About

FullFrame Browser

Features
Read full description

FullFrame is the browser that gets out of your way. Most browsers surround your content with toolbars, tabs, address bars, and buttons. FullFrame strips all of that away the moment you start browsing, giving you a full-screen, edge-to-edge view of every website you visit. No clutter, no chrome, just content. When you need the toolbar, it's always one double-tap away. When you don't, it vanishes completely. Features: - Full-screen browsing. Toolbars hide automatically so websites fill the entire screen. - Double-tap with two fingers to instantly show or hide the toolbar. - Tabbed browsing. Open and manage multiple tabs side by side. - Incognito tabs. Browse privately with no cookies, cache, or history saved. - Bookmarks. Save and revisit your favourite pages in one tap. - History. Quickly jump back to recently visited pages. - Download support. Save files and media directly to your device. - Camera, microphone, and location support for any website that needs them. - Keeps the screen on, perfect for displaying content in a fixed location. - All orientations supported, portrait and landscape on iPhone and iPad.

About

Pane Browser

Features
Read full description

Pane Browser is a browser built for actually reading the web. There is no top URL bar, no bottom toolbar, no persistent chrome. The web page fills the entire screen. Everything else hides behind a single floating button on the side β€” tap it once for a radial menu of back, home, more, and two slots you customize yourself. Designed for one-thumb mobile use: β€’ Tap the floating button to open the radial menu β€” back, home, more, plus your two custom slots. β€’ Drag the button anywhere on the screen; it snaps to either edge so it never gets in the way of the page. β€’ Swipe from the left edge to go back, with a Safari-style parallax preview of the previous page sliding in. β€’ A four-tile shelf on the start screen for the sites you visit most. β€’ Tabs, bookmarks, and history live behind the More menu, not above the page. Privacy by default: β€’ No accounts, no sign-in, nothing leaves your phone. β€’ Bookmarks and history stored on-device only. β€’ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. β€’ Default search engine is Bing β€” reachable worldwide without a VPN. Switch to Google or DuckDuckGo in Settings. Pane Browser uses Apple's WKWebView, the same engine as Safari, so every site you visit renders the way it would anywhere else on iOS.
