    ive been using this browser exclusively for a long time, because it has the address bar at the bottom of the screen, where i can reach it. it just makes sense. however, stability has always been an issue. i could live with that, and i did, but this new ui is awful, guys. what happened to swipe up to show tabs? i could swipe up to see open tabs, swipe tabs up to remove them, and click "+" to start a new tab. perfect! now, its not especially intuitive to do any of those things.

    I have used Brave browser,armorfly,firefox,focus,and so many more.A friend asked me to try out this browser and I give 10 stars all thumbs up and to the developers keep up the great work that you do! This browser works as browsers used to. No bloatware fast and blocks ads.you want bells and whistles? choose another nrowser.If you want to surf the net in peace? choose FOSS BROWSER!

    It's great, seems to have many options as advertised. However, I've encountered the same issue as many other users... I cannot type anything in the URL bar to search, nor paste any links from my clipboard. It appears that the address bar is broken. Could you please fix this? Everything else works of course... as far as I know.

    The latest update seems to be forcing me to have StartPage as my home page. This is unacceptable. Why can't I set about:blank as my home page, like I used to be able to before? Even if I try to now, it still pushes StartPage. I'll be searching for another browser app. Thanks a lot for nothing 👎

    I like the "not google" part, for privacy. But I cannot change my home page, so I'm stuck loading some github page at every launch. And I cannot see how to move the address bar to the top, like EVERY OTHER BROWSER has. That willful difference seems like some stupid "look! we're special!" nonsense.

    Easy to use with one hand. Good gesture support. Need improvement on animations. Personally want a white address bar when using light theme.

    So, this browser is fantastic. As a fellow developer with my own browser on the Google Play Store, I can say this is truly a work of art. I'm very surprised it has such low reviews...

    Depending on your keyboard you can't navigate anywhere to look at anything other than the github repo to the app because the enter key will simply reload the current page and do nothing else.

    No matter what i do, it won't connect to any site. I even QoS-ted it as well as white listing it. Both *here* and on f-droid. All options i was able to test worked. Can only give it 4*s. Sorry.

    Used to be good. But since the last update, i cannot find where to look for my browsing history. I always visit sites via history list but now the "History" menu item is gone. I don't get it. I cold barely use this app since then.
