Everything a private browser should do, nothing it shouldn't
Blocking is on from your first page. There is nothing to switch on and no account to make.
Blocks ads and trackers
Every page, with a per-site pause for the rare page that needs them. Tap the shield to see exactly what was stopped.
Rejects cookie pop-ups
On the consent pop-ups it recognises, ArPar chooses reject for you before you have to see them.
Private mode
Nothing saved to history, no new cookies, and screenshots are blocked while you're in it. Add a fingerprint lock if you like.
Bring your bookmarks
Import from Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge or DuckDuckGo in a few taps.
Read aloud
Have any article narrated while you do something else.
Your own blocklist
Long-press any link and choose "Never show me" to block a site for good.
Toolbar where your thumb is
Address bar on top or bottom, light or dark.

Free, and honest about it

- No account, no sign-in, no subscription.
- No server of ours receives the pages you visit.
- Ad and tracker lists ship inside the app, so nothing about your browsing is sent anywhere to decide what to block.
आर-पार
ArPar, pronounced "aar-paar". It means straight through, from one side to the other.
That's the idea: the page you asked for gets through, and the trackers riding along with it don't. ArPar was previously called Aegis.
Your browsing stays on your phone
History, bookmarks, tabs and site data are stored on your device and are never uploaded to us. Android cloud backup is turned off for the app. You can clear everything at any time from Menu → Clean up….
The Google crash-reporting component sends a stack trace and device model if the app crashes. The policy lists every connection ArPar makes, including that one.
