Cloak is a private browser built for one thing: keeping your browsing yours. BLOCK ADS & TRACKERS Cloak blocks ads, trackers, and analytics using community-maintained filter lists (EasyList, EasyPrivacy and more) that update automatically — no app update required. See exactly how many trackers you've blocked, right on the home screen. LOCK IT DOWN Protect your sessions with your own app passcode. Cloak locks every time you leave, and blurs its contents in the app switcher so nothing leaks to prying eyes. LEAVE NO TRACE Private by default: history, cookies and cache are never saved. Close the app and it's gone. Or burn all browsing data instantly, whenever you want. FAST & CLEAN A clean, focused browser with tabs, adaptive blocking and a dark, focused design. FEATURES - Auto-updating ad & tracker blocking (EasyList / EasyPrivacy / Japanese filters) - Live tracker counter and per-site breakdown - App passcode lock + app-switcher blur - No-trace private browsing by default - One-tap "burn" to erase everything - Tabbed browsing - Picture-in-Picture video Your browsing is nobody's business but yours. Cloak keeps it that way.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Cloak at Free against S3's $1.99. Cloak also leads on rating (4.2 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 13 months). S3's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
