Where do I download Nirvana?
Use the official Google Play listing for package org.nirvana. The store determines compatibility for your Android device and shows the latest public release details.

No. It limits regular local history after private tabs close. Sites, networks, search providers and signed-in accounts can still see relevant activity.
Does Nirvana use Mozilla services?
Yes, the current build inherits Mozilla account flows and, if enabled, optional diagnostics infrastructure. Data collection defaults reviewed in source are off, but check the installed version and Privacy Notice.
Can I use it on iPhone or desktop?
The currently advertised Nirvana release is Android. The website’s legacy platform pages explain availability; they are not download links for unreleased products.
