Incognito Browser - Go Private

A private web browser for Android

Incognito Browser - Go Private is a web browser for Android that is built around not leaving a record behind. Its main mode is private by default, so the browsing itself is the feature, not an extra tab you have to open. The listing points to tasks like checking dating sites or using social media without it showing up on the phone.

It is free, and the listing describes it as having no subscription or paid unlock. Most of the features below are part of the same browser, so there is no separate app to set up for ad blocking or downloads.

What gets wiped and what is kept

When you exit, the browser clears history, cookies and sessions automatically. The developer says nothing is left on the device afterward, and that no browser history or cache is kept. Pages are also meant to load without first or third-party trackers, which the listing says keeps browsing from being followed across sites.

Blocking ads and using dark mode

A built-in ad blocker is included at no cost, and the listing says it keeps ads from interrupting pages. It works alongside the tracker blocking described above, so both are part of ordinary browsing rather than settings to switch on separately.

The dark mode gives the browser a dark interface for use at night. The listing presents it as a way to read without eye strain, and it applies to the browser's own screens as well as the pages it loads.

Searching, tabs and desktop sites

You can pick the search engine you use, with Google, DuckDuckGo and Bing named in the listing. Tabbed browsing lets you move between several open pages in one session, and the interface has no extra bars, which leaves more of the screen for the page.

Agent cloaking hides the browser and device identity from sites and can load desktop versions of pages on a phone. Image loading, JavaScript and cookies can be turned on or off in the settings, along with other preferences.

Downloads, Web3 addresses and languages

Files can be downloaded through the browser while it keeps the session private, according to the listing. The browser also opens IPFS content and .eth and .crypto Web3 addresses, which are not reached by a standard web address.

The interface is available in 13 languages, including English, Spanish and Portuguese.
