Keep browser statein a Silo of its own.

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.

THE ISOLATION PATH

One boundary, three explicit steps.

A Silo is a browser-owned data directory plus the settings and evidence needed to explain how it was launched.

  1. CREATE

    Define a Silo locally

    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 account
  2. LAUNCH

    Start a separate browser directory

    Chrome 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 path
  3. VERIFY

    Inspect what can be proven

    The optional Companion observes browser-context signals, explains capability limits, and creates local redacted reports. A Silo works without the extension.

THE EVIDENCE MODEL

“Protected” is a result, not a marketing adjective.

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 model

A control earns its state

  1. CONFIGURED
  2. APPLIED
  3. VERIFIED
Each state requires its own evidence. Reliable never means automatically verified.
RELIABLE

Separate browser data directory

Created and launched by the desktop core, with direct path and process evidence.

BEST EFFORT

WebRTC preference and page signals

Useful observations with browser, page, timing, permission, and context limits kept visible.

UNSUPPORTED

TLS, QUIC, hardware identity

Outside the honest boundary of a normal Chrome or Edge extension and launcher.

LOCAL BY DESIGN

The isolation core stays on your machine.

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 notes
CORE

Tauri desktop

Creates Silos, discovers browsers, launches safely, and keeps one active Silo in V0.1.

STATE

Browser data

Cookies, LocalStorage, IndexedDB, cache, service workers, permissions, and history remain browser-owned.

OPTIONAL

MV3 Companion

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

What VeriSilo refuses to pretend.

Transparent limits are part of the product. Browser-state separation is useful without inventing claims the implementation cannot prove.

No device impersonation

It does not turn one physical machine into a different device.

No fraud or policy bypass

It is not built to evade account controls, restrictions, or site security.

No network-stack rewrite

It does not control TLS, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, QUIC, or every DNS path.

No “undetectable” promise

Page observations and best-effort settings always retain their limits.
