For a company that cites Privacy Protection as one of its key USPs, Jolla definitely needs to improve the browser. In-Private browsing is nothing. I want to block trackers and be able to set duckduckgo as the standard search engine.
As it is, the Jolla Browser definitely accepts trackers. What's more, you can't even clear the cookies or get rid of them otherwise. Highly annoying.
On Android you can now download the Ghostery browser. Maybe it also works for SFOS.

I changed it to 2, so that cookies are automatically deleted when I close the browser.
