About this app

Amaze is the best browser for watching & downloading online videos. It's lightweight, has built-in ad-blocker, built-in download manager, Chromecast support, and a list of good features:

- Capture videos, mp3 and other audio types as you browse the web with no time delays

- Save video/audio links, so you can use them later without re-visiting the webpages

- Fast download videos/mp3 by using multithreading (increase the download speed into several times), built-in download manager, allow pause, resume downloads. There's also an option to use system default or third party download managers on your device

- Support Chromecast - allow you to cast videos to your TV through regular Chromecast, or listen to your favorite music with Chromecast Audio. Allow you to set the cast title and subtitle on the notification, which will give you a bit more privacy, as cast notification appears on all devices in the same WIFI network

- Use the captured video/audio links with other apps - this great feature gives you more flexibility - to open them directly with the best video/audio players, in a floating window with a floating video player, or redirect them through other apps to Kodi, Raspberry Pi, Smart TV etc.

- Built-in Ad-blocker - get rid of annoying ads on websites and let you focus on the main content, has adblock - whitelist to allow certain sites to show ads

- Bubble/popup browser mode - When you click on a link from other apps, Amaze Bubble loads that webpage in the background, not interrupting your workflow with the current app. You can also search or enter address, access your bookmarks directly in bubble mode, switch between bubble mode and full browser mode without reloading a single webpage.

Ratings and reviews

Amazing is exactly what this is! It's a little tricky at first to zero in on your content, especially when you're getting it from a site that throws up a bunch of ads, but the media button at the bottom makes it easier. It's nice to start the stream in the casting device and keep your phone for yourself. So much smoother and higher quality than just mirroring the screen.

Needs: 1. return to previous page option in configuration without total reload so you dont have to rescroll the previous full page to get back to your reading point. 2. Dark reading mode. That white background is a eye killer. 3. ads pop up by long press to tag a site ad or button to have it blocked. This would make the ads blocker 100% more efficient. Buttons have url links to be able to be blocked too. Banners and othe site junk also. Speeds up browsing by 30-50%.. Great app just needs tweaks.

Huh. "Media detection mode" essentially one of their biggest selling points. Also the ONLY reason I downloaded this browser... and media detection does not work at all. It cannot detect media on any webpage. None. You know guys, if you're going to call it "media detection mode" then perhaps it should be able to... ya know... actually detect media.
