MiruMado Focus Browser
Read full descriptionHide full description
MiruMado is a privacy-focused in-app browser that lets you keep only the part of a web page you need visible in a small focus window. It is useful for checking markets, weather, news headlines, sports scores, delivery pages, reservations, and other web information without keeping the whole page visually prominent. You can browse normally, create a focus window, hide surrounding areas with dimming or blackout, and reopen saved pages from quick links or favorites. Browser tools such as translation, desktop site mode, text size adjustment, display repair, and ad blocking help make pages easier to view. Saved URLs, focus windows, favorites, and settings stay on your device. MiruMado does not require an account, does not include an advertising SDK, does not send browsing history to an external server, and does not scrape or collect web page contents.
