About Privacy Browser
Privacy Browser is an Android web browser designed to reduce information sent to websites and data stored on the device. Features that can expose browsing behavior, such as JavaScript, cookies, and DOM storage, are disabled by default. If a site needs one of these features, users can enable it for a single visit or set a domain-specific rule that applies automatically when entering and leaving that site. The browser uses Android’s WebView to display pages. It includes ad blocking, supports proxy routing through Tor, and offers SSL certificate pinning. Settings and bookmarks can be imported or exported. These tools give users control over some browser behaviors that conventional browsers often enable by default. Privacy Browser is intended for people who want to choose when a website receives certain browser capabilities. Disabling a feature may cause a website to work incorrectly, so the app allows exceptions by visit or domain. The supplied description recommends using an up-to-date WebView, since page rendering depends on that Android component.
