Browse with a Private Space

Create a Private Space when the browsing session should not become part of normal durable browser state.

Private Spaces use non-persistent website storage. They do not write normal history or participate in ordinary Crest sync. Closing the private session discards its transient pages and website data.

Add device authentication

You can require Touch ID, Face ID, or the device passcode before opening a protected Private Space. Crest can relock protected content when the app leaves the foreground so another person cannot return to it from the app switcher.

What private browsing does not do

Private browsing does not make you anonymous to websites, your network, an employer, or an internet provider. Files you download and information you deliberately share with a site can still leave the browser. Use the feature to control local browser persistence, not as a promise of network anonymity.
