ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Private Web Browser Incognito holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Private Web Browser Incognito has 5.7K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Private Web Browser Incognito's written reviews are positive against 64% of Vivid Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Private Web Browser Incognito ships an update monthly, Vivid Browser every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
