The Play Store is replete with browsers of all sorts from developers across the globe. Some are great and some are so-so!
Startpage on the other hand, is a great, simplistic and well-thought-out app.

Accessibility and User Comments:
I find the app to be accessible with no issues. If there is something that isn’t accessible, I haven’t come across such. Note that actions are not supported.
If you happen to be one of those that worries about security and privacy when browsing the internet, this may be the browser you may be after. I particularly like the simplistic approach of the app without getting cluttered with unnecessary features. in the main UI, all that one comes across, is the “edit field” across the top and to the right of that are 2 buttons: “Switch or close tabs” and “Customize and control Startpage” where further customization and the like are found in the “Settings.”
