The distinguishing feature of the app is that it uses AI to perform searches on behalf of users. The \u201cBrowse for Me\u201d functionality displays search page results with AI from six different sources, providing a personalised webpage search answer to users&#8217; queries.<\/p>\n<p>Users can also search traditionally after selecting their preferred choice of search engines, including the default browser, Safari. The app also includes a Spaces feature that groups and organizes tabs and themes accordingly. Arc Search prioritizes security and privacy and doesn\u2019t track browser activity or search history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aloha Browser<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Aloha Browser + Private VPN - Apps on Google Play\" src=\"https:\/\/play-lh.googleusercontent.com\/5gZT60Z93cjU-iNyhHiW-CObudh27v-NhWdV333OIHYlgEiMjQ33oTJpcrePVqDTRw=w526-h296-rw\"\/> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Aloha Browser + Private VPN - Apps on Google Play\" src=\"https:\/\/play-lh.googleusercontent.com\/gb_Ymq4xmGR_lisUvRDtQNvFUi1lWXIx6A-g-PeEiqlwG88bldhMsTw5PTXnthPigQ\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Aloha acts as a private VPN with an Adblock Plus plug-in to block annoying ads. The free version of the app has a VPN that encrypts users&#8217; internet traffic with less risk of data breach. With ad-blocking and tracking, browser speed and privacy can be improved.<\/p>\n<p>Incognito mode creates private browsing sessions that don\u2019t save cookies, along with a media player, a profile manager, and a Web3 cryptocurrency wallet. Aloha Premium will let users customise and select their VPN country with configuration and VPN protection for all devices.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, for now, lacks a desktop app that will sync user passwords and browsing history across devices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brave<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Brave Browser Download | Brave\" src=\"https:\/\/brave.com\/static-assets\/images\/brave-og.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Brave Browser is a better alternative to Safari with desktop and mobile apps, offering a unique set of features like Adblock, a rewards system, and a crypto wallet. A built-in VPN service is also available for its premium users. The user interface is not only creative, but also enhances the overall mobile web-browsing experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FireFox Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Firefox Focus: The privacy browser\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/media\/img\/firefox\/browsers\/mobile\/focus\/page-image.9b5cb24bcd7f.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This browser prioritzes privacy above everything, with ad blockers and trackers by default.
