Features & Capabilities

Browse privately with built-in Tor integration, ad blocking, and HTTPS-Only mode. Now with encrypted history and Quick Actions for instant private browsing.

iPrivateBrowser is a privacy-first web browser built from the ground up to keep your browsing safe, private, and anonymous. With built-in Tor integration, ad blocking, and HTTPS-Only mode, you're in complete control of your online privacy.

PRIVACY BY DEFAULT Every browsing session is private. No data is stored between sessions, no tracking, no telemetry, no data collection — ever. Enable "Clear Data on Exit" to automatically wipe all browsing data when you leave the app.

TOR INTEGRATION Route your traffic through the Tor network for maximum anonymity. Your IP address is hidden from every website you visit. Access .onion hidden services directly. WebRTC is automatically blocked when Tor is enabled to prevent IP leaks. Traffic is encrypted through multiple relay hops worldwide.

AD & TRACKER BLOCKING Built-in content blocking powered by EasyList and EasyPrivacy removes ads and trackers before they load. Pages load faster, your browsing stays private, and fallback rules ensure protection even when offline.

HTTPS-ONLY MODE Automatically upgrades all connections to HTTPS. Insecure HTTP connections are blocked unless you explicitly allow them. Onion sites are correctly exempted.

PRIVATE TAB MANAGEMENT Visual tab switcher with screenshot previews. Swipe to close tabs. Tabs are never saved between sessions. Close all tabs with a single tap.

APP LOCK Protect the browser with PIN or biometric authentication — Face ID, Touch ID, and Optic ID are all supported. Configurable auto-lock timeout. After 10 failed attempts, all data is wiped for security.

FULL DEVICE SUPPORT Optimized for iPhone and iPad. Full landscape support with responsive layouts. External keyboard shortcuts. VoiceOver accessibility throughout. Available in 38 languages.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES • Bookmarks and favorites with search • Find in Page • Reader Mode for distraction-free reading • Pull to refresh • Custom search engine selection (DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Brave, Google) • Pop-up blocking • JavaScript toggle

Your data stays yours. Browse the web on your terms with iPrivateBrowser.

User Reviews

Users are drawn to iPrivateBrowser for Tor-based anonymity and its modern, appealing UI, with some praising iOS 7 polish and Fleksy keyboard integration. However, widespread stability issues (crashes on startup and during use), confusion over pro features and paywalls, and missing proxy controls undermine the experience. Several reviews report Tor not functioning reliably or onion sites not loading, plus lack of iPad support and some video issues in Tor mode. Overall, the app shows promise but is hampered by reliability and policy concerns.
Pros
  • Tor anonymity is a key feature and allows access to blocked sites
  • UI is modern and polished, looks better than Safari
  • Good iOS 7 era compatibility and overall feel
  • Fleksy keyboard integration (a unique feature reviewers highlighted)
Cons
  • Frequent crashes on startup across multiple iOS versions (e.g., iOS 6.1, iOS 7)
  • Pro upgrade is required to use Tor, perceived as misleading/bogus
  • No proxy/network settings exposed, despite descriptions claiming built-in configurations
  • Tor functionality is unreliable for some users, with onion sites not loading
  • No universal iPad support or iPad-specific version/optimization

Landscape used to work fine several updates back but the moronic devs have decided to leave it broken

The title is my review. It simply won't work on my iPhone. I can't give it less than a star but I would if I could.
