Web Browser 1.3

Browse the internet easily using a simplistic but lightweight app
Internet browsing is an important part of owning an Android device and although there are many browsers on Google Play Store, it's still difficult to find one that meets all your needs and loads pages fast.

You can choose from browsers that incorporate a whole array of features but may require lots of resources or apps that are simplistic, but lightweight and load pages fast. Web Browser is a rather rudimentary browser, but it does the job and doesn't crash as often as other browsers.

Easy-to-use but simplistic interface

There's nothing appealing about this browser's interface. It doesn't come with a tutorial or any sort of instructions, but the UI is quite easy-to-use and intuitive on its own.

It has a side menu where you can manage your tabs and a 'hamburger' icon on the top right corner of the screen with various features that you would find inside the app.

One thing missing is a section with various themes. The app only comes in a light theme and there's not even the option of selecting a darker UI design for when you're browsing at night.

Browse the internet easily and fast

One advantage of this app is the lightweight interface and the speed with which it opens pages. Indeed, it doesn't take long to load and users may choose from a whole array of search engines.

In addition, they can open as many tabs as they wish and they'll all load when you relaunch the app so you wouldn't lose information. However, it doesn't come with the option of setting shortcuts to your favorite websites, the only way that you can customize the homepage is by assigning a webpage, having the app display bookmarks or a blank page all together.

Tweak settings to make the app your own

It comes with an incognito mode, but most browsers do. Still, it gives users the option of blocking ads or finding words in pages. You can also assign a download location of your choice or enable the full screen mode.

Other than that, you can have the app save passwords or clean cache upon exit. Font size can also be changed or bookmarks can be imported from your default browser. You can access your history at any time or share content with friends on social networks.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
 

The interface is sleek and lightweight, but the only changes that you can do is to the font size. In addition, you can't add shortcuts to favorite websites on the homepage.

Function8
 

It loads pages fast but it doesn't have a forward button and comes with very few features compared to other browsers.

Security9
 

It's not an intrusive app, but does need a few permissions from your phone. Still, it comes with incognito mode in which it doesn't record pages you've visited.

Battery8
 

Consumption isn't high so you shouldn't worry about resources when using this app.

Price8
 

It's free of charge but comes with popup ads and a whole section with recommendations of other apps you can download.

Compatibility8
 

It needs devices running Android version 4.0 or later, making it inaccessible to some users.
