About this APK

What's new in v6.24.0

Long-press an image to download it, open it in a new tab or copy its address. Save a page as a PDF or print it, also in pages other apps open. Sharing no longer lists MetaGer itself, and on Android 14 and newer offers both plus a QR code. Translation now works on forums that mislabel their language, no longer translates a page twice, and the screen no longer jumps up and down while you scroll such pages.

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

MetaGer.de is a German meta search engine with a focus on data protection and diversity of results, run by the non-profit SUMA-EV. This app is a full browser built around that search: native, fast, and private by default. • Search your way: switch between web, image, news, science and product search, all in one tap. • Tab groups: keep work, shopping and private browsing apart, each with its own cookies, logins and history — move a tab into another group whenever you like. • Anonymous search: your MetaGer key for ad-free searches is separated from your queries by blind signatures. • Account and top-up without leaving the app: sign in once, or hand your key to another device with a QR code. • Tracker and ad blocking, on from the start. • Set MetaGer as your default browser: links from other apps open here, protected the same way. • Address bar with local history — encrypted on-device, never on a server. • Instant dark, light or system theme. • Open anonymously: view a page in a remote browser without loading it yourself. • No account required, no profile, no advertising IDs. The source code of this app is free (AGPL-3.0).
