## Review summary

User reviews converge on fast speed and strong privacy with a clean, minimalist UI, but note recurring downsides: ads and pricing/refund frustrations, lack of dark mode, tab persistence issues, and occasional privacy concerns due to search-engine switching.

### Pros

- Very fast performance.
- Strong privacy protections.
- Minimalist, fast, and easy-to-use UI.
- Considered one of the better private browser apps.
- Some users appreciate free upgrade/promo offers.

### Cons

- Ads are frequent, including startup ads and an overall ad-heavy experience.
- Upgrade/purchase and refund issues (charged incorrectly under a promo; refund options unclear).
- Missing dark mode / requests for a forced dark mode on pages.
- Tabs/session persistence issues (losing state when the app is closed).
- Inconsistent search engine behavior (randomly switching from Google to Bing) and related privacy concerns.
