Tao Browser by Hostao: Private

Tao Browser by Hostao® is a private browser with a built-in ad blocker and tracker blocker, made for founders and anyone who juggles many accounts. Keep every company in its own space, lock what matters with Face ID, and browse without ads, trackers or telemetry.

SPACES FOR MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS
• Give each company, client or side project its own space with its own tabs.
• On iOS 17 or later, every space keeps its own cookies and logins, so you can stay signed in to two accounts of the same site at once.

FACE ID LOCK FOR TABS, SPACES AND THE APP
• Lock a single tab, a whole space or the entire app with Face ID or Touch ID.
• Locked tabs stay blurred until you unlock them and lock again when you leave.
• The app switcher never shows your pages.

ONLY IN TAO
• Wrong-Account Guard: Tao warns you when a tab is signed in to Gmail, Outlook or Zoho with an account that belongs to another space.
• Client Mode: when you share, record or AirPlay your screen, Tao hides your other tabs, bookmarks and history.
• Site Watch: the start page shows whether your own sites are up, and when their SSL certificate and domain expire.
• Company Cards: keep each company's legal name, address and tax number per space, and fill them into forms.

AD BLOCKER AND TRACKER BLOCKER BUILT IN
• Blocks ads and trackers on your device with EasyList and EasyPrivacy, more than 100,000 rules.
• HTTPS-First: Tao opens the HTTPS version of a site and warns you before an insecure page.

EXTENSIONS, REVIEWED BY TAO
• Add uBlock Origin Lite or Dark Reader from Settings › Extensions (iOS 18.4 or later).
• Each extension downloads from its publisher's official release and must match the version we reviewed. Extensions never run in private tabs.

PRIVATE TABS. NO TELEMETRY. NO ACCOUNTS.
• Private (incognito) tabs keep no history, and their cookies are deleted when you close all private tabs.
• No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifiers, no sign-up.
• Your tabs, bookmarks, history and settings stay on your device.

A TAB MANAGER THAT KEEPS UP
• Command bar: search open tabs, bookmarks and history, or type an address.
• Reader mode, find on page, downloads to the Files app and a share extension.
• Import bookmarks from any browser (HTML file).
• Works with iOS Password AutoFill and your password manager. Tao never sees your passwords.

Tao is a lightweight browser built on Apple WebKit. It is free, with no in-app purchases and no ads.
