The record

Purpose: Privacy Browser Android is an open source Android web browser focused on user privacy and minimizing data sent to the internet and stored on the device.
Privacy controls: Privacy-sensitive features are disabled by default, and users can enable them for a visit or configure domain settings to toggle them for specific websites.
Rendering engine: The browser currently uses Android’s built-in WebView to render pages and works best with the latest WebView installed.
Filter lists: It uses EasyList and includes UltraPrivacy, UltraList, and a third-party request blocking list; blocking all third-party requests is disabled by default because it breaks many websites.
Filter limitations: The Android version implements only part of the Adblock feature set because WebView lacks some functionality and other features are omitted for handheld-device performance.
Local data: The browser generally avoids permanent on-device storage unless the user explicitly interacts, and Clear and Exit or closing the last tab wipes stored browsing data.
Incognito mode: Incognito Mode wipes the cache and history each time a webpage finishes loading.
Data collection: The maker states that Privacy Browser does not collect user information.
Open source license: Privacy Browser Android is released under the GPLv3+ license, and its source code is available from the maker’s Git repository.
Download channels: The app is available on F-Droid, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, and Galaxy App Store.
Minimum Android version: The current changelog lists version 3.20.1 with minimum API 26, corresponding to Android 8.0.
Signing verification: The maker says APKs on the downloads page and those distributed through Google Play and Galaxy App Store are signed with the maker’s key and gives its SHA-256 hash for verification.
Support: Feature requests and bug reports can be submitted through the issue tracker, and technical support is available through the project forum.
Developer: The browser is primarily developed by Soren Stoutner, an IT consultant and programmer living in Wickenburg, Arizona.
