Flint Mobile
Flint for Android is a mobile web browser that blocks ads and trackers, opens private tabs and shows articles in a clean reader view, without accounts or telemetry.
It is the Android companion to Flint Browser for desktop. The two are separate apps and do not sync with each other.
What it does
- Blocks ads and trackers. A built-in list of about 89,000 ad and tracker domains stops requests to those domains before they load. You see a count for each page and an all-time total, and you can turn blocking off for one site.
- Tabs and private tabs. A tab switcher shows all your tabs. Private tabs keep no history.
- Reader mode shows an article's text without menus and ads, with larger or smaller text and a sepia page.
- One box for search and addresses, with suggestions from your own history and bookmarks.
- Bookmarks, history and downloads, all kept on your phone.
- Find in page, desktop site, share and dark mode, and a home page with your most visited sites.
Who it is for
- Android users who want a browser that blocks ads without extra apps or settings.
- Anyone who prefers that their browsing history stays on the phone.

These pages describe version 1.0.0, the current release.
Flint renders pages with Android's system WebView, the same Chromium engine Chrome uses, so sites look as they do in Chrome.
Privacy
Flint has no account, no sync server and no analytics. The only network requests it makes are the pages and downloads you ask for. History, bookmarks and settings stay on your phone.
