Verdict
Reviewers like the speed and simplicity, but the privacy claims don't hold up under scrutiny: several people point out it lacks DuckDuckGo or a custom search option, doesn't block ads, and offers no clarity on what data it actually collects. That's a real problem for a browser marketed on privacy.
Best for
Someone who wants a stripped-down, fast alternative to Safari for basic browsing and isn't relying on it to actually block tracking or ads.
Dealbreaker
Several reviewers say the app doesn't block ads or trackers despite billing itself as private, and some report it redirecting pages to ads or running slowly.
The facts.
