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 Every browsing session is private. No data is stored between sessions, no tracking, no telemetry, no data collection — ever. Enable "Clear Data on Exit" to automatically wipe all browsing data when you leave the app. 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. AD & TRACKER BLOCKING Built-in content blocking powered by EasyList and EasyPrivacy removes ads and trackers before they load. Pages load faster, your browsing stays private, and fallback rules ensure protection even when 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 data is wiped for security. FULL DEVICE SUPPORT Optimized for iPhone and iPad. Full landscape support with responsive layouts. External keyboard shortcuts. VoiceOver accessibility throughout. Available in 38 languages.
