Is wave browser safe?

At Wave, we know that security and privacy are top concerns when choosing a web browser. And we get it—there’s a lot of misinformation and confusion online about what different browsers do with your data.

That’s why we want to be fully transparent.

In this post, we’ll answer a question we often hear: “Is Wave Browser safe to use?” We’ll walk you through how we protect your privacy, what data we do (and don’t) collect, and how Wave is built to deliver a secure, productive, and respectful browsing experience. No fluff—just facts.

If you're using Wave or considering downloading it, here’s everything you need to know.

Is Wave Browser Safe?

The short answer is yes—Wave Browser is safe to use.

At Wave, we place the highest priority on user security and privacy. Our browser is built from the ground up to support a productive and secure digital experience, whether you're working, studying, or simply browsing.

Beyond security, Wave Browser is designed to streamline your workflow with a suite of built-in tools—including a PDF Annotator, Translation Tool, VPN, and Ad Blocker. These features eliminate the need for third-party extensions, which often come with security and performance risks. By keeping everything integrated and optimized, Wave not only boosts your productivity but also reduces potential vulnerabilities, creating a browsing experience that’s both efficient and secure.

Whether you're using Wave on desktop or mobile, your safety is always top of mind.

Built-In VPN for Private Browsing

Wave Browser includes a built-in VPN to help you browse securely and anonymously. It encrypts your internet connection, masks your IP address, and protects your activity from prying eyes—especially useful when using public Wi-Fi or accessing geo-restricted content.

Ad Blocker for a Cleaner, Safer Experience

No more pop-ups, trackers, or distracting banners. Wave’s integrated ad blocker keeps your browsing experience clean, fast, and distraction-free. It also helps protect against malicious ads (malvertising) that could compromise your device or privacy.

HTTPS Checker for Secure Site Access

Wave Browser includes an HTTPS checker that ensures the sites you visit are encrypted and secure. You’ll be automatically alerted when a page lacks proper security protocols—so you can make informed decisions before entering any personal information.

Built on Chromium—just like Chrome and Edge

Wave Browser is built on Chromium—the same open-source foundation that powers Google Chrome. This gives you a fast, secure, and reliable browsing experience right out of the box. It also ensures a smooth transition if you're switching from another browser, offering:

  • Easy import of your bookmarks, history, and settings
  • Familiar keyboard shortcuts and built-in tools like Chrome’s Task Manager
  • Broad compatibility with Chrome extensions, while reducing the need for them thanks to Wave’s own powerful built-in features

Whether you’re coming from Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or any other major browser, Wave feels instantly familiar—but with more focus on productivity, convenience, and privacy. It’s designed to help you do more, right from the sidebar—without clutter, distractions, or extra downloads.

Wave Browser's Monetization

Wave Browser's Monetization

It's completely natural for anyone wondering “Is Wave Browser safe?” to also be curious about how Wave is monetized. We’re happy to explain.

By default, Wave Browser uses Yahoo as its search engine, but users are free to change this at any time in the browser’s settings. You’re always in control of your search preferences.

Wave Browser is free to use, and its monetization comes primarily from sponsored search results and occasional ad clicks. Like many modern browsers, we may also partner with carefully selected providers—chosen for their ability to add genuine value to the browser experience. These partnerships help support the product without compromising your privacy.

Unlike many competitors, we do not—and will never—sell your personal data or share private user information with third parties. Your browsing habits are your business. Read more about our terms and policies.

Final Verdict: Is Wave Browser Safe?

Yes—Wave Browser is safe to use. It’s built on Chromium, the same trusted foundation as Google Chrome, and backed by a clear commitment to user privacy, security, and transparency. With features like a built-in VPN, ad blocker, HTTPS checker, and strict data protection standards, Wave is designed to give users a secure and productive browsing experience—without compromise.

We understand that trust is earned, not assumed. That’s why we’ve built Wave to be fast, customizable, and most importantly, respectful of your privacy. If you still have questions, we encourage you to reach out to our support team—we’re here to help.

Your browser should work for you, not against you. With Wave, it does.
