Ratings and reviews

Happy with the turn on option of the multiple blocking of pop-ups coming from various countries (wording as the language spoken in the country, ie. Chinese, Russian, etc....). It is so annoying to search for something benign as a recipe and constant pop-ups repeated appear while you're viewing ingredient list. I have had to literally close out the annoying pop-ups over and over again without even quickly looking as the ingredient list because pop-ups appear that rapidly.

I love this browser! Great blocker of all things ad! However, PLEASE get this thing to stop reloading videos! I don't always watch long videos in one sitting. When I go back to the video, the video reloads and goes back to the start. It happens on my phone and tablet. It is irritating to have to figure out where I left off almost every single time. I usually have to take a mental note about where I paused. It would also be nice if we could have skins like Firefox did years ago.

I've been using this browser for a long time now, and would have rated it 5 stars for most of that time, but an issue has come up recently: I can only block 5 websites at a time. Given the insane amount of AI websites that are at the top of search results, 5 websites is egregiously inadequate. Unfortunately this means I may need to change browsers to one that permits a larger block list, because nearly every search is worthless AI slop. However, this seems like a very easy thing to improve.
