I wanted a trustworthy browser with features I need yet using as few resources as possible. I hope you enjoy it.
TIPS • Cannot see the browser menus? See below. • Close current tab by tapping its tab bar button. • The "desktop" button allows you to request and view full, rather than mobile, versions of web sites. • Swipe right --> to show bookmarks/history. Long press bookmarks/history to edit. • One finger zoom: Double-tap and hold, then swipe to zoom. • Undo close tab: Long press new tab "+" button. • Choose a search engine for URL bar search: Long press "go" arrow. • Bottom menu "exit" button is the only way to gracefully quit, and do things like clear history on exit. • Adobe Flash support for most pre-Android 4.4 devices: Download Flash player from the Adobe web site & install http://tinyurl.com/4aflash • Read through browser options and bookmarked help page for more tips.
CANNOT SEE THE BROWSER MENUS? If your device has no menu button, you may be able to long press the device app switch button or back button. SHOW MENU GESTURES: Swipe up from bottom corner, OR swipe down from top edge of browser window. 5-finger tap screen to shows menus, in case all gestures disabled. Paid Pro of version of Naked Browser provides many more options.

DATA Naked Browser does not use data to spy, monitor, or even show ads. All data transfer is solely as a result of your requests & retrievals. Because Naked Browser is designed for efficiency, you may use more data simply because you can browse sites faster.
SECURITY Naked Browser uses the Android WebView that's on your device to display web pages. All data requests & retrievals, all cookies, all passwords, etc. are handled by the WebView and Naked Browser does not interfere with the default behavior. However, versions of Android before 5.0 do not get System WebView updates via the Play Store, and there are known problems with older WebView. Android 7+ uses Chrome Browser as WebView, if installed.
PERMISSIONS • Internet: ONLY for your web page requests & retrievals. Absolutely no monitoring or snooping, & ad-less too. • File read/write: ONLY so you can save & upload files. Absolutely no other reason. • View network state: ONLY to handle changes in network connectivity. • Keep device from sleeping: ONLY to prevent downloads from being cut off.
CURRENTLY MISSING Geo-location, which is in the paid Pro version, along with many more features.
Designed and made by an independent software developer named Tony in Redwood City, California, United States of America.
Thanks to Mike & Charlotte for all the alpha testing.
Recent changes: PLEASE READ APP DESCRIPTION • better at determining download file name • several other tweaks
PREVIOUSLY • better compatibility with newer Android versions • new option: hide/show system "3-dot" menu button, newer Android versions • five-finger tap screen to show menus, in case all other gestures disabled

This is my favorite web browser but lately some webpages takes ages to load. They load fast with other like firefox or duckduckgo. I have a hard time to switch to another web browser because of the simplicity of this one. I would be happy to support the developer by buying pro version knowing that the app will be updated/patched
★★★★★
I thoroughly love this browser, but a lack of updates for around a year tells me its dead. Best ui, lightest experience, Ill miss you NB

This is the best browser i have ever found. Also i have found out you "DO NOT HAVE TO BE NAKED TO USE" !!!
★★☆☆☆
I have been using the 2019 free version on one phone for past couple of years, which I liked, and the paid version on my Moto G6, but for 2 years, and it was even better, with more settings, but the free version from 2019 has display problems on my Samsung Galaxy A71 5G in that it only shows the search screen withWeather, Yelp, etc. When the browser opens, there is no three dots on the bottom right to select to bring up the bottom sub-menu, only vertical and horizontal scroll bars.
★★☆☆☆
Was great now ... wah wah wah . They removed ALL history settings bookmarks everything . I have bought this several times . Kinda sucks you don't keep it every new phone rebuy rebuy rebuy .
★★☆☆☆
Grear browser except for two major issues. Image downloading can be very glitchy but worst of all three times now I've opened it to find my tabs gone despite specifically setting it to save tabs. Its not phone space and ut doesn't seem to matter if i clear the cache or not.
