It also inherits the browser's behavior such as tracking protection, shared login info, bookmark sync etc. 🔵 Web Heads - Lynket loads links in floating bubbles and in background. 🔵 Article Mode - Grabs only the content of web pages and presents them in a neat interface. 🔵 AMP - Lynket can find AMP version of page before loading, which can be faster on mobile. 🔵 Per app settings - Configure incognito mode and secondary browser for apps individually. 🔵 Minimize and Tabs - Multitask efficiently using Android's Recents screen.
Other niceties: 🌟 Secondary browser 🌟 Favorite sharing app 🌟 Dynamic toolbar color 🌟 Search suggestions 🌟 Use Overview screen to multitask
Performance: Lynket's implementation of floating bubbles and background loading is vastly superior to other floating browsers due to use of Custom Tabs. It does not hog memory in RAM and respects Android™ Lifecycle.

Comments on Lynket Browser (previously Chr for Android
★★★★★
Love this app! Use it daily, especially to easily open and read articles from my RSS widgets. Really hope the developer doesn't give up on this and just keeps it compatible with OS & browser updates. I'm on Android 10 and still works perfect with Chromium-based browsers Kiwi, Bromite & Vanilla Chromium. Would appreciate more options in reader mode & easier gesture to open tab overview. Also, pls allow opening new tab w/o using Google search

I used to used Lynket, and it helped me to boost my productivity. Sadly, I don't need those features anymore. I'm still giving this a 5 star for all the time it saved me.

Is this app still being developed? Great app. I can use Chrome as main browser & use kiwi browser to render webpages from apps in a custom Chrome tab. Can then use extensions etc. within that cct. Thanks
★★☆☆☆
Did this app get abandoned? Hasn't been updated in quite some time! *Edit* This app still hasn't been updated since 2019... And the little chat bubble style popup doesn't work anymore on Android 11. Very unfortunate. Was a nice app while it was being updated. I suspect it's been abandoned at this point. Ah well. Thx for the awesome app while it still works correctly.
★★☆☆☆
As of the most recent release to date (2022-02-06) of the Brave browser (which I set in Lynket as the renderer), Lynket no longer works. Pages load directly into Brave instead. (Lynket is set as my default browser.) I use Lynket to keep temporary tabs from proliferating in Brave, but that's gone now. Will there be any further updates? It's been a long time. If not, can the devs recommend an up-to-date alternative? It was great while it lasted. 😑 Worth 5 stars while it was working.
★★☆☆☆
NOT A REAL BROWSER. IT FEEDS WEB PAGES TO CHROME. ONE OF THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN. COLOR THEME LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE 🤮🤮 BARFED ON SCREEN🤮🤮!!!!
