Haven – Banking needs a safer browser
My team and I built Haven. It is a stripped down browser that only connects to verified financial institutions and blocks everything else. No extensions, no injected scripts, no overlays, no random third party code. It is not a general browser, it is just a controlled environment for banking and investing. Why? I have spent years building browser extensions and know exactly how much power they have. The extension model is useful, but the security model is too loose and a single malicious install can see everything, rewrite everything, and mislead a user without leaving a trace. My dad…
In plain words
Haven is a specialized browser designed exclusively for banking and investing activities. It connects only to verified financial institutions while blocking all other content, extensions, injected scripts, overlays, and third-party code. Built by a team with extensive browser extension experience, Haven provides a controlled, isolated environment for financial transactions, eliminating risks from malicious extensions and unauthorized code that could compromise banking security or mislead users.

In the maker’s words, at launch
My team and I built Haven. It is a stripped down browser that only connects to verified financial institutions and blocks everything else. No extensions, no injected scripts, no overlays, no random third party code. It is not a general browser, it is just a controlled environment for banking and investing. Why? I have spent years building browser extensions and know exactly how much power they have. The extension model is useful, but the security model is too loose and a single malicious install can see everything, rewrite everything, and mislead a user without leaving a trace. My dad learned that the hard way after installing a fake Zoom extension and then losing money from his banking account. In addition to my dad’s story, the number of people adding AI into their current browsers or using AI native browsers is growing and offers amazing capabilities, but the risks are growing exponentially. I wanted to build a way for him and for anyone, from sophisticated users to normal users, to bank safely. It is currently free for consumers as we learn how people use it and determine a future revenue model for providing secure sessions. At our core we believe in privacy, which is the reason we are building this product. We are funded by trusted and established investors including Google Ventures, Valley Capital Partners, and others. If you want to try it the app is at https://starthaven.com. Looking for people to test this out, get product feedback and feature requests!

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
