Gee

A private browser for Android. No accounts. Nothing sent to us.

Gee blocks ads and trackers, opens articles in reader view and follows sites with RSS. Every tab is private, and Burn wipes your browsing in one tap.

What Gee does

Gee is a web browser for Android that keeps your browsing to yourself. It is built on GeckoView, Mozilla's browser engine.

Private by default

Every tab is private. Cookies and the page cache are held in memory, and Gee deletes site data when you press Burn, when you close the app and again the next time it starts. Burn wipes your tabs, cookies, site data and history in one tap. Gee can also burn by itself after 15 minutes or an hour in the background.

Ads and trackers blocked

uBlock Origin is built in, with its filter lists packaged inside the app. Lists never update on their own: Gee contacts the list servers only when you tap “Update lists now”. Cookie banners are hidden too. You can turn blocking off for a site that breaks, turn off JavaScript for a site, or block a site's cookies.

Hide what you don't want

Long-press part of a page to hide it. Gee remembers the rule for that site.

Reader view

Open an article in a clean, readable layout, with a choice of text size and light, dark or sepia pages. Stories from your feeds can open straight in reader view.

RSS feeds

Follow a site's feed and read new stories on your start page or in the Feeds screen. Paste a site's address and Gee finds its feed. Save a story for later with a swipe. Feeds are fetched directly from each site, without cookies.

Your data stays on your phone

The things you choose to keep (favourites, followed feeds, saved stories, hide rules and your per-site settings) are stored only on your phone, encrypted with keys held in Android's Keystore. History is off unless you turn it on. When it is on, each entry is encrypted, and reading it back needs your fingerprint or screen lock. Gee is excluded from cloud backup and device transfer.
