VeriSilo launches Chrome or Edge with a separate, managed data directory for every Silo. Cookies, storage, cache, service workers, permissions, and history stay in that environment—not in your default browser profile.

…/silos/{id}/browser-data…/silos/{id}/browser-data--user-data-dir=<managed path>✓THE ISOLATION PATH
A Silo is a browser-owned data directory plus the settings and evidence needed to explain how it was launched.
The desktop app records the Silo metadata, browser choice, and explicit network profile. Its encrypted vault protects VeriSilo metadata and seed material—not the browser’s entire profile.
Local vault · no cloud accountChrome or Edge receives a dedicated user-data directory through an argument-array launch. The existing default profile is never selected, copied, or modified.
Browser-owned state · separate pathThe optional Companion observes browser-context signals, explains capability limits, and creates local redacted reports. A Silo works without the extension.
Optional extension · evidence on demandTHE EVIDENCE MODEL
VeriSilo separates what it can control from what it can only observe—and what a normal browser launcher or extension cannot change at all.
Read the capability modelA control earns its state
Created and launched by the desktop core, with direct path and process evidence.
Useful observations with browser, page, timing, permission, and context limits kept visible.
Outside the honest boundary of a normal Chrome or Edge extension and launcher.
LOCAL BY DESIGN
The desktop app owns the boundary. Chrome or Edge owns the browser files. The Companion adds explanations and user-triggered checks without becoming the isolation mechanism.
Open the architecture notesCreates Silos, discovers browsers, launches safely, and keeps one active Silo in V0.1.
Cookies, LocalStorage, IndexedDB, cache, service workers, permissions, and history remain browser-owned.
Observes page context, verifies supported controls, and exports local redacted reports after confirmation.
Reports are not synced to a VeriSilo service. User-triggered network checks contact disclosed third-party endpoints and reveal the request IP to those providers.
THE HONEST BOUNDARY
Transparent limits are part of the product. Browser-state separation is useful without inventing claims the implementation cannot prove.
It does not turn one physical machine into a different device.
It is not built to evade account controls, restrictions, or site security.
It does not control TLS, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, QUIC, or every DNS path.
Page observations and best-effort settings always retain their limits.
