I am using Essential Phone PH-1 running Android 10. Not only does it save on valuable space (128GB internal non-expandable storage). But one of the Essential phone's quirks is not many apps take advantage of using the notch area. But this app does! I have gotten rid of most apps and just used the web version apps it creates. And seeing them all use the notch area is very satisfying. So far no issues (been using it for almost a month now). Keep up the great work. I will be buying the app soon! Edited

Maybe I'm missing something... There are just too many websites that won't load at all or will not let you sign into. I don't even use the content blocker or any other restrictive settings that would interfere with the functioning of the webpage on my end. There is something about the browser that doesn't interact with webpages the way all my other browsers do. Never had these issues before. Really like the concept of lite apps and sandboxes, but I can only use it with around half of pages. Edited

Hello, can you please Send Feedback via the app, and include any specific URLs that don’t seem to work? We can then try to diagnose and see what the issue might be. We encourage you to reach out directly, instead of via reviews, so you can send us more details, and we can send you detailed info (not just 350 characters). Thanks!

I use this app in place of the largest personal data collection app out there. It starts with an "F". Let me tell you, if you don't have the premium version, get it! It was a little clunky and would freeze up and stop responding quite often (still worth it to not have the real app 😆) with the free version, but on a whim I decided to purchase....90% of the "clunkiness" went away. And oh yeah, "sponsored ads", once you figure out how to use scriptlets...bye bye to those! Support this developer!

Three years later, still using this almost daily. It just works. I don't even think about it - some of my apps just happen to load using Hermit, and again, they just work. In all this time, they've also never pushed a breaking change, so it's stable. Highly recommend experimenting with this on different sites and seeing how it fits your workflow. Edited

You can stop trackers. That's good, of course, but where this browser excels is in what you can do that websites wish you couldn't. It is so worth getting to know this browser! It's not like anything else out there, so if you're into “ just like everything else“ skip this one. If you want to control what happens when you go to websites, and not having the websites control you, this is your browser. I'm still learning it, and it's already my default browser. Make it yours.
