10 best privacy web browsers for Android - Android
Privacy is a bigger deal now than ever before. People know how much sites can track them these days and are taking active steps to prevent it. A good privacy browser can help. They generally don’t save cookies, often block trackers, and sometimes even block advertising. There are three types of privacy browser. The first actively deletes all traces of you browsing the web after you exit, including cookies, history, passwords, etc. The second type blocks trackers, ads, and keeps websites from knowing who you are. Finally, the third type does both. We have all three types on this list. Here are the best privacy browsers for Android.
Price: Free
Brave Browser is a decent privacy web browser. It comes with most of the usual stuff including ad and tracker blocking, a private search, an incognito mode, HTTPS Everywhere, script blocking, third party cookie blocking, and more. This browser was torn down and rebuilt several times over the last few years and there are a few bugs here and there. It works rather well other than that. Plus, the app is free and it looks nice.
Price: Free
Cake Web Browser focuses more on not tracking its users than it does on websites tracking users. The app features a full privacy mode and Cake never tracks you. Additionally, there is passcode protection to keep other people out of your browser. Some other privacy features include HTTPS Everywhere, ad and tracker blocking, a Do Not Track mode, and more. On the functionality side, the app features a surprisingly decent voice search, a dark mode, and you can even change the app icon. It’s an excellent all-around experience and its swipe search function is fun too.
Price: Free
Dolphin Zero is an above average incognito browser. The app boasts a small download size (500kb), a Do Not Track mode that prevents the app from storing a bunch of information as well as an ad blocker. It’s not quite as powerful as some others. However, if all you need is to make sure nobody sees your browsing history, this one does a reasonable enough job. Plus, it has some neat features like gesture controls, themes, and the ability to download video content.
Price: Free
DuckDuckGo is a fairly trustworthy name in online Internet browsing. The company’s web browser is measurably less intrusive than Google or Bing and people choose it for that reason. The privacy browser by DuckDuckGo isn’t half bad either. The app blocks all hidden third party trackers that it can find and then show you what it blocked. Additionally, it uses its own search engine by default and it doesn’t track your online movements. Finally, it also uses HTTPS Everywhere to keep your web life a secret. The app works fairly well as a browser and we honestly have no real complaints about it.
Price: Free
Epic Privacy Browser is our diamond in the rough pick for this list. It’s not overly popular on Google Play, but a lot of people know about the desktop variant. It uses Chromium as a base, but includes a bunch of privacy features over top. Thus, you get a very Google Chrome-like experience without the Google Chrome-like privacy issues. The app includes an ad blocker, HTTPS Everywhere, and every browsing sessions is in incognito mode. Additionally, it comes with an encrypted proxy via VPN with eight servers around the world. We also like the tracker counter. It reminds us a lot of when Ghostery Browser was still good.
