Ratings and Reviews
Decent
Pretty good browser, overall am happy with the interface and functionality, and very satisfied with the security.
A couple of issues:
First up, there used to be a search feature allowing to search for a word on a page, this is a great draw since it isn’t present in any other mobile browsers (I think). While the feature still appears to be present, it no longer works, saying that the word cannot be found in the page.
Additionally, since update 3.1.1, thr keyboard freezes EVERY TIME after launching the app and typing one character in the search bar (iPhone 8, iOS 15). The keyboard unfreezes after about two seconds after it originally froze.
Overall, I would recommend this as an alternative to Safari for iPhone.
Has every opportunity to be better but says nah
I can tell you about the good but anyone with no understanding of what a private browser should be will take devs at their words and focus on the ease of their browsing experience and UI features.
Blocking tracking and ads alone don’t make a privacy browser. It’s basically just Firefox without a sentry ID and its own search engine. So maybe more like Brave but with far less features.
They still collect data though - it’s right there in my DNS filtering log - even with optional data sharing turned off. It’s still sending information in the background when I’m using neither the Safari extension or the browser.
Also takes a big L since the app doesn’t address these other areas
- doesn’t block WebGL or WebRTC
- no say in whether Java Script is on/off,
- let you change user agents,
- doesn’t let you block outside access to device archetecture
- doesn’t block or randomise all hash fingerprints
It’s basically just Firefox with it’s own search engine

I downloaded your App a few weeks ago, and was very pleased with the results. Unfortunately the App suddenly disappeared from the home screen. Although it's still listed on the iPhone, I cannot use it and when I have tried to download it. It's all faint and greyed out and simply won't open. I'm not sure what the problem is!!!! But was disappointed. Thanks Jacqueline
