Description by John Friedson(from the App Store)
jBrowse is a fast, general purpose multi-tab private browser built for iPhone and iPad. Three protection modes let you choose your privacy level for each tab independently.
PROTECTION MODES • Standard — Tracker and ad blocking (700+ domains). Good for social media and sites that need more access. • Safer — Rotating canvas, WebGL, and audio fingerprint. Third-party cookies blocked, referrers stripped, WebRTC blocked. • Strict — Full rotating fingerprint: hardware, screen resolution, fonts, CPU, RAM, and language all vary per site. A different "you" on every website.
PRIVACY ENGINE • 700+ blocked domains: ads, analytics, session replay, telemetry • Notification requests blocked in all modes • URL tracking parameters stripped (utm_*, fbclid, gclid, msclkid, and 20+ more) • Bounce redirect bypass for Facebook, Reddit, Slack, and Medium • DNS leak prevention: blocks dns-prefetch and preconnect tags • Global Privacy Control (GPC) opt-out signal sent to every site • Invisible tracking pixel suppression • JavaScript alert/confirm/prompt dialogs suppressed
DISTRACTION BLOCKING • Cookie and GDPR consent banners removed • Newsletter and subscription popups blocked • Sticky overlays and modal dialogs removed • Floating video players removed • Scroll-lock prevention • Reader Mode with optional Auto Reader Mode per site • Video and audio playback blocking (Safer/Strict)
TABS & INTERFACE • Multiple tabs, each with its own protection mode • Tab strip with per-tab mode badges • Address bar: top or bottom • Icon bar: top, bottom, left, or right • Light, dark, or auto display mode • Swipe to go back or forward • Find in page
PASSWORD MANAGER • Passwords stored in the iOS/iPadOS system Keychain • Face ID / Touch ID authentication • Autofill on login forms • Secure password generation on compatible pages • Enable or disable saving per site • No cloud sync — everything stays on your device
PER-SITE SETTINGS • Override protection mode per domain • Enable or disable video playback per site • Reader Mode per site (Always, Never, or Global Default) • Allow WebRTC for video conferencing sites • Disable protections for compatibility when needed • Mark sites as Trusted to exempt from privacy clearing • Schedule automatic site refresh for frequently visited pages
