What is Blanc Browser?
Blanc Browser is a desktop web browser designed for people who want a streamlined browsing experience with privacy-focused basics built in. It provides tabbed web browsing in a minimal interface and includes integrated ad and tracker blocking, so users can browse common websites with less clutter and fewer third-party requests. The browser also supports private tabs for sessions you do not want added to normal history, along with standard browser features such as bookmarks, downloads, and history. Blanc Browser can import browsing data from several other browsers, which makes it easier to switch without starting from scratch. It is available for macOS and is also released for Windows and Linux. The app is published by Anthony Loria.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Blanc Browser is a legitimate web browser, so normal browser privacy considerations apply. It can access websites you visit, cookies, downloads, saved browsing data, and any information you choose to enter into web pages. Its built-in blocking features are consistent with its purpose, and removing the app may also remove access to its saved browser data unless you back it up first. Use it as you would any browser: keep it updated, review what you save in the browser, and only sign in to sites you trust.
Recommendation: Keep Blanc Browser if you use it as one of your regular browsers or rely on its privacy and import features. If you do not use it, you can remove it like other third-party apps, but export or back up any bookmarks, downloads, or saved browsing information you want to keep first.
