Ratings and reviews

Why does this get five stars? Because in settings, you can set it to text only which means that you don't download the advertising & pictures which uses so much data if you are on that kind of plan. I have TracFone which I love and this app allows me to read anything I want without using all the data. You go into settings and set it to text only. If you want to get out of the app and be returned where you were, you just keep hitting the left key

A great Lynx-like browser and better IMO than Violoncello. I regularly use Browsor in text-only mode to read the news. Some sites don't work properly, probably because the site is doing something shady & clever towards people like me, but most sites work great. Paywalls are not a problem. No videos. No ads. Just a wonderful wall of text. Yes, sometimes you need to scroll a while before you reach the actual content but once you do it looks just the same as if you were reading a paper newspaper.

Best browser that I have used. 1. Stable doesn't glitch 2. Has dark theme 3. Not addictive, I use text only option 4. I used it in a simple way, by using google as a link opening browser and this is the browser that it open because I have set it to deafult. 5. Simple, no fuss, doesn't remind you to pay the app to use more features. 6. All free, no limit to browse.
