The Fortress Browser
A custom-built Android browser that strips the internet down to its bare essentials. It is not a filter; it is a fortress. By removing visual triggers by default, we break the cycle that leads to compulsive use.
- Blocks all images, videos, and pop-ups by default.
- AI Sentry scans and approves necessary visuals, keeping you safe.
- Designed to be sterile and unengaging, giving you no hooks to latch onto.
Keep the apps you need, remove the ones that drag you down.
In this day and age, we need our phones for work, and just to get around. But that doesn't mean you should have a portal in your pocket which takes you places you don't want to go.
Dopamine
Stop spiking your dopamine with fun or sexy videos and images, and regain control over your life and your mind.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in the brain's reward system. It's responsible for feelings of pleasure and satisfaction, but it can also lead to addiction and compulsive behavior when overstimulated by things like social media, porn, or other addictive content. By reducing exposure to these stimuli, you can help your brain reset its reward system and regain control over your impulses.
Time
Stop selling your time to advertisers and companies at a discount rate.
You are trading your valuable time for fleeting pleasure, that you don't even enjoy anymore. A phone without distracting apps and without a free-for-all browser, is a phone that you can use to get things done, and to enjoy the things that matter to you.
Self Control
It's impossible to have self control all of the time. Stop fighting - just remove the temptation.
Self-control is the ability to regulate your emotions, thoughts, and behavior in the face of temptations and impulses. It's a skill that can be developed over time, but it's much easier when you remove the sources of temptation from your environment. By using tools like our custom browser and phone app remover, you can create a space that supports your goals and helps you build better habits.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your question isn’t answered here, reach out. We’re on the front line with you.
Why have other blockers failed to stop my compulsive use?
Because they only treat the symptom, not the cause. Whether it's endless scrolling, clickbait, or the constant pull of porn, the core problem is the visual trigger-reward loop. Most blockers just use a URL list; we attack the problem at its source by neutralizing the visual feed.
How does Dopamine Defender actually work?
Our browser aggressively blocks or strips out all addictive visual media—images and videos—by default. Instead of a tempting thumbnail, you see a blank space. This breaks the cycle before it begins, removing the dopamine trigger that leads to hours of lost time.
What if I need to see an important image for work or school?
This is our key feature. Our intelligent AI filter analyzes images for context, safety, and relevance. It allows essential visuals, like product images on a shopping site or diagrams in an article, to pass through while keeping the distracting and harmful content blocked. You get the information, not the addiction.
How does this help with porn addiction specifically?
By surgically removing the primary trigger: visual stimulation. Pornography addiction is fueled by a constant stream of novel images and videos. By blocking these elements site-wide, Dopamine Defender creates a sterile, unengaging environment, giving your brain the space it needs to break the habit.
Can I really remove the browser and Play Store from my Android?
Yes. For those who require a true lockdown, our companion tool for Android allows you to remove core system apps, including the portals that lead to relapse. It’s the ultimate commitment device for people who are serious about taking back control.
Is this just for people with severe addiction?
It was built for the toughest cases, which makes it incredibly effective for everyone. Whether you want to stop a severe habit or simply reclaim hours of your day from social media, our tool provides the industrial-strength defense that other "wellness" apps lack.
What about necessary videos, like tutorials or work calls?
Our system is configurable. You can whitelist specific trusted domains (like YouTube, Vimeo, or internal company portals) to allow them to function normally. The power remains in your hands, but our default is "secure" to protect you from accidental exposure.
Can I still use social media for messaging?
Yes. You can use services like Facebook Messenger or Twitter DMs without being drawn into the infinite visual feed. The core text-based functionality remains, allowing you to connect with people without falling into the content trap.
Who are the people behind Dopamine Defender?
We are Draco Zhang, Elijah, and Daniel De Calmer. We are builders who were tired of the empty promises of "digital wellness." We aren’t life coaches; we are engineers creating the weapons we wished we had for ourselves in the fight for focus.
