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 wish this app had a back button instead of relying on swipes. Also, half the time I can't access my bookmarks or create new ones. The function just doesn't work, the list just doesn't load. My private tabs close randomly, sometimes daily. Really frustrating if I'm in the middle of reading something without having been able to bookmark it.

This is such a good browser, that I had to double check the page on the app store, because I absolutely couldn't believe that this was FREE. I probably won't permanently stop using Google, since, it's Google, but this is the only Browser that got me to at least consider changing platforms. Amazing adblock BTW, but it doesn't work on everything
