Pane Browser
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pane Browser is a browser built for actually reading the web. There is no top URL bar, no bottom toolbar, no persistent chrome. The web page fills the entire screen. Everything else hides behind a single floating button on the side β tap it once for a radial menu of back, home, more, and two slots you customize yourself. Designed for one-thumb mobile use: β’ Tap the floating button to open the radial menu β back, home, more, plus your two custom slots. β’ Drag the button anywhere on the screen; it snaps to either edge so it never gets in the way of the page. β’ Swipe from the left edge to go back, with a Safari-style parallax preview of the previous page sliding in. β’ A four-tile shelf on the start screen for the sites you visit most. β’ Tabs, bookmarks, and history live behind the More menu, not above the page. Privacy by default: β’ No accounts, no sign-in, nothing leaves your phone. β’ Bookmarks and history stored on-device only. β’ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. β’ Default search engine is Bing β reachable worldwide without a VPN. Switch to Google or DuckDuckGo in Settings. Pane Browser uses Apple's WKWebView, the same engine as Safari, so every site you visit renders the way it would anywhere else on iOS.
MiruMado Focus Browser
Read full descriptionHide full description
MiruMado is a privacy-focused browser that lets you view selected parts of webpages through focus windows while dimming the surrounding area. Keep useful details such as weather, headlines, scores, delivery updates, and reservations in view. Switch between standard browsing, focus view, and blackout view. Save separate small and medium still-image crops in the Home Screen Focus Image widget. Widget crops do not change your in-app focus windows. Each image shows its capture date/time; tap it to open the source page. Images do not automatically refresh: capture and save again in the app to update them. Capture is unavailable in Private Browsing. Check what will appear on your Home Screen before saving. Manage quick links, favorites, recent sites, and saved focus windows locally. Page translation, desktop-site mode, text size, display repair, and content blocking are available per page. Saved URLs, focus settings, favorites, preferences, and widget images stay on your device. Widget images are stored in the shared app and extension container. No MiruMado account, advertising SDK, external browsing-history logging, or webpage parsing or scraping is added.
