Privacy Browser

Privacy Browser is a standout browsing utility designed to help you quickly search the web for useful information and get answers on demand—anytime, anywhere. It’s a lightweight yet capable browser that’s built with privacy in mind. Along with reliable search functionality, it helps guard against unauthorized access to your personal data. You also get strong ad blocking and proxy tools, plus practical bookmarking and import/export options to make browsing faster, smarter, and more convenient.

Key Functions

Privacy Browser is an open-source Android web browser focused on protecting user privacy, released under the GPLv3+ license. The most effective way to prevent data abuse is simple: stop collecting data in the first place.

For now, the app uses Android’s built-in WebView to display web pages. To get the best experience, it works best when you have the latest WebView version installed. In future updates, the browser will move to a custom fork called Privacy WebView, which includes more advanced privacy controls.

Privacy-Focused Features

The core idea is to reduce risk by addressing two areas:

• Send less data to the internet.
• Store less data on your device.

Many browsers unknowingly give websites more information than you expect, allowing tracking and reducing your privacy. Sites and ad networks can identify users and follow activity across different pages and the wider network using technologies like JavaScript, cookies, DOM storage, and user agents.

In contrast, Privacy Browser disables privacy-sensitive features by default. If a website truly needs those technologies to work properly, you can enable them only for the current visit. You can also use domain-based settings to turn certain features on automatically for specific sites—and turn them off again when you leave.

Notable Highlights

• Integrated EasyList ad blocking
• Tor Orbot proxy support



• SSL certificate pinning
• Import/export settings and bookmarks

Strong Performance & Protection

Privacy Browser helps protect you by blocking tracking-related features websites commonly use—such as JavaScript, DOM storage, and cookies. You can fine-tune these options per domain and enable them whenever you actually need them.

It also includes the EasyList block list, which can block many tracking mechanisms even when JavaScript is turned on.

As mentioned earlier, the app currently relies on Android’s built-in WebView for rendering. For best results, make sure you have the latest WebView installed. On devices running the Android 4.x series, Privacy Browser will switch to Privacy WebView (a branch of Android WebView) to unlock additional privacy capabilities.
