Puffin Web Browser is minimalistic browser for those who just want to surf the web

This is the paid version of Puffin Web Browser with no restrictions regarding number of sites launched at the same time.

Lots of users don't need bookmarks sync, user-agent, integration with other apps and all this kind of advanced-user stuff. They just want to navigate, that's it, visit websites, read articles and watch videos on it. That's all. For those users, Puffin Web Browser is a good choice, since it's a light, simple and fast mini browser.

It supports flash, although it isn't not optimized for playing flash games on it. It's really fast since it renders full version of web pages quickly and reliably thanks to cloud servers. What's more, it integrates an interesting feature: keyboard and mouse button that launches your Android keyboard and a touchpad. Well, that's useful if you didn't get used to the tap-like navigation.

You can choose between web browser-like view or mobile browser mode. From settings, you can also select block pop-up windows, set home page, load flash, zoom buttons or clear cache and history. Tapping on the bookmark icon, next to the browser bar, you'll access your bookmarks and navigation history.

And not really much. Did you want to navigate with no additives, didn't you? Puffin Browser is a choice.

Developer's original description available here
Puffin Web Browser is wicked fast. Once users experience the thrill of using Puffin, regular mobile Internet just feels like torture. Puffin Web Browser is the premium version of the Puffin family, and comes with unlimited Adobe Flash hours.

☆ Virtual Trackpad (Mouse Simulator)
☆ Virtual Gamepad
☆ Add-ons functions (Pocket, Evernote, Facebook, Translator and more)

==== Limitations ====
* The data centers of Puffin Web Browser are in the US and the cloud servers can only access public web sites from US geolocations.
* For users outside the US, local content, especially videos of local interest, may not be accessible from the US due to geo-restrictions in your home country.
For more information, please check our FAQ: http://www.puffinbrowser.com/faq.html

==== Suggestion ====
For all users, we suggest trying the free version before buying the full version. At this moment in time, the only difference is the 2-week trial of Adobe Flash support for the free version.

    The gigantic amount of resources this browser uses negates any gained speed. It used to be much better at managing available resources (RAM).

    I am using a samsung galaxy player. After the last update, every time I try search using google, puffin just force closes every time. Once this is fixed it will be 5 stars.

    Force closes multiple times a day. Whats worst is when you reopen the browser it has lost your spot after force closing. Im also having an issue with downloading files. Def dont recommend this. Try dolphin or chrome browsers instead.
