Nice minimalistic browser.
I would love the option to change font size and sync bookmarks with other devices. Apart from that a great app.
Deleting all data need simplifying!
Brilliant app but the main problem is you need to go virtually all around the world to clear all your private data and website data via tapping the blue ghostery icon then go into the settings this is after you deleted the top sites and then history!
So yeah it needs simplifying because I get the feeling that it’s a deliberate attempt to make the user believe they’ve cleared all their browsing history and data when in reality they haven’t- I’ve seen comments many times regarding this problem but apart from that if it’s privacy your after then this is a brilliant choice although BRAVE is number one in my opinion as clearing all data only takes three steps rather than six/seven that’s needed in ghostery!
So to anyone struggling to clear everything (again you need to go into the settings)
I’d give this a 5 🌟 if it was simplified in cleaning all data (NOT HAVING IT VIRTUALLY HIDDEN IN THE GEAR COG SETTING) “ it give me the feeling I’m being duped into thinking I’ve cleared all my private data when In fact this isn’t the case - is this app trying to retain user data? So again ( clear website data and history then hit the ghostery icon and then the “gear cog that opens a new chapter in more data you have yet to clear”

Please update the app! Great browser with amazing adblock capabilities, all we need are more frequent updates. Keep fighting the good fight
Ghostery Private Browser
I’ve tried and used lots of browsers none compare to the greatness this browser has for sure my favs of any browsers you’ll love this browsers folks it’s a keeper love it 👌❤️✌️✌️
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
