Ceno Browser also uses a network of other users in addition to an ordinary Internet connection to keep webpages accessible. Public content can be stored and shared over that network. This makes the browser particularly interesting when websites on your network are blocked or connections are unreliable.

The browser has a public and personal mode. You have to understand that difference before you start. In public mode, visited or shared pages may end up in a publicly accessible register. So don't use that mode as if it were a private window of an ordinary browser. Personal mode prevents that public registration, but may not work as well in the event of blockages.

The version mentioned here concerns Android. Ceno is no guarantee that every website will be accessible and no replacement for an anonymity network. Try it next to your daily browser first, get to know the two modes and see which sharing settings and background measurements match your usage.

Who is it for?

You want to keep access to public information on Android when you block network websites. You're willing to learn the difference between public and personal mode.

Getting started

Use the official Ceno download page and choose the Android release. At the first start, read the explanation of both modes and check out the settings for background measurements before browsing.

Privacy

Public mode shares information through a public network. By default, Ceno collects anonymized usage and network measurements; you can disable them via the background measurement settings. Personal mode does not automatically make you anonymous.

Good to know

Public mode has clear privacy implications. No guarantee of accessibility. Separate method requires habitation

Please note

Do not use public mode for confidential pages. Accessibility depends on the network and available shared content.

Our verdict

Ceno has a clear goal that differs from ordinary daily browsing: to keep information accessible via a shared network. This can be valuable when travelling or restricted on a network. The privacy weighting is at least as important as the extra accessibility. Choose Ceno only when you understand what public mode shares, and keep a trusted daily browser available for ordinary accounts. For only less tracking, another browser is easier.
