Verdict
Pure Web Browser and Tube Browser Pro both sit at 4.1 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of Pure Web Browser's written reviews are positive against 37% of Tube Browser Pro's. Pure Web Browser also leads on iOS requirement (9.3 vs 14.0). Tube Browser Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 43). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
