Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 94.24 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Dominik Hebeler" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

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).
