Bavarium is a custom, Chromium-based browser made using Electron available for Windows and macOS that has been designed to allow people to visit websites without any restrictions, as if they were going to the site normally.
Bavarium uses leading proxy technologies such as Ultraviolet and Scramjet to get past website blocking programs. Ultraviolet prioritizes reliablility whilst Scramjet prioritizes speed. All proxies are locally hosted, so you won't have to rely on other websites to keep you connected.
- Locally hosted proxy support powered by Ultraviolet and Scramjet
- Custom transport methods, such as epoxy and libcurl for maximum compatibility
- WSS support
- View and manage your browser history and data
- Manage downloads made from the browser
- Support for inspect element and view page source using Chromium DevTools
- Incognito tabs that don't save data and history
- Bookmarks
- Proper autofilling tab name and URL support, ensuring you are never lost
- Native OS share sheet support
- Copy URLs as their proxied URLs and directly load
localhostproxied URLs and get a normal URL back - Memory and CPU limiters on tabs (disabled by default), ensuring you never run into performance issues while browsing
- Hardware acceleration
- Page preloading
- Support for Metal (macOS only), DirectX (Windows only), Vulkan, OpenGL, and software rendering, ensuring maximum compatibility and performance no matter what you're using
- Developer options and performance graph for those who want to optimize or develop for Bavarium (View Enabling Developer Mode)
Bavarium has been designed to be able to be usable, even on systems where performance may be limited with our memory and CPU limiter settings, and also since Bavarium has been optimized to be efficient while still giving you the control and usability of a normal browser.
Bavarium is faster than nearly all web proxies as everything is handled locally, meaning you're not relying on external servers or VPN services to stay connected. You are always in the loop.
Bavarium is much more reliable than your standard web proxy as you don't have to worry about the page getting blocked or general website unreliabilty, Bavarium is streamlined on all devices, the only possible negative factors are your network and the system.
Bavarium gives you much more control over the sites you visit, allowing you to give or deny permissions and delete data at the click of a button, and also give you an incognito mode which automatically deletes history, download data, and permissions once the tab is closed.
macOS requires at least macOS 13 or newer with ARM64.
Windows requires at least Windows 10 or newer with x86 or x64. Bavarium is built on Electron 41 (Chromium 146). It runs local proxy servers and one Chromium process per tab, so treat these specs like a lightweight Chromium browser plus a small local server—not a tiny utility app.
Bavarium needs at least 1 GB of RAM and 500 MB of storage to run properly.

Regardless of your proxy preference, long-form YouTube video playback is unfortunately broken and doesn't seem to be fixable, it is simply a limitation of proxy services such as Ultraviolet and Scramjet. YouTube Shorts should work most of the time, they might just take a minute to load when you first visit them. Due to how the browser loads sites and how YouTube handles video URLs, each scroll refreshes the page as the browser thinks it is on a new page. Sometimes the page will load a black rectangle with no video. Things like search, channels, and others should work fine. Long-form videos break after about a minute with the message "Something went wrong, refresh or try again later." Other video services should work fine, I am just putting this message here as I know that this will be the most asked question as most people will try to access this site.
Caution
You must use Scramjet when visiting YouTube, or the website will be broken and unusable.
