X Browser is a private, fast web browser built around the way you actually use the internet: without surveillance, without clutter, and without slow pages. —— SHIELDS THAT JUST WORK —— X Browser ships with always-on Shields that block trackers, banner ads, gambling redirects, and forced pop-ups before they ever load. Pages render faster, your battery lasts longer, and your activity stays your own. • On-device blocklist — nothing about your browsing leaves your phone • One-tap Shields panel on every page shows what was blocked • Auto-upgrade insecure HTTP connections to HTTPS • Optional script blocking for the strictest sites • Pop-up and redirect blocking, even on aggressive sites —— PRIVATE BROWSING, ACTUALLY PRIVATE —— Tap once to switch to Private Mode. Private tabs live in a fully isolated space — no cookies shared, no history written, nothing saved to disk. Close the tab and it's gone for good. • No accounts, no sign-in, no cloud sync of your browsing • Clear cookies, cache, and site data in one tap from Settings • Per-tab cookie isolation in Private Mode —— MEDIA THAT WORKS THE WAY APPLE INTENDED —— Most browsers fight you on videos. X Browser makes them behave. • Picture-in-Picture for any HTML5 video — keep watching while you scroll, message, or switch apps • AirPlay any video to your Apple TV from any web player • Smart tab muting — only the visible tab makes sound, the rest pause until you switch back —— DOWNLOADS, STRAIGHT TO FILES —— Long-press any link to download. Files land in your On My iPhone → X Browser folder, ready to open, share, or move. • Pause, resume, and inspect every download • Recognizes videos, images, PDFs, archives, and more • Survives app restarts — large files keep going • See exactly where each file is saved —— A NEW TAB PAGE THAT FEELS LIKE HOME —— Open a new tab and you get pinned favorites, recent visits, and a clean address bar. No tracking pixels, no sponsored content, no clutter. • Choose your search engine: Google, DuckDuckGo, or Bing • Address bar suggests from your own history, not the internet • Custom favorites you can rearrange and edit any time —— DESIGNED FOR THE iPHONE YOU OWN —— X Browser is built in SwiftUI for iOS 17 and later, with a chrome that gets out of the way. Light and dark mode both look great. iPad layouts supported. • Modern multi-tab switcher with live page thumbnails • Smooth, native gestures — pinch to zoom, swipe to go back • Poppins typography throughout • Optimized for the latest iPhone displays —— YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE —— X Browser does not track you. There is no account system. There is no third-party analytics. We don't collect, store, share, or sell your browsing data. Ever. No accounts. No sign-ups. No subscriptions. Just a fast, private browser that does what you expect. —— Subscription Plans —— Unlock the full potential of X Browser Pro with a premium subscription: Weekly Plan - $0.99/week Monthly Plan – $2.99/month Yearly Plan – $24.99/year Subscriptions auto-renew unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
