1) There are FAR too few updates!! 2) Too many crashes. Question for Dev...when or is this browser ever going to get regular updates?? 3) There's no way to shut off the ability of the browser to detect your location!! This is something that should be OFF by default! But shutting it off is not even an option! It's outrageous! A HUGE privacy violation.

When I set this browser to Private mode (to purge history) it needs to remain set to that PERMENANTLY unless I change it again. This most important feature sometimes switches off unexpectedly. Super annoying. Also, when l choose full screen video it needs to be completely full screen without the unusual black bar along the bottom. This happens EVERY time. It needa to be fixed.

Great alternative (additional) browser. I appreciate the privacy & ad-blocking, etc. it provides. I've had it for years & have been v happy with it. In an age in which user data is being collected (often willingly! Or forcibly, in exchange for the use of an app) to an unprecedented extent, it's becoming more & more important to maintain some semblance of privacy & control over what data one chooses to share (for a growing number, that's as little as possible). Ghostery contributes to that cause
