I wanted to like this app, and I did at first. I downloaded it last week. Today I searched for a book on Barnes and Noble and the website was telling me that the book was not available at “my store” I don’t have an account with them and was very confused. Looked at what it thought “my store was” and it listed the address of a Barnes and Noble I had bought a book from months ago in a different state. Whether this data was stored in my phone through my previous browser, Apple Maps, or whatever, the only way the website could have known this is by breaching the privacy it claims to protect. There is no way this could have happened if the browser protected the information it has promised it does.

I downloaded this last night and it was actually pretty cool at first. Not even 24 hours later it stopped letting me use it out of nowhere. I’ll try and search for something and then I get kicked out... so, there goes that. I wanted to really like this and was even ready to post about on Facebook, but it couldn’t even last me a full day. How unfortunate.

I heard about this browser from my friends and decided to give it a try. It’s been a week now. Looks like it’s built on Firefox model, as the UI looks ditto. I liked initially, but as days progressed, I didn’t find any value in this browser as this seemed like the slowest mobile browser I had used in a while. Safari or Chrome for that matter are ultra fast even when it’s a poor connection or slower WiFi. Qwant took me forever that it reminded me of the 90s dial-up connection. The same query after losing patience I hit it on my safari with DuckDuckGo as the search engine and it presented with plenty of results in under a second. I don’t know what you folks are doing differently, but needs a lot of improvement at least in my opinion and user experience. You need to crank up the speed. That’s why it’s a 2 star now. But maybe I will use it for another couple of months and update the review if it gets better.
