## What is Vanilla?

Vanilla is a privacy-focused browser for iPhone, designed to stay separate from your everyday browser. Use it for quick searches and websites you don't want mixed into your main browser.

Features:
• Block known trackers and ads by default
• Adjust blocking for individual websites
• Swipe between tabs from the address bar
• Choose your search engine and control history suggestions
• Choose which browsing data to clear and when
• Clear all local browsing data from Settings

Tabs, history, cookies, and site data can remain on your device between sessions until you clear them. Automatic clearing is off by default and can be enabled in Settings.

Vanilla does not collect personal data or use third-party analytics. Browsing sends requests to websites. Search suggestions come from DuckDuckGo; searches use your selected provider.
