Navigate your web experience seamlessly simply by swiping the innovative "Control Sphere" floating at the bottom of your screen. [Key Features] - Intuitive Sphere Gestures Navigate tabs and tools with a simple swipe. Swipe the sphere to quickly access your essential features, and leap between dozens of open tabs at lightning speed. - Stunning Liquid Glass UI A crystalline design that puts your content first. Astor adopts a beautiful glassmorphism aesthetic throughout the app, immersing you completely in whatever site you're browsing. - Never Stop Watching — Background Playback & PiP Your videos and music keep playing, no matter what. Astor delivers true background playback and Picture-in-Picture: the sound keeps going when you lock your screen, switch to another app, or jump between tabs. On supported video sites, PiP and background audio work even where they're normally blocked — perfect for music videos, lectures, and livestreams. - Private Browsing Browse without a trace. Private tabs save no history, cookies, or cache, and everything is wiped the instant you close them. Switch between normal and private modes right from the tab view — a subtle accent always tells you where you are — and you can even keep a separate set of bookmarks just for private mode. - Reading List — Save it for Later Found a great article but no time right now? Add it to your Reading List with a single tap from the share menu, or by long-pressing any link. Astor tracks what you've read, so your list always stays clean. - Instant Smart Search Select any text to search in a snap via the Sphere. Found something interesting on a page? Just highlight the words and smoothly transition into a search. - Find on Page Instantly locate any keyword on the current page, with every match highlighted in Astor's signature blue. - Make Astor Yours Personalize every detail, from your Sphere colors and app icons to a start page you arrange freely. - Minimalist, yet Powerful All the essentials you need, with none of the clutter.
