Via Browser - Fast & Light

A Google user

I absolutely love this browser. It WAS the fastest thing available. But... It has gotten slower since the last update. I would love to go back to the last version. I'm kind of a worst-case scenario because I'm using it to run the HTML5 interface on a Soundcraft Ui24R which is fairly demanding of quick response time as this is a live sound application. When I need to mute something, I need it to mute right-fu**ing-now; not in 2 seconds. Please fix the slowdown as I'm stuck with Chrome again.

This is not a terrible browser...but definitely not the best one out there. Issues: 1) ad blocking is weak; I'm seeing a lot of ads that are not displayed in other browsers. 2) speed dial not showing all favicons; less than half are correct and there's no option to choose your own. 3) app/data size is increasing with every usage; what started out as a light browser is not so light anymore. I may take another look if future updates address these issues, but for now I'll use something else.

Great little browser, ideal for phones and tablets overwhelmed with BLOATWARE. HOWEVER, it's from China, so there are a lot of functions that haven't been translated into English. The Sync function DOES NOT work! Dialog box does it's Chinese equivalent of spinning emojis then the connection times out. Recommend it for phones and tablets that are a few years old.

All is well again. Latest update fixed the problem with crashing when trying to access settings. This is by far the easiest and most data saving browser out there. Others promise excellence but fall way short. This app has almost everything packed into it. Give a try. You will be amazed how such a small app can have such power.

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 :(

I have Chrome, Firefox, Ghostery, and Opera, I've used both full and mini, on my phone. They are now out of use! Via surpasses all them in all ways. The others take forever to load, and crash all the time. Via is Fast and Stable. I can't say enough for this browser. Simple, lite and configurable. No more frustrations for me!

Absolutely great browser! Lots of controls, easy-to-use, and excellent speed. I've been using it for a few months on my phone, it's worked fantastically there so I'm going to try it on my Chromebook. The only problem is that I can't figure out how to give it microphone permission, but I'm pretty sure that's either an issue with my phone or something I've skipped over.

The best small and fast web browser I've ever used. Great for all websites outside ones with heavy scripts. Highly recommended. Of note: the screen might blank out with too many open tabs or a super heavy website scripts. Clear Via's cache and data in android settings to fix this (don't forget to export your bookmarks and data in the app first and import later.)

This is the only browser I enjoy using on a phone, and have been doing so for quite a while. I can't tolerate ads on a phone. I'm actually reviewing this because someone recommended the AP News app, so I looked at that. But I can easily use Via browser and get all the news I want at Google News, light, fast and without ads. Recommended.
