Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MX Browser at none against Private Browser's shown. MX Browser also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). Private Browser's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
