What Sailfish stores and where

Sailfish saves your windows, spaces and tabs in a file called State.json. Chromium, the engine Sailfish runs on, keeps its own data for each profile, such as history, cookies and site data, in a folder called Engine next to it.

Both live in ~/Library/Application Support/Browser on your Mac. The folder is named Browser for now, after the app's working name.

To remove everything Sailfish has stored, quit Sailfish and delete that folder.

No account

Sailfish has no accounts and nothing to sign up for. It has no sync feature, and it does not use iCloud.

No analytics, telemetry or crash reporting of our own

Sailfish's own code includes no analytics, telemetry or crash reporting, and it makes no network requests to us.

Chromium and Google

Sailfish runs on Chromium, and Google is the default search engine. What you search for goes to Google, and so may what you type in the address bar, which Chromium uses to fetch search suggestions.

Installing and updating extensions goes through the Chrome Web Store. Chromium also includes other built-in services that may contact Google. Sailfish does not currently turn these off.
