Ratings and reviews

Love it, finally a good browser with developer tools I can use on my tablet. The support of Extensions is also very welcome. One Downside (that's why only 4/5); it has the feature like many browsers to show an offline version of a website, which is good for quickly opening a site and reading it in the subway with no connection. But this not only works with local sites, but gets forced on them once no internet connection is available, with makes no sense for a local(::01) running service.

No ads and with chrome extensions. But the "hand" button is buggy (scrolls up half a screen higher than the top of the page). There's no way to customize the Address bar. The menu is crippled if the Address bar is on the bottom. The most important setting "exit" (to close the app and all tabs at once) is the last entry instead of firdt entry in the menu. Helpful community in Discord.

Update: Most of the issues that came with the new update have been addressed. But the AMP bypass is so glitchy. When you click on an AMP link, it gets stuck. You have to reload the page to open the link. And if you want to go back, it takes you to the homepage instead of the google searches sometimes. It redirects you 10 times before opening the no-amp link.
