About Rabbit Labs
Rabbit Labs is independent, funded by nobody, and it makes free browser extensions that take the junk out of the web.
Our story
Rabbit Labs started with a complaint, not a business plan. Every page we opened came with a queue of trackers, a cookie banner, and a video that started playing on its own. The tools meant to fix it wanted a subscription, or an account, or both.
So we wrote our own ad blocker. It took a while, because a half-working blocker is worse than none at all. It is on the Chrome Web Store now, free, with no account and no paid tier waiting behind it.
Rabbit Smart Tab came out of the same annoyance, pointed at a different problem: sixty open tabs and no idea what any of them are. It is on the store too, and the same rules apply to it. Free, no account, nothing leaves your machine.
The point
Most of the good privacy tools sit behind a monthly fee. That pricing decides who gets a clean browser and who doesn’t, which seems like the wrong way round. Ours are free.
Nothing we ship is minified or obfuscated. If our extension does something you didn't expect, unpack what your browser installed and check rather than take our word for it.
Plenty of free tools are free because you're the product. We'd rather keep these small than pay for them that way.
We don't have a launch date to hit. Things ship when they work properly, which is slower and we're fine with that.
Nobody's waiting on a return, so nobody's going to ask us to start collecting data later on.
The team
One person, for now. Rabbit Labs gets built around everything else going on, which is part of why it moves at the pace it does.
Founder
Decides what the tools do, designs them, and writes the code, including the unglamorous work of making sure an extension that touches every page you visit behaves itself.
Get involved
A message telling us something is broken is always welcome, and so is one telling us what to build next. The inbox is open and a person reads it.
