It's mentioned here

Keepsafe launches a privacy-focused mobile browser

Just installed and trying it. It has nice trackers reporting. However, it should have a collapse/expand mode. The collapse mode should report the main domains for the 4 categories with counters and hide all others (https sites) making the info displayed cleaner. The expand mode should show everything for those interested to know in details..

Not sure how to open a private tab.......maybe needs a pin to do it

It'll be good if the browser allows the user to control cookies like blocking all 3rd-party cookies option and make exceptions to allow cookies

No anti-fingerprinting feature like in Brave and also cannot add extensions

Not sure which search engine it's using. If it's Google then forget it. A feature to allow user to add search engines is most welcome

    Protect browsing with a PIN-code

    Use Touch, Fingerprint or Face ID to unlock app

    Go incognito with secret tabs

    Close tabs to forget browsing history, cookies and urls and clear data

    Prevent being tracked and secure your data

    Turn on tracker blockers for ads, social networks, analytics and content

First thing that is not good, is the sposored short url into mainpage, why using a redirect chain for tracking my download?

hxxps://app.adjust.com/vknwx9d?engagement_type=fallback_click&redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.getkeepsafe.b

4uon.ly - urlscan.io

The second thing not good is that will necessary require Google Play Services.

Has some good sides as small size, and honestly seems ok for now, maybe a good alternative.

Mmm, I don't like the default whitelist, sorry, it seems it also utilize copyrighted work from another dev...

The default whitelist is the thing that make me say no.

You can download its apk from other site and not from Google Play Store

If I understand how this browser works, it will allow google analytics by visiting one of the google domain listed into the whitelist, alongside with gmail, am I wrong?

I understand, that maybe default whitelist entries to avoid problems during browsing, anyway there are much things that are not clear to me, I would like the developer of this browser explain to me.

The browser will block analytics trackers NOT allow them. It'll also block ads, social and content
