CCleaner Browser: Fast, Private and Security-First Browsing for Windows

CCleaner Browser from Piriform is a Windows-focused web browser built around privacy, speed and built-in security tools. Targeted at users who want a lightweight alternative to mainstream browsers, it combines ad blocking, anti-tracking and anti-fingerprinting with performance optimizations and utilities designed to protect personal data and reduce system load.

Performance and Resource Efficiency

The browser has been reworked to be lightweight and reduce memory usage—Piriform claims up to 50% less memory consumption through intelligent tab suspension and background process management. These optimizations can also extend laptop battery life by up to 20%. A Performance Manager in settings lets you control tab suspension and battery-saving behavior for longer unplugged browsing sessions.

Privacy Protections and Anti-Fingerprinting

CCleaner Browser emphasizes privacy with several built-in tools: anti-tracking to block third-party trackers, Anti-Fingerprinting (v2.2) to mask browser attributes, and a Stealth Mode that prevents browsing history from being stored while clearing tracking cookies and cache from that session. These features reduce cross-site tracking and help protect your digital footprint without needing multiple extensions.

Security Features for Safer Surfing

• Anti-Phishing and Malware Blocking — active defenses block malicious sites and downloads to help prevent infections and credential theft.
• Webcam Guard — prevents apps and malware from accessing your webcam without permission.
• Extension Guard — blocks unwanted add-ons and reduces risk from malicious extensions while allowing trusted installs.
• Forces HTTPS — upgrades connections where possible to encrypt traffic and protect data in transit.

Ad Blocking, Cleaner Tools and Convenience

Native ad blocking reduces page load times and removes intrusive ads for a cleaner experience. The integrated Privacy Cleaner clears browsing history, cache and cookies to free space and maintain privacy. A built-in password manager securely stores and autofills login details so users can balance convenience and security without third-party apps.

Features That Improve Everyday Browsing

• Blocks tracking scripts and hides identifying browser characteristics
• Stealth Mode for temporary private sessions with automatic cleanup
• Settings to tune adblock aggressiveness and tracker protections
• Performance Manager to limit CPU and RAM drain from background tabs
• Password Manager for secure sign-ins and autofill

Compatibility and System Requirements

CCleaner Browser is available for Windows 10 and 11. The installer highlights a lightweight footprint and easy setup—download and start browsing securely in a few clicks.

Who Should Use CCleaner Browser

Ideal for Windows users who prioritize privacy and want built-in tools rather than multiple extensions. It suits people looking to reduce ads and tracking, extend laptop battery life, and add extra protections like anti-phishing and webcam control without sacrificing speed.
