A Free Fast Full Screen Private Browser! This is the browser I use everyday on my phone. I wanted to a browser that was easy to clear everything, wouldn't make a bunch of sounds at embarrassing times, was full screen, and didn't have the annoying habit of running out of windows. It uses the built in Webkit rendering engine, so the app is super small. I make several optimization, so its much faster then the stock android browser and consumes less memory.

Note: Private Browser is designed to be super fast, so it uses caching. To clear the cache and everything but any file downloads, press the shredder button, or press the search key.

Features of Private Browser:
Switch User Agent (lets you tell servers your a Normal Computer, iPHone, iPad, Mac, Etc.)
High Speed Render mode, beats the stock browser in the sun spider JavaScript test by 10%
Option to Mute Media Volume on startup
Flash Support (Requires Plug-in)
Full Screen Browsing
Search Button clears everything, and asks if you want to unload from memory.
Background Downloads.
And Lots Lots More.

If you find a bug or want a feature, please email me. I love hearing from users!

Thanks for looking at my browser.

    One of the few "private browsers" which actually seems to clear enough local data that all online accounts require re-logging into, and the cache is cleared from session to session. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be recognized by other apps, so if I'm
