What is Privacy Browser?

Privacy Browser is an open source Android web browser designed to prioritize user privacy. It achieves this by disabling features commonly used for user tracking, such as JavaScript, DOM storage, and cookies, while allowing these features to be enabled on a per-domain basis when necessary. The browser also incorporates the EasyList block lists, which block many tracking technologies even when JavaScript is enabled. Currently, Privacy Browser uses Android's built-in WebView to render web pages, though a forked version of WebView called Privacy WebView is planned for future releases to enable advanced privacy features
