Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Private Browsing Web Browser at 4.7 against Fast Browser's 1.0. Private Browsing Web Browser also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (127K vs 1). Fast Browser's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Private Browsing Web Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Private Browsing Web Browser has 127K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Private Browsing Web Browser's written reviews are positive against 100% of Fast Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Private Browsing Web Browser ships an update every 2 months, Fast Browser fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and August 14, 2026 respectively.
