A Web Browser that keeps no history of web sites viewed or caching of searches. When you double tap the home button and some one is looking at your open apps, they will not see what you were browsing before hitting the home button. And when going back into the app it will always reload the home page to add the extra layer of privacy in not showing what you looked at last. Select your default search engine and home page in Settings - No History Web Browser. Reviews and suggestions on changes to the app are welcome.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: No History Web Browser at 100% against Text Browser's 66%. No History Web Browser also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 31 months) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 15.6). Text Browser's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (36 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Text Browser holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Browser has 36 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Text Browser's written reviews are positive against 100% of No History Web Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Text Browser ships an update every 31 months, No History Web Browser every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
