This browser eliminates some risk with the #1 antivirus. Also, it has an ad blocker, which is great since we all hate ads. Reviews are mostly positive. It looks like an interesting browser, although I have never heard of it. More

Horrible browser that I found hard to use and install at the least. Just use Google Chrome browser incognito mode. Its easier and more streamlined.

Well, to be honest, this is my top choice for the best private browsers because it is multiplatform and the app is fully functional on both platforms. Third party cookies are such a pain in my ***. One day I was looking for banks and suddenly all the ads on my facebook are about banks!! I hate that! My privacy is breached. More

DuckDuckGo is actually actively taking a stance for privacy on the web and that is cool. They offer a nice incognito web browsing experience, and the only thing better I can think of for this type of thing is TOR. More

So is it true? Is Firefox Focus an incognito browser? Does that mean that I can already watch explicit content freely on my Samsung android mobile phone?

Fellas, this is a chrome extension. It speeds up my browsing experience. I am not really sure how smart blocking works but I am guessing it automatically flag suspicious websites. I am confident in my private browsing experience. More
