What it does
Herond combines ad and tracker blocking with a built-in wallet, synchronization and controls for site permissions and diagnostic data.
Herond puts its Shield filtering and wallet into the browser alongside ordinary tab management. Its privacy policy is the useful companion to that feature list: synchronization uses an email-based account, websites request camera or microphone access, and permission can be revoked through browser or device settings.
The September 2026 policy also documents product analytics and a daily usage ping, with switches to disable them. Wallet requests can involve third-party blockchain services and, for some routes, Herond infrastructure. Review the sync, analytics and wallet choices separately before assuming that built-in filtering keeps every optional service local.
The current wallet is self-custodial: Herond says keys and recovery phrases are generated and kept locally, and it cannot reset or recover them. Back up those credentials separately from the browser account. Its September 2026 policy discontinues the earlier keyless wallet, swap, bridge and fiat-ramp features. Account deletion is also irreversible; the policy gives a fourteen-day handling period and advises backing up important data first.
