And I have to start all over again. Can you fix this? ### 2/5 — Deleted after 2 minutes by seeing the first ad! It’s a scam *2023-03-22, version 3.13.2* Deleted after 2 minutes by seeing the first ad! It’s a scam ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2023-03-16, version 3.13.2* I’ve been using this app for at least five years. It’s been bulletproof until the latest release. Now it’s taking many tries to get a page to open. Often it is changing the address I enter right as I press ENTER. If it continues much longer I’ll be shopping other apps in its place. ### 5/5 — Your Paywalls mean NOTHING Anymore!! *2020-08-24, version 3.10.0* Fantastic for reading as many articles as you want with no limit and bypassing paywalls on certain stories.😙👌 ### 4/5 — Love it, but it would be better with ad blocking *2020-08-12, version 3.10.0* Works better than other “privacy” browsers, but it be so much better with an ad blocker plugin ### 5/5 — Nice *2020-07-24, version 3.10.0* One of the best to use ### 5/5 — Israel *2020-07-12, version 3.10.0* very very good ### 5/5 — Good *2020-02-12, version 2.9.8* Very nice ### 5/5 — Browser *2019-10-23, version 2.9.5* It’s the best for me is #1 ### 5/5 — Appreciation *2019-08-08, version 3.9.4* Since from the time I started using this browser I honestly appreciate its speed, simplicity of utility, its user friendliness Liked it in & out, thank you ### 3/5 — V *2019-02-27, version 3.9.1* F u ### 5/5 — Really good app *2018-12-11, version 3.9.0* I’ve been using this app for almost 2 years.
