Expensive. Unethical developers.

I initially wrote a review giving it 3 stars because, despite the expensive price and annoying yellow block saying your subscription expired, you could still use the basic offline features (which don’t cost the devs any money) with your own proxy or none at all.

Days later they updated the app and completely blocked all basic features unless you pay $11/mo. There was no mention of this in the changelog. They basically tricked people into updating and took away 100% of the previously free features.

I’ll be deleting all of my comments on social media recommending this app for privacy, and I’ll mention that the developers are unethical and untrustworthy any time I see the app mentioned.

Hello. We’ve always been clear that Psylo requires a paid subscription. We’ve never advertised or offered a free tier, although it’s something we’re still considering for the future. The ability to continue using custom proxies after a subscription expired was a bug, not an intentional free-tier. That’s why Psylo displayed the yellow subscription expiry banner. This bug was fixed in version 1.3.0 along with many other issues and improvements. We don’t try to mislead or trick our users, so we don’t think it’s fair to characterize our actions as unethical. If you have concerns or questions about how Psylo works, we’re always happy to discuss them in good faith. Original reply: Hello! Thanks for downloading Psylo. We understand subscription pricing is an issue for many and we're discussing alternatives to offer Psylo at a cheaper price, though we still haven't settled on what that could look like.

The pop up ads are driving me crazy!

There is a bud in this build as per customer service. They are working on it. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a message back in 9 mins-- the support is amazing so far. I am a paid subscriber.

Thanks a lot for using Psylo. The update that fixes your issue is now available. Feel free to reach out to support any time.

Great but way too expensive for me

I understand the need to cover the cost of proxies, and $70/yr isn’t too unreasonable for that. But I’m sure plenty of people like myself don’t need the proxies.

I already pay for a VPN and I’d generally prefer to be anonymized by sharing an IP with thousands of other users on a popular VPN, rather than using a relatively unique proxy endpoint.

The most useful features of this app for me are the silos to store website data in isolated containers and the ad blockers for popular sites. While the app is technically usable without a subscription if you don’t use a proxy, there’s a large yellow block taking up the top 25% of the screen that says “Subscription Expired.” It makes using the web pretty frustrating. You also cannot create any new containers without an active subscription.

I like the app and want to support the devs, but paying $10.99/mo or $70/yr is way too much, especially if I’m using it without the proxies at no marginal cost to the developers. I hope they’ll consider a much cheaper tier without proxy access that can still help fund updates and maintenance of ad/tracking filters. I’m quite poor but I value my privacy and I would pay $10 or $20/yr for the basic functionality of silos and ad-blocking.

Good but price isn’t worth it

I do thing tab isolation at this level is good privacy feature, but compared to other free privacy focused browsers I just can justify a subscription. I know stuff like this takes time which requires money but I’m not sure how many people out there are willing to pay for a browser, especially if they are satisfied with the level of privacy already offered by others. Overall I hope to see this grow, but just can see myself paying for it

No proxy subscription option, please

Love the silos. Would like to support and use the browser without being forced into a proxy subscription. Pricing without proxy as $10-20 one-time would be really nice, or a really low $1-2/mo.

Eek

Cool concept, but very odd that a security research team pushes a proxy that makes DNS connections to Hong Kong. 👎

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for trying out Psylo. We don't use any Hong Kong based services to perform DNS lookups. If you're observing this on your end, please reach out to support@mysk.co Also, our architecture ensures that DNS lookups only originate from the proxies and never the user's own device

Extremely fingerprintable

Just go to either of these sites, 100% fingerprintable on both

Amiunique.org
Coveryourtracks.eff.org

Update. I understand the argument that each silo appears differently to these sites, but how is that different from brave or even safari that randomizes each appearance?
Ps I also have a hard time with the bandwidth usage, and timestamps in the information we collect section of your privacy policy. Why is any of that necessary in a privacy respecting browser?

Hi, thanks for trying Psylo. I think you’re misunderstanding the results shown by amiunique.org and coveryourtracks.eff.org. Psylo’s anti-fingerprinting has a simple goal: no two silos should share the same fingerprint. This prevents websites and trackers from linking your activity across different silos. You can verify this yourself by opening amiunique.org in two different silos. You’ll notice that each silo’s fingerprint appears for the first time under the “History” section. To AmIUnique, each silo appears as a completely separate browser that has never visited the website before. If you would like to learn more or have questions about Psylo’s anti-fingerprinting, you can always reach out to us on https://psylo.app/support

Brilliant

Fast, private, ad-free experience for my favorite social media apps. Privacy like a VPN but without the battery draining.

Adding silos to homescreen without creating shortcuts would be nice

Great Idea But Blocked

This is an outstanding idea in theory but I'm getting a network block on multiple windows with Reddit. Why?

Lukang

Response from developer

Hello! Thanks for downloading Psylo. Reddit aggressively blocks proxy servers from accessing their website from time to time, which also affects our proxy network. For Reddit, you could set up a silo with a direct connection or your own custom proxy while still enjoying the benefits of isolating it from your other silos. We're always working on improving Psylo and getting around issues like Reddit blocking proxies.

Not ready for prime time

The concept here is great, and the UI very clean as well. Unfortunately the browser fails to load, is laggy and buggy and generally unreliable for many websites. parts of pages, embedded charts (e.g., E*Trade) simply do not load, and lock up the browser. Perhaps after a few more versions the author will get it right.

Best private browser out there

This is the privacy browser we’ve been waiting for. Psylo gets it right where others have fallen short. The interface is clean, the protections are robust, and it doesn’t sacrifice usability for security.

Now please, Psylo team, give us a desktop version!

Problems Solved

As an early adopter, this is the first time I feel Psylo is complete. I feel the app is smother now and looks amazing with Liquid Glass and solved a major issue I was having with the last update, and even added a couple features I wanted. I can’t recommend this app enough. I’d go as far as Psylo should be on every iPhone.

Hello, we’re deeply sorry for the connection issues you have experienced lately. There was a bug affecting version 1.0.5 which should be fixed in the latest update. If you’re still experiencing connection issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to support@mysk.co We want to take care of each one of our users, and especially our early adopters who placed a lot of trust in us.

Great Browser with amazing potential! Just needs a few more improvements. Feedback below:

I thoroughly appreciate this browser. It is well-crafted, and I particularly love the user interface. It is simple and easy to understand and use. It does have a few bugs like it becoming unresponsive when moving to another app and coming back.

Its containerized silos are amazing! Really helps with keeping other browsing sessions separate from each other.

There are a few areas for feedback that I believe would enhance the usability of the browser.

1.) Could you please add an icon or some text that indicates when the settings “PWA” or “Ephemeral” is enabled on a silo in the main page on the squares? This would be beneficial for users to remember settings for each silo.

2.) When a user taps on a link in an application, such as in an email, and it redirects them to the Psylo browser, could you isolate it to a brand new ephemeral silo that is distinct from all other silos? (I am uncertain if this functionality is already implemented, as there is no indication that it is its own containerized session.) Additionally, above the URL, please state that it is ephemeral and that it is a clicked-linked created silo and not one of the user-created silos. It could say something like “Ephemeral Silo: from a clicked linked from an outside app”

Thanks for this amazing browser! I really love it!

Connection Issues

As an early adopter who paid full price for Psylo, I can’t help but feel disappointed. Been having connectivity issues that didn’t not resolve after connecting support. I keep getting “Could not connect to server. Please try again later”. It’s difficult to rely on psylo when this is the quality of the “paid” service.

Great, unique privacy app

I was excited when Mysk announced this app, and even more excited to beta test it, then use it when it emerged into GA. It’s a great augment to other privacy technologies and the care in development is obvious from the start. Very very worth it in my opinion as a technologist.
