Mobile Privacy Challenges
Mobile browsing presents unique privacy challenges compared to desktop browsing. Mobile devices are constantly connected, often use public Wi-Fi, and apps can access more personal information. Understanding these challenges is the first step to protecting your privacy.
Use a Privacy-Focused Mobile Browser
Not all mobile browsers prioritize privacy. CtrlWeb Mobile Browser is designed specifically for privacy:

Protect Your Connection with VPN
Mobile devices often connect to public Wi-Fi networks, which are prime targets for hackers. CtrlWeb's built-in VPN encrypts your connection, protecting your data even on unsecured networks.
Benefits of using VPN on mobile:
- Encrypts your connection on public Wi-Fi
- Hides your IP address
- Protects against man-in-the-middle attacks
- Prevents ISP tracking

Use Private Browsing Mode
CtrlWeb's incognito mode prevents your browsing history and cookies from being stored locally. This is especially important on mobile devices that may be shared or accessed by others.

Control Web Tracking
Mobile browsers are particularly vulnerable to tracking. CtrlWeb helps you control web tracking by:
- Preventing unnecessary tracking information from being shared
- Using VPN to hide your IP address
- Managing cookies automatically
- Storing history locally, not in the cloud
Learn how to control web browsing and take charge of your privacy.
Be Careful with App Permissions
Mobile browsers can request various permissions. CtrlWeb doesn't require unnecessary permissions and doesn't ask for personal information unless you contact support.
Use Local Storage
CtrlWeb stores your browsing history locally on your device, not in the cloud. This means:
- Your data never leaves your device
- No cloud sync means complete privacy
- You have full control over your data
