Перестал работатьПерестал работать где есть антиддос система cloudflare просто бесконечная загрузка, в других браузерах все работает отлично

Better than safari or chromeGreat browser fantastic app

What a great browser!!This is the best browser I have ever used! Saves time and best of all blocks trackers and Ads!!👌😁😉😎

My new favorite browserBuilt like and rugged as chrome, but made for today's internet. Unfortunately a subscription is required to utilize the VPN, but a small price to pay for discretion...
