Puffin Secure Browser for Mac
Mac UtilitiesPuffin Secure Browser takes a different route from a normal Mac browser. Pages are loaded on CloudMosa servers and the result is streamed to the app on your Mac, so the heavy work happens away from your machine. It suits people with an older Mac, and anyone who likes the extra layer remote browsing puts between websites and their computer.
Key Features
- Remote rendering, where company servers load pages and stream them to your Mac
- Encrypted traffic between the app and the Puffin servers while you browse
- Isolation, since page code runs on the server rather than on your machine
- Light demands on your Mac, which helps older hardware feel responsive
- Desktop style controls with mouse and keyboard support for web apps and games
How to Download
- Download from the official site and choose the desktop option for Mac.
- Open the downloaded file and follow the install steps shown on screen.
- Launch the browser and complete any account or plan steps the app presents.
System Requirements
Because pages load on remote servers, a steady internet connection matters more than power on your Mac. Check your macOS release in About This Mac before installing.
FAQs
How is Puffin different from Safari or Chrome?
Those browsers load and run pages on your Mac. Puffin loads pages on CloudMosa servers and sends the display to you.
Is Puffin Secure Browser free?
CloudMosa has sold the desktop version with a subscription after trial periods in the past. Check the current terms on the official site before you commit to a plan.
Does Puffin work without an internet connection?
No. The browser depends on its servers to load every page, so it cannot browse at all while your Mac is offline.
