Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Nitefall at none against Pure Web Browser's shown. Nitefall also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (288 vs 43). Pure Web Browser's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 54%) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.4). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
