Still, having a bare-bones GUI does have its merits. The GUI follows a similar pattern to what you might find in other Chromium-based browser, but it looks like something made in the 90s and some controls can be a bit clunky at times. The app does look a bit outdated, we have to admit. Overall user experience and browsing speedĬonsidering it's a Chromium-based browser, Pocket Browser is pretty decent when it comes to overall user experience. In short, it's not exactly feature-packed, but as a "browsing-only" browser, it should work just fine. The browser also features a video downloader, a website dark mode, and support for Chromecast, which makes it pretty decent on the multimedia front.

These include Bookmarks, Permissions, the aforementioned ad-blocker, the option to choose between multiple search engine choices (Google, DuckDuckGO, Bing, or any other of your choosing). Pocket Browser offers its users pretty much all Chromium features. The app's website is also currently either non-available or flagged by various other browsers, which makes collecting information about these aspects a bit tricky, hence, Pocket Browser wouldn't be our first choice when it comes to privacy protection.

In theory, the browser should limit your exposure to trackers and other data-collection-related factors. This is all great, but the main issue with Pocket Browser is that it doesn't really offer much in terms of information regarding its privacy protection technologies. There's also a built-in ad-blocker that can be enabled from the Settings section. The browser offers three security modes: Basic, Balanced, and Strict. We're going to assess all of these three characteristics in order to provide a fair assessment regarding Pocket Browser's value in a world where the competition in this segment is as fierce as ever. Pocket Browser is one of many free and open-source, Chromium-based web browsers and, according to its developers, it's a browser that provides protection for your privacy, a series of typical features, as well as a enhanced browsing speed.
