Overall good browser. But poor implementation of most chrome extensions that require a button of some kind in the menu. No button - extension can't function. Also occasional failure to recognize and respect the user's language. Browser set to English but emails and texts are in Russian. If this browser is to be truly international it needs to consistently use the browser's system language in all communications.

Great browser. Love the simple design and features are good. Of course the best part is it's powered by Yandex. The best search engine there is with none of the bias and censored results of Google and Bing. One thing though is that the ad blockers are not strict enough. Also they need to expand the compatible add-ons and extensions to the likes of Firefox. Then it would be #1.

It's not a bad browser. It has some features traditional browsers don't have, but also lacks some features too. Storage wise, it's the smallest capacity I've seen overall when I compare it with other browsers I've tried. My main concern is that it's pretty laggy (at least for my phone). If the stability could strengthen, I would have little to any concern with the browser thus far.

So far, a better experience than Chrome. I like the fact that plugins are supported and its more or less minimalistic. I haven't had much time yet to experiment around, but my VPN (Private Internet Access), seems to work with a far better speed than both chrome and fire fox. Unlike chrome, with plugins enabled I've experienced no ads yet. I can say that no matter how good chrome is, the relentless ads ruin the experience. All in all, I will continue to use this browser as my daily driver.

Been using for a awhile to find a good browser that will work with extensions since, other browser reworked and loss ability to. This is better then Kiwi because that jumps around and won't scroll on web pages. Although recently EVERY time I click on a link it always opens in a new tab, and makes me choose my browser since I don't set default. I've gone through my settings and still can't fix it. So lowered to a 3 star and looking for a new web browser.

Seems like a solid browser but has a few minor issues. I'd like to be able to install an ad blocking extension as the built in ad blocker isn't good enough for me. I also noticed the weather widget on the homepage doesn't let me change the location. I wish it had a more customizable homepage. Sometimes when using the app, especially when using the default search engine, there are translation issues. This is definitely a browser to watch, very interesting.
