Still useful

Still works very well.

Stellar

By far the most secure, private browser available. Light years better than any of the others. Just wish it could be available on other platforms.

Thanks SnowHaze for making a truly legit privacy & security focused browser that benefits the consumer. Period.

Hasn’t worked in a long time

Used to be great. I’d use it for bypassing newspapers demanding you to sign up for a subscription just to access a single article published 20 years ago. But that feature hasn’t worked in nearly two years, and I’m pretty much done waiting for it to ever be fixed.

Earth To Developer

1. Fix the UI so that
the lettering in
menu options
isn't overlapping
(duh!).

2. Explain the geek
terms, so that
ordinary users
can understand
what the options
mean.

Stellar

Hands down the most potent privacy browser for iOS, but what I really appreciate is the protection it provides you with all the various settings. It will keep websites at arms length and only let in or out what you decide. I also use the extension for browsing on my laptop because the tab siloing works well.

Thanks!

NO UPDATES!!

iPhone warned me today that I was running a version over 6 months old. Turns out the developers haven't updated this app for over a year. Sounds like a MAJOR SECURITY RISK to keep using this. It's a shame because it was my go-to app on iPhone & iPad. We'll see if the developers respond to my review. One star rating based solely on lack of updates. Otherwise I've been quite happy with the app.

Alternate Firefox

Alternative firefox, due to Firefox’s new TOS and then changing terms of use. Good browser and can change a bunch of settings.

Fantastic, Privacy Respecting Browser

In the age of users being product, it is really impressive to feel and experience what SnowHaze is doing! There is a bit of learning but that’s for greater good. Kudos!

The most private & secure browser on iOS

Built-in adblocker, built-in tracking prevention, tons of other privacy and security focused features, start page search engine by default AND I can lock the app behind a passcode that’s separate from biometrics? I don’t think it can get any better than this. Sure this ain’t the prettiest browser or the most user friendly, but it’s probably the most private and that’s a huge win in my book.

SnowHaze

If you love having a browser on your IOS device that has ‘The Total’ Privacy Package’, Then SNOWHAZE is for YOU….. It’s ‘THE BEST OF THE BEST’ ….PERIOD!!!

UI change

This has been my main browser for the past 3 years but thr latest UI change has forced me to drop the app. Why change what's not broken?

Great app!

Large control on privacy parameters.
Less functionalities than other browsers, functionalities that are not inherently needed on a browser (password manager, identities,…) and are not missed.
I don’t like the visualization of tabs, and it doesn’t seem possible to change that. Otherwise the design is great!

The best privacy browser for iOS

This is the best privacy browser I have found for iOS, and it is now my default browser. The granularity with which you can control the settings and throughtful additions like detection of potential tracking parameters on URLs, per-tab settings, changeable browser agents and "hints" at which settings are most secure by the shade of green displayed in the setup make it head and shoulders above the others. Some users may find the customizability a little daunting at first, but you can always start with the defaults and make incremental tweaks. Personally, I like to disable JavaScript, then only allow it on a one-time basis for most sites if required. That said, there are a few irritations, but these can be found on some other privacy browsers as well: - No way to see which bad elements/trackers are on what page. The total is tracked, but I'd like to see which sites are using which trackers. - Lack of a way to organize bookmarks - they end up in a big pile. - You have to wait untils crolling stops to long-press and go into tab actions. Short press on the icon doesn't have the same problem. This browser has a permanent place on my phone, hopefully it will continue to be maintained for a long time to come!

No access

So this junk app doesn’t know how to connect to a website. Always network error when typing ANY WEBSITE into the app. What gives? Is this just a phony app that pretends like it’s supposed to do something… idk, like connect to the web??? Is this so hard for y’all to accomplish??? When will you start begging for money or how much of my data are you selling to be such as stellar app??

Privacy claims appear accurate

Websites seem to forget after switching VPNs and resetting, which is perfect. This cannot be said for any Firefox version, Brave, or Safari in the short term, particularly on sites owned by Google. I had no browser on my phone for a little under a week because they all track too aggressively. The VPN service is unnecessary for me, and isn’t pesky about me signing up. Great UI and settings organization also!

Naja

Abhängig von den jeweiligen Einstellungen funktionieren einige Websites nicht. Völlig unabhängig von den Einstellungen ist der Versuch, die Adresse aus der Adressleiste zu kopieren ein absolutes Glücksspiel. Hat man es erstmal geschafft, die Adresse zu markieren, ist sie nach dem Kopieren oftmals gar nicht kopiert.

Needs work but it’s ok

Pretty good, but needs work

Best Secured Browser!

Thank you!

It was so close to being good...

As much as the general layout of the app and the blocking options it has is enjoyable, the settings are very difficult to understand for the most part. There are too many options NGOs to look over for people who don’t know much about coding and general internet related stuff. On top of this, and the majority of the reason as to why I’m giving it one star, I was on YouTube watching a video, and although my wifi is fine, it stopped playing the video 10 minutes in to me watching and simply refused to play the video. I want to like SnowHaze so bad, but that’s kind of difficult to do when it stops working on the one thing I (mainly) use it for.

Excellent Privacy-based Browser

Stable, easy to use, and genuinely privacy-focused. I wish there was a desktop version!
