Secure Private Web Browser is a security-focused browser built to give you full control over how and when your browsing data exists. Each launch creates a new temporary browsing session. No history is recorded, nothing is restored later, and all temporary tabs are removed automatically when you close the app or clear the session. You always decide what stays and what disappears. Secure access control Restrict access to the app using Face ID or a PIN of your choice. When protection is enabled, authentication is required at launch and every time the app returns from the background. Until verification is completed, web content remains locked. Temporary vs saved tabs Secure Private Web Browser clearly separates browsing into two distinct tab types: • Temporary tabs are created during regular browsing and exist only within the current app session. They are removed when the app is closed or when quick clear is used. • Favorite tabs are added only by explicit user action and remain available across app launches. This separation makes it easy to understand which tabs are session-based and which are intentionally preserved. Quick clear A single action instantly closes all temporary tabs and removes session data, while saved tabs remain untouched. Background protection When the app is minimized or appears in the app switcher, active content is concealed using a protective blur. If access protection is enabled, authentication is required again when returning to the app. Data handling principles • Browsing activity is not logged • Temporary tabs are never restored • Any data retention requires deliberate user action • PINs and passwords are never stored in readable form FREE AND PAID OPTIONS Some functionality requires a paid subscription. FREE ACCESS The free version includes: – Temporary browsing sessions – Automatic session removal after closing – Face ID and PIN protection – Quick Clear The following features require a paid subscription: PAID SUBSCRIPTION – Save Favorite tabs between sessions – Keep selected websites available for future visits – Access Personal Private Space Secure Private Web Browser provides a controlled, security-oriented browsing experience where access, visibility, and data persistence are always defined by you.

Private Browser is a fast, ad-free way to use the web on iPhone. It blocks ads and trackers before they load, keeps your browsing to yourself, and puts a lock on the whole app. No account. No profile. Nothing sold. BLOCK ADS AND TRACKERS • Over 135,000 filter rules from EasyList and EasyPrivacy, applied before a page starts loading • Pages load faster and use less data, because the ads never arrive • Cookie banners hidden automatically • A live counter shows exactly what was blocked on the page you are reading • Turn protection off for one site you trust, without turning it off everywhere PRIVATE TABS THAT REALLY ARE PRIVATE • Private tabs use a separate, temporary store — nothing is written to disk • Close the last private tab and the whole session is destroyed, not just hidden • Normal tabs keep history only for as long as you want it; clear any part of it in one tap LOCK THE APP, NOT JUST THE SCREEN • Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode to open the app • The page is covered the moment you switch apps, so nothing shows in the app switcher • Files you download are stored with iOS file protection and stay unreadable while the device is locked BUILT FOR READING, NOT FOR ADS • Reader mode strips a page down to the article • Dark mode for any website, not just the ones that support it • Toolbars get out of the way as you scroll and come straight back • Tabs, bookmarks, reading list and downloads, all where you expect them SEARCH THE WAY YOU PREFER • Choose from DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, Brave, Startpage, Ecosia, Yahoo or Baidu • HTTPS-Only mode, so an insecure page never loads by accident • Encrypted DNS guidance built in • QR scanner, downloads manager and full backup SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE Every screen is translated into 36 languages, including Arabic and Hebrew with full right-to-left layout.
