Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Browser at 4.1 against Private Browser's 3.0. Browser also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 2). Private Browser's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
