Kuniao Browser (Chinese: 酷鸟浏览器) is a web browser developed by Beijing Jutianneng Culture Media Co, Ltd. It allowed users within mainland China to view filtered versions of certain websites normally blocked by the Great Firewall.[1][2]

It could also search for Tiananmen, Xi Jinping, and other searches that had been blocked, with the only legal search websites being Xinhuanet and China Daily websites. on November 15, 2019, the browser was blocked by the government from accessing websites.[2][3]
