Saved me in the wilderness

While backpacking I wanted a browser that could work with even the most unreliable of connections. At the top of a mountain I found 1 bar of lte from a town far down the valley below. This browser let me avoid downloading images so I could navigate to read the news without it taking forever because of ads and images trying to load.
The only app of its kind. Some search engines no longer work with it (google), but that’s ok.
