About MetaGer: Search & Browser
MetaGer.de is a German meta search engine with a focus on privacy and variety 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).
What's new in 6.26.0
"Erase data after" now really clears a group's cookies, history and downloads on schedule, and the history screen opens quickly even with a long history. The standard group can now be switched to private mode, so the browser starts fresh every time you open it: no history, no restored tabs, and cookies and logins are deleted — your settings, bookmarks and key are kept. Reopening the app after a while shows the tab you left again, even in another group.
