Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Private Browser at free with in-app purchases against RBrowser's subscription. Private Browser also leads on ads (none vs shown). RBrowser's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (89% vs 68%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
