| 14 | +cobalt helps you save anything from your favorite websites: video, audio, photos |
| 15 | +or gifs. just paste the link and you're ready to rock! |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +no ads, trackers, paywalls, or other nonsense. just a convenient web app that |
| 18 | +works anywhere, whenever you need it. |

| 27 | +cobalt was created for public benefit, to protect people from ads and malware |
| 28 | +pushed by its alternatives. we believe that the best software is safe, open, and |
| 29 | +accessible. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +it's possible to keep the main instances up thanks to our long-standing |
| 32 | +infrastructure partner, [royalehosting.net]({partners.royalehosting})! |

| 41 | +all requests to the backend are anonymous and all information about tunnels is |
| 42 | +encrypted. we have a strict zero log policy and don't track *anything* about |
| 43 | +individual people. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +when a request needs additional processing, cobalt processes files on-the-fly. |
| 46 | +it's done by tunneling processed parts directly to the client, without ever |
| 47 | +saving anything to disk. for example, this method is used when the source |
| 48 | +service provides video and audio channels as separate files. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +additionally, you can [enable forced tunneling](/settings/privacy#tunnel) to |
| 51 | +protect your privacy. when enabled, cobalt will tunnel all downloaded files. no |
| 52 | +one will know where you download something from, even your network provider. all |
| 53 | +they'll see is that you're using a cobalt instance. |

| 62 | +cobalt is used by countless artists, educators, and content creators to do what |
| 63 | +they love. we're always on the line with our community and work together to make |
| 64 | +cobalt even more useful. feel free to [join the conversation](/about/community)! |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +we believe that the future of the internet is open, which is why cobalt is |
| 67 | +[source first](https://sourcefirst.com/) and [easily |
| 68 | +self-hostable]({docs.instanceHosting}). |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +if your friend hosts a processing instance, just ask them for a domain and [add |
| 71 | +it in instance settings](/settings/instances#community). |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +you can check the source code and contribute [on github]({contacts.github}) at |
| 74 | +any time. we welcome all contributions and suggestions! |

| 83 | +newest features, such as [remuxing](/remux), work locally on your device. |
| 84 | +on-device processing is efficient and never sends anything over the internet. it |
| 85 | +perfectly aligns with our future goal of moving as much processing as possible |
| 86 | +to the client. |
