WikiLeaks' Vault 7 opened eyes wider to the possibility of being hacked and spied on by the government. Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden started it all when he leaked top secret documents showing proof that the United States along with other agencies in other countries are involved in a massive surveillance operation of a global scale. Whether the accusations against the Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S. Government, in general, are true or not, it pays to have personal files and information protected from such intrusion of privacy. Tenta for Android is a relatively new browser being promoted as the solution to such issues.
With WikiLeaks claiming that the CIA is capable of cracking the encryptions of messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal, many are understandably worried that their online privacy have been or could be compromised. Apparently, privately browsing data is not entirely safe even if Google's Incognito Mode, the Internet Explorer's InPrivate, or Mozilla Firefox's Private Browsing features are used.
The Tenta Browser is an app that does what other browsers fail to do: completely protect browsing data. According to Forbes, Tenta provides a "real" VPN connection or network by creating a dedicated OpenVPN connection once the app is installed in the Android device. After launching the browser and accessing a web page, the app will connect to its own VPN automatically. Furthermore, Tenta for Android prevents data from being exposed when using public internet connection and requires the user to enter a PIN before accessing the app.
Tenta for Android boasts of not only providing security but also convenience. Tenta still allows users to bookmark, keep Tabs open, download media, and log into trusted sites despite being in incognito which other regular browsers do not provide.
Tenta for Android was designed "from the ground up" specifically to provide true online security. The company claims that its Smart Incognito technology makes the app capable of "true and anonymous browsing".
Online privacy has been a big issue for years now. The release of the WikiLeaks documents comes at the heels of news that Russian intelligence officers are behind the hacking of over half a billion Yahoo accounts. Almost anything can be hacked (except maybe microwaves) nowadays and apps such as Tento for Android may just be the thing needed to prevent such atrocities.
