Check the documentation to know more.

Note: On Windows, support for HTTP/2 requires Windows 10 or later. Support for HTTP/3 requires Linux or Windows 11 and later. HTTP/3 is still experimental.

HTTP/3 and privacy

HTTP/3 uses the QUIC transport protocol and there are some privacy concerns about it. It might not be a problem on internal network communications and for most business applications, though. There is an interesting article about it here.

Data protection policy

Pororoca does not sync user data, such as preferences, collections, environments, machine info or telemetry, to any remote server. User preferences and collections are saved as files in the user machine.
