| 2024-09-25 |  | | Easy to use. Simple UI. Easy to clear out history. A little different than other browsers in moving through tabs.Search engine choices. So far, able to access websites of interest to me. Downloaded requested file prompt displayed on top of home page. Tap to view. (Didn't know I didn't need to go to the download page to view.) Just tap to Small file size. Not aware of any "help" or "how to use" feature for this browser. Why I chose? Small file size, privacy features, simple UI, good reviews. |
| 2024-07-19 |  | | Switching from light to dark mode is a total joke. I literally have to copy the URL and then paste it back in after switching to light mode and back. Reason being is because once you do that it erases days worth of activity and puts you back to a website you visited weeks ago. Really fun to do all these extra steps just to read text. |
| 2024-05-06 |  | | It blocks the ads but I can't get the video downloader to show up or download the video i want. I've seen it a few times for only a second and then it disappears. I clicked it and it was only downloading the short clips on the side of the screen. 5 stars if you can fix or explain to me how to make it download a video. |
| 2024-04-04 |  | | After 2 weeks of use, I can only give this browser a 5 rating. Lite, fast, non-data hogging, & tools meet my requirements. Have not missed Chrome, Edge, Firefox a bit. Have not experienced any invasive obnoxious ad pop-ups other than static option to install family apps at play store listed as a bookmark on speed dial of default home page. Same as other speed dials. Have not experienced any limitations of browser capability .Great job, Devs! |
| 2023-10-21 |  | | Just updated after ALL my bookmarks disappeared.. AGAIN! NOW the dark/night mode no longer works on this app! I backed up the app before updating, but it won't let me rollback to the version when dark mode was working ;( Boooo! Be sure to backup your Bookmarks frequently!!!! There is still a bug in the app that will delete ALL your bookmarks without warning!! With no hope of recovery. No corrupted file to attempt recovery; nothing. |
| 2023-02-28 |  | | Just downloaded this superb browser. You can customize the home page, bookmarks, and history is easy access. You can use day or night mode, you can save pages or save them as pdf. I'm so happy with this browser. Bravo to the developers. Hope they keep it free, because financially times are very hard for most of us. |
| 2022-12-19 |  | | This is a phenomenal app, disables every ad on every site and in turn makes browsing much much faster and less laggy, reason I'm giving it three stars is the range of the settings. There are only two swipe settings except, when watching a video it automatically gives a swipe sound and brightness feature, which I can't disable. I can't swipe down to see my notification bar without turning the sound all the way down and the brightness bar "locked by the app" with no way to disable these two. |
| 2022-07-23 |  | | An easy to use fast light browser. Blocks ads better than the big name browsers. This app blocks youtube ads. I thought there was something wrong when youtube videos had a delay when playing ; then I realized it had blocked the ad. It does not keep your data & it also has a private mode (both great for privacy). It allows you to choose your search engine. Choose duckduckgo for added privacy. Go into settings & it takes a screenshot for you, & also can find something in a page for you. |
| 2022-05-28 |  | | This just might be my forever Android browser! Was using Via for a long time until I just got fed up with the way it acted after recent updates. Switched to Pure Browser to try it out and I'm pleasantly surprised so far! It's faster and more reliable for me, and it even downloaded a few videos from social media that I wanted to have to refer back to later. Developers, don't change a thing! And if you do, only change it for the better. Will update my review as time goes on. |
| 2022-01-15 |  | | Seemed great, but unfortunately the address bar does not bring up previously visited sites when I start typing in it. It wants to be exclusively a search bar instead, only used as an address bar if I type in the entire URL. This worrying trend of turning address bars into search bars is taking us backwards to the 90s, a time we had to remember and type in entire URLs to go straight to a website. |
