User Reviews

Users praise the app for its strong privacy stance, speed, and straightforward use, with occasional praise for reading paywalled content and beating other privacy browsers. However, the app suffers from reliability issues (crashes, hangs, and unexpected exits), data loss on leaving or after resets, a lack of saving or settings, and an ad-heavy model with subscription pressure. Some reviews also raise security concerns. Overall, it shows promise as a privacy-focused browser but needs significant stability and UX improvements to be reliable.

Pros

Privacy-friendly design that helps hide activity from others
Fast, simple, and user-friendly when it works
Good for reading articles and sometimes bypassing paywalls
Efficient history deletion/private browsing features
Generally favorable compared with other privacy-focused browsers

Cons

Frequent stability issues: crashes, hangs, and unexpected exits to the App Store
Data loss on leaving the app or after device resets (lost saved sites and passwords)
No history, no saved data, and a lack of settings or customization
Intrusive ads and a subscription model to remove them
Security concerns raised by users (malware warning)
