Amigo Browser is a minimalistic, lightweight and secure browser for your device. We decided to rethink modern browsers, which are filled with everything possible: news, weather, exchange rates and much more. It seems to us that a modern person needs to abstract from everything unnecessary, especially since there are separate applications for this! Our browser is simple, it only has one tab and that's it - that's enough for surfing the net! This will save you from a dozen unclosed pages and will not take up the memory of your device. To make the pages open even faster, we have implemented an ad blocker that is constantly updated. Thanks to it, you will save megabytes of traffic, and sites will look cleaner and better. To make you feel more secure, we have implemented script and tracking blockers. With their help, you can remain anonymous while surfing the Internet. No browsing history. If you worry about your browsing history or constantly clear it, then with Amigo you don't have to do it again. We simply have no history of your views and no pitfalls. Some of the functionality of the application is offered by subscription, it is issued on a voluntary basis. Subscription bills are charged to your AppleID account. Subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can always manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your App Store account settings.
