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. Browse the web on your terms with iPrivateBrowser.

Still blocks animated images and motion effects in Safari, giving you a calm, static browsing experience. What it blocks: • Animated GIFs — replaced with a static placeholder. Includes GIFs served via image-proxy URLs (Next.js, Cloudinary) and cross-origin CDNs that often slip past simpler blockers • Animated WebP and APNG — detected by inspecting file headers; static images display normally • Script-driven animation — text and images that zoom, slide or fade in as a page loads, and scroll-driven effects on marketing sites, appear in their final position instead of moving there • Sliding carousels and smooth-scroll jumps — image strips and "back to top" buttons land instantly • CSS transitions and animations, including subtle ones (crossfades, opacity pulses, sliding banners) and those inside web components • SVG animations and CSS background-image animations • Autoplaying video — videos stay paused until you press play • Per-site rule pack — sites with known animation patterns get tailored protection without breaking the rest of the page What it doesn't break: • Static images (JPEG, PNG, SVG, WebP) display normally • Page layout and functionality are preserved • Per-site allowlist lets you enable animations on sites you trust • Global on/off toggle in the extension popup Built for people with vestibular sensitivities, migraine triggers, or anyone who just wants the web to hold still. Still runs entirely on-device. No data is collected, transmitted, or stored.
