InBrowser - An Incognito Browsing App “True incognito mode, all the time” InBrowser is an incognito/private browser for iOS. Each time you exit InBrowser, everything you’ve done in the app will be erased, including history, cookies, and sessions. InBrowser is a feature-rich browser, with privacy baked in. With InBrowser, you can privately check Facebook on a friend’s device, complete sensitive gift shopping, plan a surprise party, search for a medical condition, watch a video, or simply avoid adding to search history. Using InBrowser, you can do all this and more without leaving a single trace. Key features: • Absolutely no data is saved. When you exit InBrowser (or press the “Clear Current History & Cache” tornado button in the InBrowser app), all internet history and browsing data are removed. • Built with 100% SwiftUI InBrowser has been updated and optimized for iOS13+ and is the first privacy browser in the iOS app store to use Apple’s latest framework. • Built for both iPhone and iPad InBrowser is designed from the ground up to work on all iPhones and iPads, regardless of model or screen size. • Tabbed Browsing InBrowser’s tabbed browsing feature gives users the ability to quickly switch between several open web pages within a single browsing session. • You’re in control of your privacy settings Choose your privacy level. InBrowser can remember active tabs, even if you close down the app, and the browser can be manually cleared at any time by pressing the "Clear Current History & Cache" tornado button. Run in the background is enabled by default and can be disabled in the settings. You have the power to choose between automatically deleting data when sending the app to the background or storing it so you can multitask. • Biometrics protection for your Favorite Sites InBrowser allows you to lock your Favorite Sites list using TouchID or FaceID. • Delete InBrowser app data whenever you receive a call InBrowser can automatically clear your cache and browsing data every time you receive a call • Notifications to remind you to clear your internet history InBrowser will notify you if you didn’t clear your cache and browsing data before sending the app to the background. • Change your browser agent with agent cloaking Using agent cloaking, you can make websites think that you're visiting from Safari Desktop, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, or iOS, giving you richer and more complete browsing experience. Please note that this won’t work on pages that are responsive. • Designed for the optimal private browsing experience InBrowser features a minimalistic design meant to enhance your browsing experience. We add no injected or targeted ads, no junk, and no extra toolbars - just maximum space for your private browsing experience. • Free forever! InBrowser will always be free of charge: there are no hidden fees associated with the app and we do not collect or sell your browsing data.
