iPrivateBrowser is a privacy-first web browser built from the ground up to keep your browsing safe, private, and anonymous. With built-in Tor integration, ad blocking, and HTTPS-Only mode, you're in complete control of your online privacy. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT Nothing you do is sent to us — no tracking, no telemetry, no analytics. Clear Data on Exit, on by default, wipes your browsing data whenever you leave the app, and Burn erases it all with one tap. TOR INTEGRATION Route your traffic through the Tor network for maximum anonymity. Your IP address is hidden from every website you visit. Access .onion hidden services directly. WebRTC is automatically blocked when Tor is enabled to prevent IP leaks. Traffic is encrypted through multiple relay hops worldwide. Turn Tor on or off from the shield menu. Tor is an in-app purchase — your first 3 sessions are free. AD & TRACKER BLOCKING Turn on content blocking to remove ads and trackers before they load. EasyList and EasyPrivacy come with the app and refresh weekly. Pages load faster and your browsing stays private, even offline. HTTPS-ONLY MODE Automatically upgrades all connections to HTTPS. Insecure HTTP connections are blocked unless you explicitly allow them. Onion sites are correctly exempted. PRIVATE TAB MANAGEMENT Visual tab switcher with screenshot previews. Swipe to close tabs. Your open tabs are encrypted at rest, and wiped automatically when Clear Data on Exit is enabled. Close all tabs with a single tap. APP LOCK Protect the browser with PIN or biometric authentication — Face ID, Touch ID, and Optic ID are all supported. Configurable auto-lock timeout. After 10 failed attempts, all browsing data is erased. FULL DEVICE SUPPORT Optimized for iPhone and iPad, with three toolbar layouts to choose from. Full landscape support. External keyboard shortcuts. VoiceOver accessibility throughout. Available in 50 languages. ADDITIONAL FEATURES • Bookmarks and favorites with search • Find in Page • Reader Mode for distraction-free reading • Pull to refresh • Custom search engine selection (DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Brave, Google) • Pop-up blocking • JavaScript toggle Your data stays yours.
