Description
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.

Excellent browser, fast, easy to use, no ads, allows fine control over cookies, trackers and so on. I particularly like the way it handles bookmarks. Brilliant. Thanks and keep up the good work Soren.

Very fast and lightweight browser. My favorite to secure privacy online. Thanks developer. UPDATE: I do like this new update! Tab browsing, left and right swype menu. And mostly your privacy first! UPDATE: I wonder why it has permission "WRITE SMS"? 🤔 UPDATE: Thanks for fast clarification. I've double-checked. It's some bug with app I used to check the permission. Confirm no WRITE SMS permission in this browser. 👍

It automatically opens Brave browser when a pop-up occurs. Suspicious. EDIT: It is not my default browser, which is why I thought it was weird.
