# Sleipnir Shields

Default protection. On every web page you visit.

## Protection against online tracking

Sleipnir Shields block the stuff that follows you online, across every page you visit. Trackers. Cross-site cookies. Phishing. Fingerprinting. And more.

## Default protection, no set up required

Shields mean out-of-the-box protection. No extra downloads, no settings to configure. Just download Sleipnir, and start browsing. Privately. Securely.

## Privacy you can control

By default, Sleipnir Shields are on for every site you visit. See a site that looks broken? You can easily

turn Shields on / off. No more toggling between browsers.
