Website data does not carry over between sessions โ and the moment someone might look, the whole screen hides. โข Reduces ads and trackers with network rules and on-page cleanup โข Cookies, cache, and web storage do not persist between sessions; history stays on your device โข The moment you switch away, the screen auto-camouflages โข One-tap wipe clears the categories you choose There are moments you'd rather not show your screen to anyone. A stranger's glance on a packed train, someone walking behind you in a cafรฉ, the seconds your phone sits unattended, a brief hand-off to someone else. In those moments, leaving no trace and showing nothing matter. Umbric leaves no trace and shows nothing โ an iOS browser that keeps cookies, cache, and web storage out of persistent storage, blocks ads and trackers, and auto-camouflages its screen when moved to the background. Key features - Non-persistent storage for cookies, cache, and web storage (wiped between sessions) - Browsing history stays on-device only, never sent externally โ wipe it with one tap - Private Mode: Face ID-protected, separate space for bookmarks and history - Two-layer ad & tracker blocking (network rules + DOM-level removal) - Stops pop-ups and ads that open new tabs on their own - Fingerprinting protection (Canvas / WebGL / AudioContext / Navigator) - HTTPS enforcement, JavaScript dialog blocking, camera / mic access denied - One-tap wipe: clear history, cookies, cache, and more by category - Focus Filter integration: switches into Private Mode automatically - Recently closed tabs, in-page search, reader mode, video download About the name "Umbric" combines Umbra (Latin for shadow) with the idea of a deft, well-considered move. Sit beside you without taking up space, slip out of sight the moment a glance comes near โ your privacy, kept by your own hand. Leaving no trace isn't about deceiving anyone. It's about taking care of your own privacy. No trace. Nothing shown. โ Umbric.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DAWNBLOOM Browser at none against Umbric's 1. DAWNBLOOM Browser also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Umbric's advantage is update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
