GoneTab: Private Browser

GoneTab is a web browser that keeps nothing. No history, no bookmarks, no search list — and one tap on Vanish closes every tab and erases cookies, logins, site storage and cache.

Made for phones you share, lend or hand to someone for a moment.

■ One tap to vanish
• The Vanish button sits next to the address bar, always one tap away
• Closes all tabs and deletes cookies, logins, site storage, cache and form data
• The app then starts over with a brand-new, empty browser
• Swipe GoneTab away from recent apps and the same happens

■ Wiped when you leave
• Choose when a session ends after you leave the app: immediately, 30 seconds, 1, 5 or 15 minutes
• Everything from that session is erased and the app locks again

■ Nothing for others to see
• Screenshots and screen recording are blocked
• The page is hidden in the recent-apps view
• Your keyboard is told not to learn what you type, so searches don't turn up as suggestions later
• Autofill and password-manager apps stay out unless you allow them

■ App lock
• PIN with its own on-screen keypad — the system keyboard never sees it
• Unlock with your fingerprint
• Wrong guesses are slowed down automatically

■ Encrypted download vault
• Downloads are encrypted inside the app with a key held in your phone's secure hardware
• They never appear in your gallery or Downloads folder
• Open them from the vault, or save a copy outside when you choose

■ Safer by default
• Links upgraded to HTTPS, with a warning before plain HTTP
• Broken security certificates are always refused
• Third-party cookies blocked
• Websites can't use your camera, microphone or location
• Pick your search engine: DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Brave Search, Google, Bing, Naver or Yahoo! JAPAN

■ We collect nothing
• No account, no ads, no analytics, no crash reporting
• The only internet traffic is the websites you open
• Nothing is included in cloud backups

Honest note: GoneTab keeps your phone clean. It does not hide you from the websites you visit, your mobile carrier or your Wi-Fi network — for that you need a VPN or Tor.
