Benjamin Levicek Security and privacy is an element that we should put at the top of the imaginary ladder when browsing the web, but also adding posts to social networks or chatting with friends. But sometimes it is difficult to determine which of the used applications are still not risky, and which are already among them that are not quite ideal. If you really care about privacy, then you will like this article. In it, we will show you the applications for iPhone and iPad, where hiding your identity from uninvited developers is the number 1 rule.

DuckDuckGo
In recent years, DuckDuckGo has burst onto the scene at breakneck speed, largely thanks to its search engine. This is because it does not collect data about users, even so, the relevance of the results is getting closer and closer to the "data-free" Google. DuckDuckGo has, among other things, its modern browser that will block ads, the ability to delete the entire history with one click, or you can secure it with Touch ID and Face ID. Of course, there are also modern gadgets included in every application of this kind – individual websites can be added to bookmarks or favorites with one click, and a dark mode is available to save your eyes in the evening. If DuckDuckGo suits you, just set it as the default web browser in the settings of your iPhone or iPad.
You can install DuckDuckGo for free here

TOR - Powered Web Browser + VPN
If you want to be sure that no one will find out a single byte of information about what websites you have been on or what country you are currently in, install TOR - Powered Web Browser + VPN software. With this browser, you can access forbidden sites on the Internet in addition to regular sites. This may be a very tempting proposition for some, but I personally strongly recommend that you avoid these places if you don't know the risks associated with browsing and shopping there. For the functionality of the TOR browser, you will have to reach into your wallet, you will pay 79 CZK per week or 249 CZK per month.

Signal
Communicating with friends is one of the actions that we are particularly inclined to do in the time of the coronavirus. However, it is precisely in this aspect that you would probably not be entirely happy if any technology giant could track you. One of the best encrypted chat programs, which is also free, is Signal. You don't have to worry about him collecting sent messages, media or eavesdropping on calls. However, security does not mean the absence of gadgets - in Signal it is possible to send all kinds of stickers, emojis, delete messages or create group conversations. In recent months, the popularity of Signal has been growing rapidly, so I recommend at least giving it a try.
249 crowns a year, right? That would be damn convenient. 😂
