CM Browser 5.20.10
CM Browser is another one of their creations, a really fast and secure web browser designed specially for Android smartphones.
Sleek interface that makes browsing a pleasure
We've tested our fair share of browser apps and concluded that it's important for such apps to access webpages fast and provide extra protection while surfing online.
CM Browser comes with a tutorial that provides all sort of instructions and tips, showing users all the neat things they can do with the app. It doesn't really have many customization features, but it comes with a night mode and the option of enabling the full screen.
The app uses a preload mechanism to speed up browsing and it supports user agent switching to access desktop sites. The home screen comes with a speed dial letting users add shortcuts in order to access their favorite websites faster.
Browse the web easily
Aside from fast browsing, it also makes it easy to surf the web because of its tabs system. It arranges them into a stack of cards, adding animation to the list of its features. It lets users bookmark pages or add shortcuts to the home screen.
Moreover, it can also translate pages that are in another language or it finds various words in pages. You can also pick the default download location or adjust the home content display and have the app also show weather conditions.
Users may also change the default search engine and pick one of the many listed in the app. You can search for items easily using the voice input feature. You can add shortcuts to your most visited websites on the home screen.
Enhanced security features
Many browsers now come with an incognito feature which blocks the app from recording the history of your searches, collecting cookies and cache data, which is quite advantageous for users. CM Browser also comes with that, but it has even some more extra features.
It warns you when browsing potentially fraudulent or malicious websites or scans apk file downloads for malware, keeping your device secure. There are also do-not-track settings and users have the option to keep history, cookies, and passwords saved. Aside from that you can adjust the font size, personalize bookmarks or control videos using gestures.
