## Description

Private Browser - Priver is a privacy-focused extension that locks and protects your browsing history and bookmarks inside the app with a passcode. It appears as a calculator-style icon and can launch as a regular calculator until you unlock it for private browsing.

Enter your passcode to switch to a private browser with an in-app storage of history and bookmarks. It auto-closes browser mode when the screen is turned off or you return home, preserving privacy. No account or personal data is required—start immediately, and follow the quick tutorial on first launch to set your passcode. If you use multiple devices, complete the tutorial on each device for consistent privacy.

## Review summary

Overall, users praise strong privacy, solid browsing, a discreet built‑in calculator, and responsive support. But they repeatedly complain about aggressive, intrusive ads after updates, data loss when deleting the app, and missing features like favorites/bookmarks. Connectivity glitches and limited site compatibility (e.g., Twitter) also surface. The app is usable for privacy-focused browsing, but ad load, reliability issues, and feature gaps significantly reduce its appeal.

### Pros

- Strong privacy features that help hide private content (users praise privacy and the app disguises itself as a calculator in the app switcher).
- General browsing works well; most websites load and the browser is functional.
- Built-in calculator that functions like a normal calculator and is discreet in the app switcher.
- Developer responsiveness with quick fixes and good support.

### Cons

- Intrusive and frequent ads after recent updates (unbypassable pop-ups and long ad durations).
- Data loss on uninstall/delete (bookmarks/settings may disappear).
- Not fully featured (missing favorites/bookmarks UI and other essential features).
- Connectivity issues (No Service/No reception) despite signal and Wi‑Fi availability.
- Some sites/apps are not supported or work poorly (e.g., Twitter).
