ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Private Browsing Web Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Private Browsing Web Browser has 127K ratings behind it against 2, 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 MB Smart Protect'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, MB Smart Protect every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
