True Privacy

+ +

Privacy Browser is designed to let you take as much control of your privacy as possible while still browsing the internet. + When a browser connects to a website, certain pieces of information which are necessary to facilitate the connection are transferred to the server. + For example, the server will receive your IP address and a port number, which are necessary for it to know where to send the response. + This information is often logged by the server, allowing the website developer to produce reports showing how often a webpage was loaded and how many different IP addresses accessed it.

+ +

However, most website operators want more information about their visitors, including tracking their web browsing across multiple websites. + There use many different techniques, including requesting or placing extra information on a user’s device, that facilitate this tracking. + Almost all browsers will voluntarily participate in this tracking without informing the user they are doing so. + Privacy Browser is designed to grant the user as much information and control over these tracking techniques as possible.

Android’s WebView Limitations

+ +

Privacy Browser uses Android’s built-in WebView to render websites. There are some limitations in the controls WebView exposes for managing privacy settings. + For example, it isn’t possible to enable some JavaScript commands while disabling others. In the future, Privacy Browser will switch to a custom WebView called Privacy WebView.
