Review summary

User feedback centers on strong privacy emphasis but widespread reliability problems. The app is praised for privacy-first design and user enthusiasm, yet many reviews report persistent connectivity failures, bugs after updates, confusing alpha-version changes, and feature removals. Some users also report content blocking and UX friction. Overall, privacy is valued, but stability and usability issues dominate this alpha release.

Pros

Privacy-first design with default privacy protections and anti-surveillance features.
High user satisfaction and positive sentiment from reviews (great app, badass, five-star ratings).
Privacy safeguards like restricted screenshots to prevent data leakage.
Perceived strong networking capabilities when it works.

Cons

Frequent connectivity issues and pages failing to load.
Bugs and instability, especially after updates.
Alpha-version UX/UI issues, confusing sign-in/configuration, missing icons, and feature removals.
Content blocking/censorship or conflicts with other websites/browsers affecting access.
Compatibility changes and removed features (e.g., Android 7 support, missing bookmark export/import).
