Work moved to the browser years ago. But the browser never caught up. And neither did the idea that organizations should truly own the tools they depend on.
dME started with a simple frustration - and grew into a conviction about how enterprise software should work.
The blind spot that started everything
We spent years watching IT teams struggle with the same problem: they could manage devices, manage networks, manage identities - but they could not manage the browser. The one application that touches every SaaS tool, every AI prompt, every customer record, every piece of intellectual property in the company.
IT leaders could tell you which laptops were online and which users were logged into the VPN. But ask them what an employee just pasted into ChatGPT, or which unmanaged SaaS tools their team adopted last month, and the answer was always the same: "We do not know."
That gap is what led us to build dME. But as we went deeper, we realized the problem was bigger than visibility.
The deeper problem: you do not own your browser
When your entire workforce runs on Chrome, you are building your operations on infrastructure you do not control. Google decides what telemetry it collects. Google decides what APIs are available. Google decides when features change or disappear. Your IT team is a passenger, not the driver.
This is not just a browser problem. It is how most enterprise software works today. Your data lives on someone else's cloud, governed by someone else's terms, locked into someone else's roadmap. You get convenience in exchange for control.
We think that trade-off is wrong. And we built dME to prove there is a better way.
Our belief: sovereign ownership
At the core of dME is a belief that organizations should have sovereign ownership over their tools and their data. That means:
Freedom to deploy anywhere. dME is not locked to a single cloud. You can run it on AWS, Azure, GCP, or any hyperscaler. You can deploy on your own private cloud. And for organizations with the most demanding requirements - regulated industries, government, defense - you can run dME 100% on bare-metal infrastructure that you own and operate. No vendor dependency. No data leaving your perimeter unless you choose to send it.
Freedom to own your data. Every log, every policy event, every piece of telemetry that dME generates belongs to you. Not to us. We do not mine your data, we do not train models on it, and we do not hold it hostage. You choose where it is stored, how long it is retained, and who has access.
Freedom of choice. We do not believe in lock-in. dME integrates with whatever identity provider you use, whatever SIEM you run, whatever compliance tools you have chosen. We fit into your stack - we do not try to replace it. If a better tool comes along for any part of your infrastructure, you should be free to switch. Including switching away from us.
This is not a feature list. It is a philosophy. We believe that if your organization depends on a tool, you should be able to control every aspect of how that tool operates.
A browser built for how work actually happens
dME is not a security product bolted onto a browser. It is a browser built from the ground up for how work actually happens today - with the sovereignty principles baked into every decision.
- IT gets full visibility. See which web apps your team uses, how data moves between them, and which AI tools are in play. No proxies, no network taps - the browser sees it directly.
- Policies work at the browser level. Control copy/paste, downloads, uploads, and screen captures per app and per user group. Rules apply where the work happens.
- AI usage is governed, not blocked. Set rules for which AI tools are allowed, what data can be shared with them, and how prompts are handled. Enable AI adoption without losing control.
- Employees keep their workflow. dME is Chromium-based. It looks and feels like Chrome. Extensions, bookmarks, and habits carry over. No retraining needed.
You should not have to choose between productivity and oversight. Or between convenience and ownership. The right browser gives you all of it.
Why this matters now
The world is moving toward a place where AI tools process your most sensitive data, where SaaS applications hold your most critical workflows, and where the browser is the front door to everything. In that world, the question of who controls the browser is not a technical detail - it is a strategic decision.
Organizations that let someone else control their browser are betting that the interests of Google, Microsoft, or any other browser vendor will always align with their own. We think that is a risky bet.
We built dME for the organizations that want to make a different choice. The ones that believe their data, their infrastructure, and their tools should belong to them - fully, without compromise.
What drives us forward
We are just getting started. The work browser category is new, and we are defining what it looks like. Every week we ship features that make IT teams more effective and employees more productive.
The way we see it, every organization will eventually have two browsers - a personal browser for personal life and a work browser for business. Chrome is great for the weekend. dME is built for the workday.
If you believe in sovereign ownership and want a browser that respects it, we would love to hear from you.
