Android users, we have some great news for you. Not only did you avoid a forced download of the latest U2 album – but now you can browse the web from your device without sharing your data!

We’re very excited to announce the first release of our Ghostery Privacy Browser v1.0 for Android devices. It’s a full-featured, standalone web browser with functionality from our  desktop tool built in. It’s easy to configure and simple to use, allowing you to browse the mobile web with quick load times and exceptional privacy.

A huge thank you goes out to all of our beta testers, who were extraordinarily helpful at identifying issues and helping us iron out wrinkles. Our user community is the best and brightest, and we really can’t say enough about how vital you all are to Ghostery’s success.

You can read a review of the new browser from Android Authority, and download it from the Google Play and Amazon app stores. Give the app a try and give us your thoughts and questions here in the comments, at our support forum, on Facebook and Twitter, or email support@ghostery.com.

(Firefox for Android users, don’t worry. We still support our mobile Firefox add-on as well.)

      Hi Bob,

      There is a bookmark feature under the Drop down menu. Currently, there is no way to import.

    Just added Ghostery. Upside: tablet now permits me to access seen.is which it had been refusing. Downside: sound has disappeared from all videos except YouTube ones. Can you fix this or easily help me fix it? On my phone, both video & sound seems to work.

    On what Browser is it based on? I hope Chromium.

    Could you publish it as free Software (for example GPL licensed) and put it in the F-Droid Store?
