MINT BROWSER

A STRIPPED-BACK, PRIVACY-CENTRIC ANDROID BROWSER ALTERNATIVE Free | mintbrowser.com

MINT is a stripped-back web browser which foregrounds privacy. Not only that, but it also supports proxying through Tor — the encrypted, anti-surveillance desktop browser — which goes to show how serious it is. While the privacy-related features are something you’ll need to take a leap of faith on, other more UI-centric features make it a decent enough browser to use even if you’re not a stickler for privacy. There’s bookmarking, history and notes, as well as Fingerprint Scanning to access the browser’s special Incognito+ mode, which can also be accessed via a password of your choice. The whole shebang is $1.99, though you’ll get a good enough feel for whether you want to use the browser via the free version. If you’re not worried about internet privacy now — you’re not a criminal, right? — you’ll probably worry about it in a few years time, so have a look at this.
