Incognito Browser

Incognito Browser is a private browser for people who care about their privacy. It leaves no history behind and blocks ads. Fast, light and free.

No history, no cookies, no cache. Your session is wiped when you close the app and again the next time you open it, so anyone who picks up your phone finds an empty browser.

Most browsers hide a private mode in a menu you have to remember. This one has no other mode. Every tab is private browsing, every time, without you doing anything.

AD BLOCKER AND POP-UP BLOCKER BUILT IN

The ad blocker stops requests to ninety thousand known advertising and tracking domains before a page loads. Those requests never leave your device, so pages come in lighter, load faster and use less of your data. The blocklist ships inside the app and is never fetched over the network.

Sites that open windows on their own, or bounce you somewhere you never asked to go, are held back and shown to you first. You decide whether it opens.

NO HISTORY TO CLEAR

There is nothing to clear, because nothing is written. Cookies, local storage, databases and the cache are wiped rather than hidden. Your downloads stay, because those are your files, and your settings stay, because you chose them.

FAVORITES, ONLY THE ONES YOU ADD

An extra option to make it easy to visit the sites you like. Tap the star

on a site and it opens in one tap from the start page. Only what you add

is kept, on this device, and you can clear it at any time.

NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING, NOTHING COLLECTED

No account, no sign-up, no sync, because there is no server of ours. No analytics, no crash reporting. Camera, microphone and location are only ever requested when a website asks for them, and only after you allow it.

EVERYTHING IS ALREADY ON

Nothing to set up. The blockers are running from the first page you open,

and the settings are there to switch things off, not to turn privacy on.

Pick the search engine you trust. Dark or light, or whatever your phone

is set to.

CAST TO YOUR TV

Send the video or audio on a page to a Chromecast, or to a smart TV over

DLNA, including Samsung and LG. Pages with several videos let you pick

which one goes across.

AUDIO KEEPS PLAYING

Start a radio station or a podcast and it carries on while you use other apps.

Playing in more than one tab? One screen shows them all, so you pause the

right one straight away instead of opening tabs until you find it.

Nothing about it appears on your lock screen unless you enable it in app.

THE SAME PRIVATE BROWSER ON WINDOWS

There is a desktop version for Windows, with the same throwaway approach:

a fresh profile every launch, wiped when you close the window.

WHAT THIS IS NOT

Everything this browser does happens on your own device. Websites still see your address and what you do on them, and your internet provider still sees which sites you connect to. It is not a VPN and it is not Tor: it does not hide you from the network. It keeps your device from keeping a record.
