About

You open a page to read one article and get a cookie banner, a video that starts on its own, and a prompt to sign in. Nook shows the article. Ads and trackers are blocked from the first page you open, reader mode keeps the text and pictures, and focus mode hides the tabs and toolbar. Cookies and cache are cleared when you quit. No account, no sync, no telemetry. macOS 13+, Apple silicon and Intel. Free.

AI Summary

Nook is a privacy-focused browser for Mac that blocks ads and trackers, displaying only the article content. It operates without accounts or telemetry, clearing cookies and cache upon quitting, and is compatible with macOS 13+ on both Apple silicon and Intel.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
