The detailed desktop features below apply to Windows. See Android features and requirements.
Tabs & windows01
Pin the pages you need, move tabs to the side, and give idle tabs a rest. Private windows keep browsing history, cookies, and cache in memory for the session.
Right-click any tab to duplicate it, pin it, mute it, close the others or close everything to its right. Closed a tab by mistake? Bring it straight back.
Move the tab strip to the side when you keep a lot of tabs open. Switch it on or off any time from Appearance & Workspace in Settings.
Background tabs you haven't touched for 30 minutes are put to sleep to free up memory. Click one and it reloads where you left it.
A private window keeps its cookies, cache and history in memory only. Close it and the session is gone.
Split view02
Read, compare and write side by side without juggling windows.
Pick a layout from the split menu or with a shortcut. Each pane is a full tab with its own address, history and zoom.
Passwords & autofill03
Sign-ins and addresses are saved on your PC, encrypted with your Windows account, and filled in for you.
XOV offers to save a password when you sign in and fills it next time. Passwords are encrypted with Windows DPAPI and never stored as plain text.
Save your addresses once, then pick one from the autofill popup when a form asks for it.
Run XOV Safety Check from Settings to find weak saved passwords and any protections you've switched off, then fix them in one click.
XOV Shield04
Ad and tracker blocking start on. Adjust your privacy preferences and website exceptions in XOV Shield. Certificate checks always stay active.
XOV blocks 40+ known tracking hosts, refuses third-party cookies and asks sites not to track or sell your data. Sites have to ask before using your camera, microphone, location or notifications, and XOV remembers your answer per site.
ILLUSTRATIVE SETTINGS
Video ad reduction is best effort. Filter rules refresh with application releases.
Downloads, history & bookmarks05
Your library pages live at xov:// addresses and open in a tab like any other page.
See progress, then pause, resume, cancel or open the file. Risky file types ask you to keep or discard them first, and you get a notification when a download finishes.
Search everything you've visited by title or address, and clear browsing data whenever you like.
Organise bookmarks in folders, and import or export them as an HTML file to move from another browser.
Search & page tools06
Search from the address bar with a keyword, and find every page tool in the menu.
Google is the default. Type a keyword and a space in the address bar to search somewhere else just once.
Open PDF and HTML files in a familiar browser window. Register XOV in Windows Open with and choose your preferred file defaults from Settings.
Set up XOV on WindowsSettings, your library and a few extras are pages you can type straight into the address bar. There's even a small arcade game for when you're offline.

XOV Browser for Android uses Android System WebView for websites, with a two-pane layout when you want two pages in view. Switch to desktop-site mode, save bookmarks, keep local browsing history, and download files to your device.
XOV Shield on Android uses a built-in list of known ad domains. Its filtering differs from the Windows EasyList implementation, and video ad reduction is best effort.
