User reviews

I'd give this app the 5 stars it deserves if not for an incident I had with it. Basically, this app lets you make bookmarks, but it doesn't actually save/back them up on the cloud. I un/reinstalled Ecosia for a separate issue, and lost everything. I tried getting back as much as I could to import elsewhere, but it was incompatible. Tech support just said that's how things were. My phone's getting old so is close to retiring, and I don't want to lose 1300+ bookmarks when I have to get a new one.

Great browser alternative, with load times fast as any competition. Have had issues with image results in the past being zoomed in for no reason, but opening image in separate tab seemed to resolve that, and some bugs when they switched up how the tree count looks, which reset my search counter and is still broken, but that isn't a necessary feature so I won't complain. Recent issue of not being able to access image search, so Ill have to lower rating until that's fixed.

It's been great for the most part, but in the last week or two it's been freezing at random and when it does this my entire (brand new, Android 13) device is unresponsive; I just had to do a hard reboot to get control of my phone back. Idk if this has anything to do with Google trying to end all adblocking through Chrome and Chromium, or what. I've recently been seeing some ads too, even with a VPN and this browser.
