A browser that browses for you. AriRoam puts an AI assistant inside the address bar. Tap the sparkle on any page to ask about what you're reading โ€” The page comes along with the question, no copy-paste. Or hand off whole tasks: open a tab, click a button, fill a form, scroll until you find the bit you wanted. A purple glow appears around the screen while Ari is acting, so you can see what's happening and stop it any time. You bring the model. Ari can drive the browser. Ask it to open something, click something, fill something. The whole flow appears on screen so you can watch. โ€” Spaces. Group tabs by context โ€” work, personal, research. Each space has its own colour, its own pinned sites, its own tabs. Switch spaces from the dock swatch. โ€” Quick access. Pin any site to your home rail. Drag to reorder. The home is where your regular sites live. โ€” Pinpoint search. Tap into the address bar from anywhere โ€” your history surfaces underneath as you type. โ€” Real tab thumbnails. The tabs grid shows what each page actually looks like, not just a favicon. โ€” Built-in ad and tracker blocking. Programmatic ads, fingerprinting beacons, cookie-consent walls โ€” all silently dropped. Pages load faster and Ari isn't fighting overlays. โ€” Every browser fundamental: pull-to-refresh, find on page, downloads, history search, bookmarks, share sheet, peek-and-pop link previews, persistent cookies and sign-ins across launches.

Verdict

The call

AriRoam and Ad are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
