Fend is an award-winning high-security private web browser for iOS. Voted "App of the Month", Fend is designed to protect your online privacy and security along with providing a world-class web browsing experience. What is a "high-security" private browser? Most private browsers rely on sending a portion of your browsing data to a server to check if a website is safe. Fend is a high-security private browser because it privately checks for threats right in the app, so your data stays on your device. Fend loads websites up to 3 times faster and has a built-in ad blocker to block ads and trackers. It even blocks video ads on many popular video sites for a better viewing experience.
