Zoho launches privacy-centered browser Ulaa to compete with Google, Apple and Microsoft
The IT giant Zoho Corporation, with its headquarters in Chennai, on Thursday unveiled Ulaa, a privacy-focused browser designed to compete with market leaders like Microsoft, Google, and Apple. Ulaa is a Tamil word that signifies “journey” or “voyage.” The browser is designed with features that automatically and universally disable tracking and website surveillance. It is specifically created to protect personal data. Ulaa takes Zoho’s dedication to privacy one step further.
The browser has functions that enable privacy customization, include user profile modes, and incorporate productivity tools while maintaining the security and privacy of user data. According to a press release, users can also sync browsing sessions between devices, allowing them to use various devices for the same browsing session without any problems. This can be done for either a whole browser window or a single tab.
According to Sridhar Vembu, CEO and co-founder of Zoho Corporation, users of Ulaa don’t have to give up their privacy in order to browse the web, which has unluckily turned into a surveillance wasteland. According to him, Zoho is able to provide a conflict-free, privacy-centric browser to those who respect their own privacy and the privacy of their children because of its commitment to privacy and privacy-centric business strategy.
India had more than 700 million active internet users as of December 2022, and by 2025, that number is anticipated to rise to 900 million. The number of internet users and the threat vectors to their privacy will both grow. Ulaa shields users from tracking and observation as a result. Everyone can use the desktop version of Ulaa for free. Currently in beta and ready for download, the iOS and Android versions,the release said.
Zoho also announced execution plans and ongoing investment in Artificial Intelligence. Beginning with the launch of 13 generative AI Zoho application extensions and integrations, powered by ChatGPT. With internally developed software running on the business’ own cloud, Zoho has been executing and deploying AI (Zia) across its product portfolio for more than ten years.
According to Ramprakash Ramamoorthy, Director – AI Research, Zoho Corporation, “the fusion of ChatGPT’s generative AI with our homegrown AI features will provide users with a more intuitive, efficient, and secure experience, reflecting Zoho’s deep R&D-first culture.”
