Ratings and reviews

I like the browser overall. Two points that kept me from giving 5 stars. First, it randomly closes. Second, when I change websites through the bookmarks, it always opens a new tab. I haven't found a way to avoid that. I knocked off a couple more stars. The program crashes randomly multiple times a day. I thought it was because I was in the beta program so opted out but still happening.

Update: Recent update made the experience more pleasant. I'm no longer waiting minutes waiting on a page to load. VPN connection isn't stable for long periods of time though. Original: It's more frustrating than not. Occasionally it performs as expected, but there are moments when I try to open a random page and nothing is happening for minutes on end. I do enjoy the privacy the browser offers and other encryption utilities, but these random wait moments are not letting me enjoy the experience.

Too many irritating problems and I'm uninstalling. When I click on a link and the browser opens, the page doesn't load. I have to manually copy and paste the link or jump through some other hoop. Often, the browser will behave as-if there's no internet connection when there is. No improvement after most recent update. I've been unable to complete captchas but have success in other browsers, etc. I want to like it and I tried but I just can't... I don't need the aggrevation.
