User reviews

S tier app. Don't trust the reviews where they rated 1 for minor things that can be tweaked in the settings. This browser gets the job done, is completely free, runs perfectly, and is still supported. What more do you guys want? The devs need to pay YOU money to get a better rating or something?

Loads pages and otherwise seems to work but really struggles with embedded videos, which was the entire reason for me using it... Videos start OK but quickly show a lot of image corruption and begin to stutter and skip (perhaps a buffering issue?).
