Fun zone, 2025-04-26Interesting new tab page, custom backgrounds, easy-to-use, and not cluttered with unnecessary UI. The bookmarks folders/tabs feature is a big plus; makes new tab navigation better than default browsers experience.

Omar Nasr, 2025-04-24used. everything was fine
bought a new laptop. synchronized. surprise! paid version. all your tabs except 5 are blocked. want to find your links - pay.
why should I use what others give for free? why should I pay you so that I can go to my tabs? earn money on something else.
