New Review-> Thanks, I figured it out, I just didn't get to the settings area properly, but I found it and adjusted it to where new tabs would open in the background and explored it more and I must say I Like It Very Much, it seems very fast, safe and friendly and it's now my only web browser. Old Review-> Not opening links in new tabs, android 8.1 on LG Rebel. First time it did but new tab just sat there inactive. Second time and on, it wouldn't even bring up a toast box for options.

Just downloaded this superb browser. You can customize the home page, bookmarks, and history is easy access. You can use day or night mode, you can save pages or save them as pdf. I'm so happy with this browser. Bravo to the developers. Hope they keep it free, because financially times are very hard for most of us.

This is a phenomenal app, disables every ad on every site and in turn makes browsing much much faster and less laggy, reason I'm giving it three stars is the range of the settings. There are only two swipe settings except, when watching a video it automatically gives a swipe sound and brightness feature, which I can't disable. I can't swipe down to see my notification bar without turning the sound all the way down and the brightness bar "locked by the app" with no way to disable these two.

There's alot of customization for a browser. I can open so many tabs and not experience too much lag. One thing that does bug me a little is that when I press "Open Image" and try to double tap to zoom in, it doesn't work. I can still pinch to zoom though.

Seemed great, but unfortunately the address bar does not bring up previously visited sites when I start typing in it. It wants to be exclusively a search bar instead, only used as an address bar if I type in the entire URL. This worrying trend of turning address bars into search bars is taking us backwards to the 90s, a time we had to remember and type in entire URLs to go straight to a website.

Brave browser is excellent, but it's Chrome based, and sometimes that's just to ill effect. Pure, is like a fully functional Duckduckgo, and better. Don't believe the reviews that say you can't ___ with it. All functions are present, but for example I had to dig a little bit to save webpage to home screen. It uses the least amount of battery off the above mentioned too

This is the perfect browser for me. It has all the features that I want most in a browser including a small file size, no ads, automatic blocking of ads pop-ups, the ability to download videos and automatic clearing of data upon exit. it better than cm browser and uc mini browser, A lot of thanks to the developer. May this browser be the best browser of choice for many other discerning users.

I made this my default browser because it's so much faster than Chrome on my Android. Some websites come up slowly on it, but I think that's because some websites are busier than others and it takes longer to bring them up no matter which browsers are used. No ads ever pop up on this browser, as opposed to that annoying Chrome pop-up that always comes up telling you there's a newer and better version to download. Pure Web Browser is the best is the best browser I've ever used.

An easy to use fast light browser. Blocks ads better than the big name browsers. This app blocks youtube ads. I thought there was something wrong when youtube videos had a delay when playing ; then I realized it had blocked the ad. It does not keep your data & it also has a private mode (both great for privacy). It allows you to choose your search engine. Choose duckduckgo for added privacy. Go into settings & it takes a screenshot for you, & also can find something in a page for you.

This just might be my forever Android browser! Was using Via for a long time until I just got fed up with the way it acted after recent updates. Switched to Pure Browser to try it out and I'm pleasantly surprised so far! It's faster and more reliable for me, and it even downloaded a few videos from social media that I wanted to have to refer back to later. Developers, don't change a thing! And if you do, only change it for the better. Will update my review as time goes on.

"I'm trying to create a separate home page and keeps telling me: There is not enough space on the screen". Edit: Still getting note on empty screen but i found the icons elswhere. OK, i can live with that. But i think most of us would be really happy if somehow we could pick/adjust the colors of the icons instead of just getting random colors. I have to do it a lot of times each to get the color that blends in (barely) with my home screen icon pack. If you add that function it would be perfect!

BEST BROWSER!! I have tried 10+ browsers trying to get the proper ad-blocking capabilities as well as fast browsing speeds. This app does not disappoint. It actually makes the internet experience better. Pages load lightning fast and ads/pop-ups are hidden from view entirely. Very impressed! -I would love the option for a black background in the themes section as well as the toolbar menus. I have vision issues and this would help me out a lot. Thanks devs!

My #1 browser so far. Recommend it to everyone I meet. File size is pretty good. The ad blocker does actually work exceptionally well, the best available today. The video detecting is also top notch and downloading is easy. The only problem I seem to have, is every so often it seems to not bring up a web page after going back into browser after leaving it. I have to force stop and then reopen it. This does not happen often enough for it not to be my #1 browser though.

After trying many browsers, FINALLY found one I can use in place of the stock Chrome. Clean, simple interface with good features to control privacy levels and functions. Video downloader is great and ad blocker work very well - resulting in fast page loads. Themes are perfect for me as the default one is just a bit washed out. Find I need to restart browser after making config changes but that's minor. What app could use are instructions/help on some of the settings and features. Good job!

This is one of the better browsers I've encountered, having both the ability to save webpages and the ability to change the search engine without having to go into the options menu. Its only issue so far is that the search options, while easy to change, are somewhat limited (and I have yet to find any way to add to them) and that the program seems to ignore changes to download path, as my saved pages are still appearing in the default folder rather than the folder I changed it to in settings.

After 2 weeks of use, I can only give this browser a 5 rating. Lite, fast, non-data hogging, & tools meet my requirements. Have not missed Chrome, Edge, Firefox a bit. Have not experienced any invasive obnoxious ad pop-ups other than static option to install family apps at play store listed as a bookmark on speed dial of default home page. Same as other speed dials. Have not experienced any limitations of browser capability .Great job, Devs!

It blocks the ads but I can't get the video downloader to show up or download the video i want. I've seen it a few times for only a second and then it disappears. I clicked it and it was only downloading the short clips on the side of the screen. 5 stars if you can fix or explain to me how to make it download a video.
