Step 0: Your PC should be running a 64 bit version of Windows.
Step 1: Download Canineum Browser.zip.
Step 2: Open the ZIP file and move the folder inside wherever you want it to be.
Step 3: The browser and all its files are inside this folder, feel free to create a desktop shortcut for it, for easier use.
Note1: This is a free browser, not selling your data or showing you extra ads. For that reason it can only support freely available audio and video codecs.
Tip1: This will get better as patents expire overtime.
Adblockers: Adblockers or other extensions are not supported yet, but you can use AdGuard DNS to block ads in all browsers on your PC.
