+<h3>True Privacy</h3>
+
+<p>Privacy Browser is designed to let you take as much control of your privacy as possible while still browsing the internet.
+ When you connect 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 so it knows 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.</p>
+
+<p>However, most website operators want to track your web browsing across multiple websites, not just on a single server. There are many techniques they use to do so.
+ Some of them involve requesting or placing extra information on your device that facilitates 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.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Android's WebView Limitations</h3>
+
+<p>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. Once Privacy Browser has matured to take full advantage of all the privacy options WebView
+ does offer, some consideration might be made to embedding a customized WebView or using a different rendering engine.</p>
