This is a great browser for business/finance interests, especially for those into crypto, banking and financial AI application. It offers lots of leading news feeds in these areas from specialty journals. I'm getting insights and research ideas I haven't found anywhere else. With Wize Ad Blocker, It is very fast and blocks most ads. The only barrier you'll run into is a lot of pay walls in the freeware version, which are not this app's doing, but the original sources'.

Wize is seriously one of my favorite browsers of all time. I use about 4 to 5 different browsers on rotation, wize being in my top 3 because of the user friendly interface, advanced bookmarking features, the points system, the news page, and a bunch of other unique features that really make Wize one of my top choices! The only thing I would change is the fact that there are somenportions of the browser that u have to pay for premium to use! I think browsers should be free to use! No paywalls!!

So far so good! I've been using it over chrome the last few days and haven't had any issues. The difference is sometimes I like to add a page I'm reading to my home screen and I can't do that. Not a big issue though. Besides that it's been perfect! Results come up fast, my passwords, auto fill can still be used. No issues,.crashes, anything like that. Works just as good as Chrome but with this you can earn rewards! Love it so far 👍👍
