User Reviews

User reviews cluster around a few recurring issues and features. The positives center on background YouTube playback and ad blocking, plus a sense of nostalgia for Dolphin as a feature-rich browser. The major negatives are persistent Yahoo defaulting, removal/breakage of background playback, ad blocking failures, broken tab behavior (no new tabs; opens in Safari), and settings that fail to persist. Overall, reliability has declined despite some loyal sentiment.
Pros
  • Background playback of YouTube videos/music (a primary feature cited by users).
  • Ad blocking capability (valued by users when functioning).
  • Nostalgia/loyalty toward Dolphin as a long-standing, feature-rich browser.
Cons
  • Default search engine resets to Yahoo and cannot stay on Google.
  • Background playback feature has been removed or no longer works.
  • Ad blocking no longer works (ads slip through).
  • Links cannot be opened in a new tab; long-press opens in Safari, breaking multi-tab workflow.
  • Settings (default search/homepage) are not saved or repeatedly reset.
Recent reviews
The menus and icons do not work, and the email support is no longer a recognizable address. Why is the website and product still online? There is no service.

lol the fact that I Am genuinely upset about the reviews and the rating for this browse is actually insane. It actually blows my mind. The past 6 years ever since I have discovered this engine whenever I have something important I have to figure out, a problem I have to solve, reputable information that I have to gather, anything related to an engine that does not filter the truth I have ONLY used this search engine. There is no way if I am in a serious situation they are the only browser I have EVER found to have given me what NO OTHER browser Has ever given me information that is NOT available in any other engine AT ALL. this is an amazing company, there are “famous engines” that are constantly under fire for violating our human rights and policies and it flies under the radar but when the engine, the browser that delivers is not getting the recognition it deserves like are you kidding me? I’m honestly shocked by this and I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t go to download it on my actual phone so I am glad I did but wow. DOLPHIN please sponsor me let me share the million reasons why your engine is better than google and share it with the average early 30s population who either have no clue about it or just do not know the drastic impeccable difference in information that is provided from the dolphin browser vs any other browser. People please stop coming for dolphin they are literally the best engine and they need to be known for exactly that. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. 5 stars 6 years ago, stars right now and 5 stars 6 years from now.
