When you’re surfing on your phone, do you worry about who’s watching you? Websites, businesses, hackers, and governments want to track your every move online.
Given that your browser is one of the most important ways to transmit data, it makes sense to go with a privacy-focused alternative.
Check out the “To Use” list with the most trusted mobile browsers that stop tracking to find the one that best suits your needs.
DuckDuckGo (Android, iOS)
In addition to a search engine, the company also offers a Web browser. The DuckDuckGo browser automatically blocks all third-party cookies and forces sites to use encrypted links, if any. DuckDuckGo does not store information about your browsing habits on your servers.
Ghostery Privacy Browser (Android, iOS)
The browser allows you to manage site trackers, uses smart blocking technology to alert you to dangerous web pages, and has a “Ghostery” mode that blocks all outgoing personal data.
SecureWeb Browser (Android, iOS)
Webroot is the company that offers the SecureWeb browser. It is known for its anti-virus and web security tools. So it’s no surprise that the company’s mobile browser offers state-of-the-art antivirus and protects you in real time from malicious Web sites thanks to Webroot’s database and password management of all your devices.
Red Onion (iOS).
This web browser runs on Tor. With Red Onion you can bypass corporate, school, public Wi-Fi internet filters and access the entire internet without restrictions with complete security. Other features include password locking, audio extraction (MP4> MP3) and IPTV support via M3U8 streams and playlists.
Orbot (Android).
If you’re using Android, check out Orbot. It’s a proxy server app that gives you access to the web. Perhaps the most unique feature of Orbot is that it supports all apps on your device-all of which can use Orbot to access the web via Tor. Your data and browsing history are completely hidden, and neither Orbot nor other sites will be able to track you.
InBrowser (Android, iOS)
InBrowser has been around for a long time. In addition to supporting Tor, InBrowser also provides robust privacy features. Most importantly, it doesn’t save your data between sessions. As soon as you hit “Home,” “Exit,” or “Close,” the app deletes your history and browsing information. InBrowser offers four integrated search engines: DuckDuckGo, StartPage, Bing, Google and Yahoo.
Frost (Android).
Some of the app’s major features include automatic deletion of all your data when you close, a built-in ad manager and pop-up blocker. Frost has a secret password-protected safe in which you can save your images and bookmarks without giving them to other users. Frost prevents users from taking screenshots.
