Initial impression, awesome. I made a weather app for weather.gov (no ads). This launches the page faster than the firefox equivalent homescreen link. And, it actually dumps out of cache when you dismiss the app from recents!!! While the firefox processes hang around consuming a total of 500mb ram. Thanks!

Maybe I'm missing something... There are just too many websites that won't load at all or will not let you sign into. I don't even use the content blocker or any other restrictive settings that would interfere with the functioning of the webpage on my end. There is something about the browser that doesn't interact with webpages the way all my other browsers do. Never had these issues before. Really like the concept of lite apps and sandboxes, but I can only use it with around half of pages.
