Several users also allege misleading ad claims or raise security/fraud concerns. ### Pros - Supports background audio / can play YouTube in the background (mentioned positively by several users) - Some users find the app simple and easy to use (multiple short positive reviews: “Good”, “Just Great”, “nice app”) - Useful for listening to YouTube without a Premium subscription (stated by more than one reviewer) ### Cons - Frequently fails to open, crashes, or shows bugs on install—several reports specifically on Samsung devices - Background playback is unreliable and stops every few minutes for some users - Missing or limited features: no full-screen/video player, deletes website on exit, and issues pasting links reported - Trust and reliability concerns: multiple users called the app fake, complained about ads despite ad-free claims, or raised malware/fraud suspicions ## Similar extensions and apps - [Web Browser - Fast & Private](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.messok.browser) — 5,557 users - [Go Browser - Safe & Fast](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.web.pri.go.browser) — 951,206 users, 4.76 / 5 - [Private Browser: Safe Internet](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.venus.browser) — 3,253,284 users, 4.10 / 5 - [Internet Browser](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fastxbrowser.privatexbrowser) — 87,938 users - [Brisk Browser: Security & Lite](https://chrome-stats.com/d/brisk.lite.browser) — 39,423 users, 3.14 / 5 - [Brisk Browser: Fast & Private](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bip.browser.formus) — 69,175 users, 3.13 / 5 - [EasyBrowser - Fast & Private](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.area.easy.browser) — 81,282 users, 4.33 / 5 - [Web Browser - Fast & Private](https://chrome-stats.com/d/fast.private.secure.browser) — 4,636,448 users, 4.46 / 5 - [Private Browser & Downloader](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ls.entertainment.browser) - [Internet Browser Pro](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.talananky.pbpro24) — 452 users - [Smart Browser - AI & Private](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ai.next.web.browser) — 530,744 users, 4.64 / 5 - [Private Browser - Web Browser](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.eagle.web.browser.internet.privacy.browser) — 784,134 users, 4.14 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bro.browser)
