+ <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 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.</p>
+
+ <p>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.</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. In the future, Privacy Browser will switch to a custom WebView called <a href="https://www.stoutner.com/february-2017-roadmap/">Privacy WebView</a>.</p>
