Panura

Panura is a web browser and a video player in one. What plays on a page and what is already on your phone open in the same player ā full screen, free of the page's ads and pop-ups. Browse to a page, press play, and Panura finds the stream the page is playing. Or open the Videos tab, where the same player opens your library. Either way you get real controls, a picture that fills the screen properly, and subtitles you can size, colour and re-encode until they are readable. BUILT-IN BROWSER ⢠Ad and pop-up blocking, so a page that opens six tabs opens none ⢠Private mode that keeps nothing once you leave it ⢠Desktop mode for sites that hide their player from phones ⢠Bookmarks, history and Watch Later, with the address bar where your thumb is YOUR PHONE'S VIDEOS ⢠Every video in your photo library, in a grid or a list ⢠Albums, search, and sorting by name, date or size ⢠Length and file size on every row, and delete without leaving the app ⢠iCloud videos play too ā Panura fetches them at full quality when you tap ⢠The same player, the same gestures, the same subtitle settings ⢠Add any of them to Watch Later, beside the pages you saved THE PLAYER ⢠Plays what other players refuse: HLS, MP4, MKV, AVI, and more ⢠Gestures for seek, brightness, volume and hold-to-speed ⢠Pinch to zoom and move the picture inside the frame ⢠Subtitle control that goes past on and off: size, font, colour, outline, background, and the character encoding that fixes garbled non-English files ⢠Audio and subtitle track switching, with sidecar subtitles found on the page ⢠Picture in Picture, so the video follows you out of the app ⢠Background audio, resume where you left off, and a sleep timer PLAY ON TV ⢠Cast to a Chromecast, or to Panura on an Android TV ⢠Videos from your phone cast too ā pick the audio language, and built-in subtitles come along ⢠Subtitles show on the TV, from the page or from the file ⢠Videos whose sound comes separately are combined on your phone, so they play on TVs that refuse them otherwise ⢠Control playback from a bar at the bottom of every screen, even with your phone locked ⢠Discovery runs on your own network and stops when you leave the screen WHAT PANURA DOES NOT DO ⢠No account, ever. Nothing to sign up for ⢠No downloading of anything you browse to ⢠No ad tracking. Your history, bookmarks and resume positions stay on the device and are deleted with the app Panura is a player and a browser. It hosts no content of its own, indexes nothing, and only ever opens the pages you ask it to.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: BOKKI Encoder at none against Panura's shown. Panura's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
