Android Settings Schema

Beginning with Privacy Browser Android 2.13, there is an option to export and import settings and bookmarks. These settings are stored in an SQLite database. Privacy Browser defaults to using a .pbs (Privacy Browser Settings) file extension, but the import/export algorithm doesn’t care what the extension is. This page documents the database schema.
