It's soooo good. I don't surf the web that often. What I demand from a web brower is its fast boot time over feature set. I recently upgraded my phone after 4 years using the same device. I was sad when I noticed Jelly Browser (LineageOS old stock browser) didn't work on Android 10. The options for "lightweight" browsers I found on the web were honestly lame; so I decided to comb the Play store myself in hopes of finding gold, and, after ditching dozens of presumably scam apps, I found this gem!
★★★★★
Please let the browser remember current tabs after exit! Please! And please let it remembers position on the website after reloading page/reopen app. Best!
★★★★★
Quick and nifty open source browser. Dev: changing homepage should be (also) done in settings
★★☆☆☆
I like the "not google" part, for privacy. But I cannot change my home page, so I'm stuck loading some GitHub page at every launch. And I cannot see how to move the address bar to the top, like EVERY OTHER BROWSER has. That willful difference seems like some stupid "look! We're special!" nonsense.
★★☆☆☆
Why I can't change the start page? And I cannot enter any site it just reloads your GitHub page o.O
★★☆☆☆
I came from Chrome. Particularly 2 issues: (i) Enter URL in Address Box, press enter. Page starts loading. Meanwhile, press the tab button (one that shows all opened tabs) and the page stops loading then and there. Happens with all sites. (ii) I was going to submit above issue on GitHub, but another bug stopped me from doing it. Open any page which is very long. Keep reading it and scrolling. After few minutes, press the tab button and App freezes and automatically crashes. Highly inefficient.
