| 2024-12-22 |  | | Don't use this app this app is just a cheap browser with ads everytime you click, and also this app is very slow and has a really bad ui the auto update for this app just waste your memory if you can root your phone I recommend delete this app because it's such a waste of space |
| 2024-12-10 |  | | Not a good app. Intrusive and always seem to override Chrome. If you want to view image or open a new tab this app always launches instead. Probably the last time I will buy a vivo phone. |
| 2024-11-30 |  | | My recommendation don't buy Vivo phone and i'm not suggest anyone buy, just because of this type of app. The browser is very suspicious and dangerous for privacy. It have all permissions granted from start. Even if you turn off all permissions, it will just get them back automatically via system. It can monitor, hear and see actually everything on your phone. Even if you uninstall updates it update automatically. I request to cyber security to take necessary action against this app and company. |
| 2024-11-25 |  | | I can't update this app and what the hell is wrong with this app? Why does it close by itself whenever I click something. This is so frustrating. I wish I could delete this app from my phone. I wish there was option to give 0 stars cuz this app doesn't even deserve one star. Solve this problem!!!!! |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | The browser is very suspicious. It have all permissions granted from start. Even if you turn off all permissions ,it will just get them back automatically via system . It can monitor,hear and see actually everything on your phone. Even if you uninstall updates it update automatically and now way to turn it if anywhere in the phone or here. |
| 2024-10-14 |  | | Although Vivo Browser claims to not collect or share data, I am concerned about its lack of encryption. This leaves user data vulnerable during browsing, posing a serious privacy risk. I recommend enhancing security features, particularly encrypted data transfer, to guarantee a safer browsing experience. Uninstall. I will trying install future, if it's has secure encryption. insha'Allah . But this browser has amazing speed . |
| 2024-10-11 |  | | Using since I bought my mobile back in 2017. I have a pretty good experience, but from the last year some websites are not working well with this browser and, I need to open the links in other browser(Chrome). The main reason is they are not updating the browser as the new technology comes so, that is the main reason sometime it doesn't work as expected. |
| 2024-10-01 |  | | PLEASE STOP AUTO UPDATING THE BROWSER. I prefer the old U, it was so unique and easy to navigate. Now its just trying to be like the other browsers. And it's such an intrusive app. You can't even delete it when it has no use to you. |
| 2024-09-23 |  | | One of the first of the UNWANTED Vivo apps. In UNSURE times itself, dismantled the notifications & permissions, switched off every feat., reduced the battery usage. Disabling option not allowed. It turns on it's own@ ease with all the app permissions, even before I leave the app details page. Also obstructive, intrusive & destructive so as need to come & use this app only. Harassing. So I tried to fall in line.But.. It's mostly full of abusive, irrelevant, repetitive news UNABLE to TURN OFF. |
| 2024-08-22 |  | | I have to agree with others, ads are still getting through, a lot of other issues also but 2 things that broke the deal for me was no way to backup bookmarks, and there's only two search engine options which is Google and Bing. |
