Cheetah Secure Browser (Chinese: 猎豹安全浏览器), also known as CM Browser, is a web browser developed by Jinshan Network. The browser is based on Chromium and supports both the WebKit and Trident browser engines. Jinshan Network claims that Cheetah Secure Browser is the first secure dual-engine browser with a "browser intrusion prevention system".[4]
On January 16, 2013, the release of version 3.0, the Cheetah browser changed its name to Cheetah Secure Browser.[5] On June 3, 2013, the Cheetah browser was released on Android and iOS.[6]
Controversies[edit]
Version 1 of Cheetah used version 17 of Chromium, which was much lower than the official version of Chromium. This prevented the use of the Chrome Web Store on Cheetah.[7][self-published source?]
On September 21, 2014, Jinshan was ordered to pay Youku ¥300,000 for violating Chinese competition laws by allowing the Cheetah Security Browser to filter video ads on Youku's website. In the preceding trial, Youku claimed to suffer an economic loss as a result of Cheetah's ad filtering, as the company earned revenue from ads and premium subscriptions that allowed users to skip ads. Jinshan stated that Cheetah's ad filtering feature was vendor-neutral and that users must opt-in to activate the feature.[8]
In November 2018, the Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee commissioned an evaluation of the application permissions of 18 popular mobile apps, including Cheetah Security Browser. The study found that Cheetah requested sensitive phone- and SMS-related permissions that allowed the browser to monitor the phone's outbound calls. A representative for Cheetah responded that the browser needed to determine whether a phone call is active in order to prevent interference when the browser is playing audio. The representative indicated that Cheetah would be updated to address the privacy concerns.[9][10]
