Privacy Browser v3.19.3

About this app

Developer Description

A web browser that respects your privacy.

The only way to prevent data from being abused is to prevent it from being collected in the first place. Privacy Browser has two primary goals.

1. Minimize the data that is sent to the internet.

2. Minimize the data that is stored on the device.

Most browsers silently give websites massive amounts of information that allows them to track you and compromise your privacy. Websites and ad networks use technologies like JavaScript, cookies, DOM storage, user agents, and many other things to uniquely identify each user and track them between visits and across the web.

In contrast, privacy sensitive features are disabled by default in Privacy Browser. If one of these technologies is required for a website to function correctly, the user may choose to turn it on for just that visit. Or, they can use domain settings to automatically turn on certain features when entering a specific website and turn them off again when leaving.

Privacy Browser currently uses Android’s built-in WebView to render web pages. As such, it works best when the latest version of WebView is installed (see https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser/common-settings/webview/). In the 4.x series, Privacy Browser will switch to a forked version of Android’s WebView called Privacy WebView that will allow for advanced privacy features.

Features:
• Integrated EasyList ad blocking.
• Tor Orbot proxy support.
• SSL certificate pinning.
• Import/export of settings and bookmarks.

What's New

• Fix a crash on certain devices when using the bottom app bar.
• Fix the navigation drawer scroll position on Android <= 14 (API <= 34).

Privacy Browser users say on Google Play

★★★★★

Sergey Khorev

Privacy is not only about giving users right tools for the job but also about educating them. I am impressed how user-friendly a security app might be. Included guide is a worthwhile reading by itself, with even more background available on Mr.Stoutner's web site.

★★★★

Mr. T

Not too bad. Still unsure on user agent and if it really matters though. The block list is crazy sweet. UI could use some dressing up, coloring and smoothing for the future.

Useless Now. Ever since Orbot's most recent update Privacy Browser can't connect. Developers please collaborate with Tor developers. Fix this. No real privacy anymore. When its fixed I'll update this review and apply 5 stars. Specifics: its now 6/17/18 I'm using a ZTE ZMax Pro Z981 with 59gigs of storage space.
