Core offering

Puma Browser is a mobile web browser for iOS and Android that integrates on-device AI chat using local LLMs (Llama 3.2, Ministral, Gemma, Qwen), cloud AI summarization through OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini APIs, and native access to Web3 protocols including ENS and IPFS websites. The product is positioned as privacy-first, with no data collection and no ads, and has crossed 900,000 downloads.

Product overview

Puma Browser is a single, unified mobile web browser product with built-in AI capabilities. The product offers two complementary AI interaction modes: (1) Local LLM chat using on-device models (Llama 3.2, Ministral, Gemma, Qwen) for privacy-preserving, offline conversations, and (2) Cloud AI summarization and chat via OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini APIs for enhanced web content interaction. Additionally, Puma Browser provides access to Web3 ecosystems through native ENS and IPFS website support, positioning it as a mobile browser for the Web3 ecosystem. The company has reached 900,000 downloads and continues to grow.

Direct peers

• Brave: Privacy-focused web browser with built-in crypto wallet (BAT) and Web3 features. Directly comparable to Puma on privacy positioning, ad-free model, crypto wallet integration, and target audience of privacy- and Web3-conscious users.
• Opera: Multi-platform browser with built-in crypto wallet (Opera Crypto Browser) and Web3 support. Directly comparable to Puma on Web3 native features, integrated wallet, and cross-platform mobile browser positioning.
• DuckDuckGo: Privacy-focused browser and search product that competes directly with Puma on no-tracking, ad-free, privacy-first browsing. Comparable in target audience but does not currently focus on Web3 or local AI.
• Status: Mobile-first Web3 browser and messenger with integrated crypto wallet and ENS/IPFS support. Directly comparable to Puma on mobile Web3 browser positioning, wallet integration, and decentralized web protocol support.
• Aloha Browser: Privacy-focused mobile browser with built-in VPN and crypto wallet. Directly comparable to Puma on mobile-only privacy-first positioning and integrated Web3 wallet functionality.

Broad incumbents

• Mozilla Firefox: Established open-source browser with strong privacy positioning and a much broader user base than Puma. Comparable on privacy-first values and on having a former Mozilla director (Jeff Griffiths) advising Puma, but Firefox is a broad incumbent with significantly more resources.
• Samsung Internet: Default mobile browser on Samsung Galaxy devices with privacy and content-blocking features. Comparable to Puma as a mobile browser alternative, though Samsung Internet is a broad incumbent with platform-distribution advantages Puma does not have.
• Microsoft Edge: Mass-market browser from Microsoft with integrated AI (Copilot), privacy modes, and crypto-adjacent features. Comparable to Puma as a competitor for the same mobile browser slot, but Edge is a broad incumbent with vastly more distribution and resources.

Emerging players

• The Browser Company (Arc): Emerging consumer browser brand focused on AI-powered browsing and innovative UX. Comparable to Puma on AI-forward consumer-browser positioning, though Arc currently focuses on desktop and does not emphasize Web3 or local LLM execution.
• Beaker Browser: Open-source experimental browser for the peer-to-peer Web (built on the Dat protocol). Comparable to Puma on decentralized-web focus, though it is primarily desktop and uses a different P2P stack than ENS/IPFS.
