About this app

Glow Browser is a fast, lightweight mobile browser built for everyday browsing, with privacy controls and productivity features baked in from the start.

MULTIPLE TABS, DONE RIGHT
- Open as many tabs as you need, organize them into named groups, and switch between them from a visual tab grid with live page previews.
- Closed a tab by mistake? Reopen it in one tap from Recent Tabs.
- Incognito tabs keep their browsing activity off your history, with no trace left behind after you close them.

BUILT-IN AD BLOCKER AND PRIVACY TOOLS
- A built-in content blocker filters out common ad and tracking domains for a cleaner, less cluttered browsing experience.
- Turn on third-party cookie blocking for extra protection against cross-site tracking.
- Switch between a top or bottom address bar, whichever is easier to reach one-handed.

SEARCH YOUR WAY
- Type, speak, or snap a photo: Glow supports text search, on-device voice search, and image search through your favorite search or photo app.
- Choose your preferred default search provider from the settings.
- Get smart search suggestions as you type.

BROWSE HOW YOU LIKE
- Request the desktop version of any site when you need the full layout instead of the mobile one.
- Open PDF links directly in the browser, and download them for offline reading.
- Tap a phone number, email address, or map link on a page, and it opens right in your phone, mail, or maps app.
- Customize your New Tab page: pick your own shortcuts, and turn the article feed and quick links on or off.
- Choose a light, dark, or system theme, and personalize your accent color.

STAY ORGANIZED
- Bookmarks, browsing history, and downloads are all one tap away.
- Clear exactly the browsing data you want to remove - history, cookies, cache, or bookmarks - with simple checkboxes.
- A built-in downloads manager lets you track, open, and manage your files without leaving the app.

DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY
- Tabs you haven't used in a while are automatically put to sleep to save memory and battery, without closing them.
- A distraction-free interface keeps the focus on the page you're reading.

PERMISSIONS, EXPLAINED
Glow Browser only asks for the device permissions it actually uses: microphone access for voice search, camera or photo library access for image search, and location access only for map-based pages that request it (like showing your position on a map). Nothing else is collected or requested beyond what each feature needs.

Glow Browser is under active development, and we're always working on making it faster, lighter, and more useful. If something isn't working the way you expect, or you have an idea for a feature, we'd love to hear from you through the Help and feedback option in the app menu.
