What NAVER Whale is

NAVER Whale is a Chromium-based browser for visiting websites and using intranet and internet services. It is free and available for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux, and as an extension. The download page specifies Windows 10 or later, macOS 12 or later, Android 8.0 or later, iOS/iPadOS 16.0 or later, and Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit or later. Built-in ad blocking and support for extensions are included. Whale Store offers extensions, and most Chrome extensions can be installed, though some that depend on Chrome-specific specifications may not work well. A sidebar can show services independently of the current page, including sidebar extensions and mobile pages. Whale can translate webpages and text in images, with translation suggestions or automatic application guided by language settings. Capture options include selecting an area, an element, a full page, or the screen, followed by editing with crop, mosaic, text, or shapes. Signing in syncs bookmarks, extension apps, visit history, and passwords across Whale Browser and Whalebook. Users can set a sync passphrase. Whale ON adds video meetings with chat, reactions, hand raising, virtual backgrounds, and screen sharing.
