Ulaa Browser by Zoho – A Comprehensive Overview

Introduction

Ulaa is a privacy-friendly web browser developed by Zoho Corporation, which is better known for its suite of business and productivity applications, such as Zoho CRM, Zoho Mail, and Zoho Books.

Ulaa translates to journey in the Tamil language, which signifies the browser’s intent to help you embark on a secure journey that is productivity-focused and user-privacy driven.

Zoho’s goal was to develop Ulaa built around user data protection, productivity optimization, and a seamless browsing experience — in particular for users, professionals, or enterprises concerned with digital privacy and tracking.

1. Privacy and Security – Core Philosophy

Ulaa avoids tracking and profiling of any kind as most mainstream browsers (like Chrome, Edge, or Safari) do to collect user data for advertising or analytics on behalf of their parent companies.

Some Key Privacy Features:

• No Collection User Data: Zoho states Ulaa never sells or shares user with third parties. Block trackers and ads: Ulaa blocks ads, website trackers, and data-miner scripts by default, ensuring faster page loads and greater privacy.

•  Secure Browsing: Enhanced protection against phishing, malware, and malicious sites. Session Isolation:

• Each browsing mode is isolated and independent of other modes, meaning cookies and cache are not shared between modes—this also helps prevent cross-site tracking.

• Ulaa’s approach to privacy is consistent with Zoho’s longstanding philosophy of “privacy by design.”

2. Multi-Mode Browsing – Designed for Every Need

Ulaa features a distinctive “Modes” option that allows users to have different environments to browse in. This creates privacy but also can assist with productivity and focus.

There are five modes:

Personal Mode:

• For regular browsing and logging into personal accounts (social media, shopping, etc.).

• Data and cookies are contained to this mode and do not interfere with work sessions.

Work Mode:

• Best for office or business related browsing.

• Integrates with Zoho — Zoho CRM, Mail, Projects, and Books.

• Keeps your work data separate from personal browsing sessions, improving organization and security.

Developer Mode:

• Includes built-in developer tools that easily allow for testing or debugging websites.

• Allows developers to simulate environments and inspect code easily.

Kids Mode:

• Safety for children — includes content filtering and parental controls.

• To allow children to enjoy the best experience possible, we will be able to block content considered inappropriate.

Open Season Mode: 

• A flexible browsing mode that has no privacy restrictions, used primarily to test or access sites that require tracking to be fully enabled.

• Each mode has its own cookies, cache, and preferences which creates true browsing compartmentalization — something most browsers do not do.

3. Productivity and Built-In Tools

Zoho created Ulaa not only as a safe browser but also as a means for productivity. It has a lot of helpful tools built-in to the browser interface.

Tools for Productivity Include: 

• Tab Management: Group, pin, and organize tabs to your liking.

• Notes: Built-in note taking sidebar for easy jotting without leaving the page.

• Screen Capture: Screenshot full pages or sections directly.

• Reading Mode: Removes ads and distractions from articles for a clean reading experience.

• Smart Dashboard: Displays recent sites, apps, and usage statistics for better control.

• All of the tools are built for reducing your dependency on extensions or third-party apps – increasing speed and lowering vulnerabilities.

4. Sync and Zoho Integration

• If you are a user with a Zoho account, Ulaa provides seamless integration and synchronization within the user’s cloud.

Integration Highlights: 

• Single Sign-On (SSO): Log in once to access all Zoho applications.

• Cloud Sync: Securely sync your bookmarks, settings, browsing history, and passwords across devices.

• Deep Integration with Zoho Ecosystem:

Works efficiently with Zoho Mail, CRM, Projects, Books, and other productivity tools.

Perfect for users already in the Zoho environment.

Unlike Chrome or Edge sync, Ulaa’s sync data is end-to-end encrypted and stored on Zoho’s servers — not shared with advertisers.

5. Technology and Compatibility

Ulaa is constructed on Chromium, which is the same open-source framework that powers both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

Technical Advantages: 

• Chrome Extension Support: Nearly every Chrome extension is supported on Ulaa.

Performance: Page loads are quick, scrolling is seamless, and resource management is done well.

Cross-Platform: Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, which means you’ll have a consistent experience no matter the device.

All of this, combined with Chromium’s support and Zoho’s privacy-first approach, provides a familiar yet secure experience.

6. Why Choose Ulaa Over Other Browsers

Here’s why many users — especially privacy-conscious professionals and organizations — are switching to Ulaa:
