Ratings and reviews

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.

First time user frustration. the menu location has a damn points promo icon which I spent more time learning how to get rid of then learning the nuances of the browser. I almost deleted the app because of this which I'm sure some have. once I got all the menu items accessible it's a good browser but even that took restarts. oh you might not figure out how to restart until you get rid of the annoying points icon.

I am officially done with Google. It’s reached a point of being absolutely ridiculous—forcing inaccurate, unverified AI results onto every search without giving us a way to opt out. I never asked for an AI to 'guess' my answers, especially when it’s consistently wrong. ​Having to type '-ai' into every search or hunt for a 'web-only' version just to get a reliable list of links is a waste of time. I’m switching to Brave. It gives you the high-quality results you actually want, but with zero AI.
