About this app

Search without surveillance with the Startpage Private Browser app. This free app is the easiest way to search privately with Startpage on your mobile device.

With Startpage as your built-in, default search engine, every search is private. We don’t log your searches, we don’t record your IP address, and we never build a profile of you. Startpage has been private since 2006 and handles 300 million searches a month.

KEY FEATURES:

- Default Private Search: Startpage’s private search engine provides detailed knowledge panels, instant answers, localized maps, and comprehensive image, video, and news search results, all without tracking or storing any search history.
- Clear All Tabs and Browsing History: Cover your tracks with Zap by closing all open tabs and clearing your browsing history with one button.
- Private Browsing: Startpage’s Anonymous View lets you visit websites from your search results without revealing your IP address, location or DNS.
- Private Tabs: Open and manage multiple private tabs.
- Private Maps: Explore local results without revealing your exact location.
- Unprofiled Search Results: Startpage delivers results based on your search, not your history, so everyone sees the same web.
- No Tracking, No Profiling: Your searches aren’t used to follow you around the web. We show a small number of sponsored links based only on what you searched, never on who you are.
- Strict European Privacy Standards: Startpage is based in the Netherlands and protected by EU privacy law, in line with the GDPR.

Take control of your online privacy today. Startpage has protected private search since 2006.

Download the Startpage private browsing app for free and make private search your default.
Search without surveillance. Private search & browsing, no tracking.

It has a lot of features, clean UI, and optimized performance (for low-end devices). Only 4 stars because I think giving it the ability to make other webpages dark mode, downloading videos from webpages, AMOLED theme, allowing zoom to be toggle able in the navigation bar, and giving it access to chrome extensions would make it perfect

Easy privacy. No tricky settings to monkey around with. You launch the browser, you use the browser, boom easy private browsing and no nonsense. The zap data button is a great touch. One tap, all gone, your cookies, history, everything. You need this browser.

Absolutely loving this app so far. It is as stated: AI-free. Searches are not bombarded with AI generated overviews and suggestions; instead searches are uncluttered and clean, pretty much as it was 25 years ago, but with a modern minimalist appearance. So far, so good.
