Boat Browser 8.7

Search the internet, navigate through multiple tabs, use the incognito mode

One of the main apps on any smartphone is an internet browser. But people tend to use them extensively, so it's no wonder that they continuously search for improvements. So whenever you get bored with your browser's overall appearance or want new features, try Boat Browser. It comes with many themes and tools that you can use.

Lightweight browser with some themes

The app's interface is really easy-to-use, with all tools neatly arranged in a toolbar at the bottom of the screen and a menu on the right side. You can add whichever shortcut you want to the menu, to make it easier to find all the information you need. In addition, the toolbar can be hidden as to provide more space.

Boat Browser offers new users plenty of instructions, as well as themes to choose from. Some of them come with the app, while others need to be installed afterwards, but they are free. You can navigate through tabs at the top of the screen and even have some tabs 'float' outside the toolbar. You can open up to 32 tabs at once with this browser.

Search the internet and customize your browser

The app comes with quick suggestions of the most popular social, news and entertainment websites that you can access with one tap. Your search history is easy to access, by sliding to the right.

Set your search engine by choosing from the top available out there. You can set the app provide you with search suggestions or voice command, and enable gestures to make it easier to navigate.

Text scaling can also be adjusted and you can have the app block pop-up ads or enable plugins. There's also a list of free add-ons that you can choose from. Developers paid careful attention to privacy settings. There's the incognito mode that you can use to search the web safely or you can disable location, passwords or cookies.

Sync bookmarks with Firefox

The app comes with a night mode that lets you adjust screen brightness. Bookmarks are neatly arranged in their own section, you can filter them by date or visit count and you also have the option of synching them with Firefox or importing them from your other browser.

Use Google Drive to backup and restore bookmarks. The app comes with plenty of other features, like a webpage translator, QR scanner, shortcuts for taking screenshots and sharing links.
