Ratings and reviews

Good browser especially because it supports extensions. Add button to easily add speedials straight from the bottom bar without having to copy the web address on the clipboard. Also add function to sync bookmarks, settings and speedials or just add a backup and restore function. It's a lot of work to keep going to setting and adding all speed dials all over again with each installation.

This is amazing! I love all the features! But I need ″Clear selected data on exit″ to make sure there is no trace on the browser. I hate it when I have to clear data first before I exit the browser. And, there should be an option to ″Add to shortcuts″ when I opened a website, so I don't need to manually copy the url just to create a shortcut on the homepage. Overall, this is great!

Very good app, would rate it 5⭐, it combines both Extensions/Night Mode (like Firefix) and Tab Groups (like Chrome). BUT: It has already 2 times (in maybe 3 month) got really slow, and displayed websites just black. The first time I fixed it by resetting the complete app (reinstalling) then it worked again, but I'm not willing to set up my browser newly every 1-2 month, so just 2⭐, good concept, bad app.
