Private browsing and privacy controls in Buck Browser
Choose what stays on your device, when to use a private session and whether to pair bookmarks. Buck Browser puts these controls in Settings and the browser menu.
What private browsing does
Use a private window on desktop or a private tab on Android for a separate browsing session. Its browsing history stays out of your regular local history. Private browsing stays outside your bookmark sync group.
A private session does not make you anonymous. Websites and your network can still see activity. Files you download or information you deliberately send to a website need their own care. Private browsing and tracker blocking address different parts of privacy.
Local profiles and website permissions
Regular browser profiles store bookmarks, history, cookies and settings on the device. Desktop password storage is local. Use Settings to clear browsing data, manage saved information and review website access to your camera, microphone and location.
Search providers, websites and desktop extensions have their own network activity and privacy practices. DuckDuckGo is the default search engine; another provider can be selected in Settings.
Optional sync and reporting
Bookmark sync is optional and does not require a browser account. Bookmark and folder content is end-to-end encrypted. The relay still receives the identifiers, device labels and status metadata needed to operate the service.
Optional installation reporting in direct-download installations is off by default. It does not include browsing history, bookmarks, passwords or search queries. Automatic update checks are a separate setting. Play Store installations use Play Store for updates.
Read the complete policy
The privacy policy explains update requests, retained sync records, reporting, website analytics and removal requests. Buck Browser is available free for Windows, Linux and Android.
