Comments on Hermit — Lite Apps Browser for Android

★★★★☆ Devil Don't play · Jun 12, 2026

An EXCELLENT app to run many smaller, lighter on your system, "mini web apps" that are also IDEAL because they don't require EXTRA PERMISSIONS or advanced setup and/or they won't have hidden permissions/hidden trackers, advertising, etc. Mini apps can also be BACKED UP. It even has the option of using "bookmarklets" (ex. tamper monkey or violent monkey scripts...) for JavaScript modification of various websites, and there are even a few pre-installed. Ad blocking BUILT-IN. MiniApp Sandboxing too.

I wanted a lite browser that would work like Kiwi (discontinued) for Web Apps. This perfectly fits the bill!

★★☆☆☆ Sorin · Apr 3, 2026

For my purposes I like weblog better. More modern ui and simpler interface and settings. And a lot cheaper (I didn't get my money's worth from hermit). The UI feels slow and unintuitive sometimes. Little hiccups like black screen when going back from a web app or no space for status bar in full screen or links not opening properly inside web apps. Maybe it's an enthusiast's heaven, but I don't have time to figure out all the little gimmicks of hermit or read pages of tutorials on the internet

For the most part it works, but ads are slipping through on FB, just started recently maybe needs an update. Update happened sponsored ads still getting through, too many ads again

★☆☆☆☆ Nithin Anand Gangadharan · Feb 5, 2026

Most sites don't function well. The idea of the app is great but seems to be poorly implemented. I brought the paid version to containerize my social media apps. But most of the sites never worked or has a pretty broken experience making it unusable. Fb, TikTok, epic games all don't work. I do understand that these sites are also at fault to not optimizing it for mobile. But I fail to see the point of this app if you are not able to figure out how to get these popular sites working well.
