| 2024-11-29 |  | | Please keep doing what you're doing, this is the best browser I've ever used Edit: It seems like Google login is broken, and I've encountered "This device sent too many requests to the server" on the PS App when trying to use this browser, and was immediately fixed by using another browser. Basically, this browser isn't compatible with everything |
| 2024-11-23 |  | | Other developers, take note. With every update, this browser only gets better, which is mind-blowing because it's already the best, most customizable, and fastest browser I've ever used. The per-site configuration options, granular cookie control, built-in support and editing for scripts, backup and integration, settings options...I've never had a browser be this user-configurable while also being reliable and fast. |
| 2024-08-22 |  | | Amaxing browser, especially on older devices that cant run the newest versions of chrome, opera, etc. The only issue I have experienced is when I try to type on the home page, the keyboard only popped up for a bit, and then eent back down, meaning I had to continuously click on the search bar. I if there is any way to fix that, it would be greatly appreciated. |
| 2024-03-27 |  | | At first glance, this might look like some sketchy Chinese spyware app. But it's actually the best mobile web browser in existence. There is absolutely no bloat, no news feeds, no sponsored links. It doesn't overload you with stacks of tabs. It's fully customizable and has built in ad-blocking. It's faster than any of the mainstream browsers, and runs on every device. |
| 2023-11-09 |  | | This browser has been great for low end devices. The customization, features, overall design and sleekness is eprfect for minimalists. Not to mention the performance. My only problem is that it sometimes has bugs. Stuff like site's won't load, captcha's, google accounts, won't restore pages (when setting is turned on), won't allow downloads, the list goes on. But overall it does what I need and doesn't have these bugs very often. Giving it 4 stars overall. |
| 2023-02-17 |  | | Great fast browser that's easy to use. If you're a person that likes to keep browser tabs open, be warned that it will randomly CLOSE them all for no apparent reason. I like having a light weight browser to hold on to pages I want to reference, so this is a disappointment. Otherwise it's excellent, so I can only deduct one starb despite the deal breaker. |
| 2022-05-18 |  | | Because of the new character limit the google play store has and Google's policy prevents links to other sites, I can't make my usual in depth reviews here anymore. However, on most devices, this is one of the best browsers I've used. It's small, the ad blocker works almost perfectly and the browser is very fast. The only issues I have are videos in hd have buffering issues and specifically on my tablet (hp7, running android 4.1.2), most websites don't work properly and the browser is unstable. |
| 2022-03-15 |  | | This is the best lite browser I have used, and I have tried many. Most, while small in size, compromise features and usability. Via, in the other hand, has no such compromises, and offers multiple useful features, such as the ability to choose custom user interface, import bookmarks, ad blocker, and built in QR scanner. It is also highly customizable, and allows you to save/export/import your settings. It is speedy, doesn't bog down my phone, and has great privacy features. Useful! I love it! |
| 2022-02-08 |  | | I wish I were to be able to adjust the maximum height of the pop-up menu when you hold a link. If you long-press a link, it'll bring up a pop-up menu ("Open in Background/Open in New Tab/etc.") which takes up 30% of my screen--and if I happen to be long-pressing a link on the bottom half of my screen, the "Open in Background" option will shift all the way to the top of my screen. It's quite a stretch ;w; Still the most customizable ad-blocking browser I've used to date. I highly recommend it. |
| 2021-12-05 |  | | Here's the thing: this is by far my favorite browser I've ever used. It has so many options and customizations, I can set it up exactly how I want it and I love that. But there's some dealbreakers. For one thing, any time I try to link anything to my Google account from this browser, I get permission denied. I also get "this browser isn't supported" at several sites. I want Via to be my default, but I always have to switch back to chrome because functionality is iffy :( |
