ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Diigo Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Diigo Browser has 563 ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Diigo Browser's written reviews are positive against 67% of Browser Search's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Diigo Browser ships an update fortnightly, Browser Search every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
