax, including cosmetic rules, scriptlets and redirects, and blocks requests before they load.

99.995%
Same answer as uBlock Origin's own network engine on 83,631 test requests (desktop benchmark, same lists, method in bench/REPORT.md).
58ms
Engine ready from its binary cache on a real phone (release build).
0–2%
Janky frames while scrolling a news page on a real phone (release build).

It shows its work

A per-tab request log lists every request as allowed, blocked or redirected, with the filter that matched.

Nothing to collect

No ads, no account, no analytics, no telemetry. Free.

Open source, verifiable

The code is on GitHub, and every APK is published with its SHA-256 checksum.

Honest about limits

No extensions, sync, built-in translation or password manager yet, and Android only. The FAQ lists them.
