UpToDown Android app (italics mine):
The official application of Uptodown for Android operating systems. With this app, you can quickly access descriptions, screenshots, and of course, complete apps. In addition, it allows you to always have the latest updates and versions of every app.
Every Content. Limitless apps, betting apps, multimedia apps, and competitors from any sector or area.
Every Country. Completely free and global access without region restriction, like political or business limitations.
Every Device. You don’t need Google Play services, in fact you can download and install any app just from your browser.
Every User. No google registration required, no email, account, credit card or payments. Just you.
From the main interface of Uptodown Android, you can see the app of the day and all important news, including new apps and updates. Also, below the image of the app of the day, you can find a dropdown menu with direct access to all of the Android categories: video games, messenger apps, video players, office software… if you’re looking for any app, it is going to be here.
Because Uptodown stores more than a thousand different APKs, the app gives you the possibility to access both older versions of some apps and others that are not available on Google Play. This means that you have the option to install older (and possibly more stable) versions of practically any app. You just have to scroll down to the bottom of a file to see all of the versions available.
Thanks to this feature, Uptodown Android offers the possibility to do a ‘rollback’ of any app. For example, let’s say you updated Twitter to the latest version and you don’t like it. No problem. You simply download the previous version from its file in Uptodown and problem solved.
Uptodown Android is an interesting alternative to other application download services like Google Play because it not only lets you download thousands of different apps, but also older versions of the same apps. In addition, Uptodown displays ‘neutral screenshots’ instead of the traditional screenshots offered by many developers. Thanks to this, users always know what they’re downloading with just a glance.

New phone again, Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, they're getting bigger ;D
Anyway, a browser I've been using for a while: Frost
Has a password protected vault for your bookmarks and any saved images, unlocked by entering a pin/password as you would a web address, ie. if your pin is 1234 you just enter that as the web address in a tab, the vaults become unlocked and any previous session tabs can be restored.
When you exit, all history is removed and the vaults lock.

According to Google Play, Frost was last updated in November 2014. That's more than a year ago. A very long time for a browser.

All I wanted was a browser that displayed 98% of the websites, didn't leave your bookmarks on view, didn't require wading through a bucket load of options just to find the one that said "Clear on exit", and didn't require 30+MB of storage to do it in.
After looking at other privacy browsers I settled on Frost because it does it all in under 9MB.
Think of it as the bog-standard Android browser with privacy - plus it didn't cost me anything.
