“We have also worked the a built-in ad blocker and cryptojacking protection into Opera Touch to keep you browsing safely and without interruptions.”
- Jigsaw Intra (Google subsidiary). DNS security for pre-Android OS 9 devices. I like this app better than the built-in Private DNS feature which doesn’t report anything.
Intra protects you from DNS manipulation, a type of cyber attack used to block access to news sites, social media platforms, and messaging apps. Intra also helps protect you against phishing and malware. It’s easy for anyone to use
