But could be better. Option to hide status bar would be nice.

I have a mid-range phone but this is much faster than any of the other bloated browsers out there. Does everything I need and has a cleaner interface than Opera. Well done.

Needs a a speed dial, exit button, and a dark theme, then it will be perfect. :)

Please Guys! -_- you have to download the adobe flash apk on google to be able to play fb games or flash videos, AND the flash player works on JB. For me its the best light browser on the android phone/tablet :D 5 star

An absolutely fast and responsive browser which blows many established names like Chrome and Firefox away. But my only problem preventing from giving it 5 stars is that I am unable to add more than 5 bookmarks. Please do rectify this
