✨ Happy Points

One of the most delightful aspects of this application is its focus on speed. Users frequently praise its ability to load web pages quickly, even on slower connections. This speed is often attributed to its cloud-based architecture, which processes web pages on remote servers before sending them to the device.

  • Fast page loading
  • Data saving capabilities
  • Can sometimes have issues with website compatibility

🌈 Joy Features

The app shines with its data-saving capabilities. By processing web pages on its servers, it reduces the amount of data that needs to be downloaded to the user's device. This is especially valuable for users with limited data plans or those in areas with poor network coverage.

Data Compression

The application compresses web pages, leading to significant data savings. This allows users to browse more content without exceeding their data limits.

🎨 Delight Aspects

Many users appreciate the built-in virtual trackpad and gamepad, which provide a desktop-like browsing experience on mobile devices. This is particularly useful for interacting with web applications and games that are not optimized for touchscreens.

Description

Puffin Cloud Browser is a mobile browser that offers fast loading speeds and cloud protection. It is free to download from the Google Play Store, but a paid subscription is required for unlimited use. Users can try out the service for free with a one-hour daily usage limit during the evaluation period. The browser uses a proprietary compression algorithm to save up to 90% of bandwidth on regular web browsing. However, streaming Flash content or videos requires more bandwidth than normal usage. The browser offers features such as an ad blocker, mobile, and desktop modes, download to cloud capabilities, theater mode for Flash videos and games, virtual trackpad and gamepad, and Adobe Flash support. The monthly subscription fee is $1 per month. There are limitations to the service, such as geolocation restrictions of content if users are based in countries other than the US and Singapore, where Puffin's servers are located. Puffin is also blocked in certain regions, such as China, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, and some educational institutions in the US. Overall, Puffin Cloud Browser is a fast and secure mobile browser that offers unique features such as cloud protection and Adobe Flash support.

puffin was the only browser that actually did things that certain websites require to navigate. sometimes you would need to right click or do a keyboard input, and while it was imperfect puffin was the only that could let you do it with only a touchscreen. it was also my only way to play flash games for a long time, until people made ruffle. but it's practically impossible to use because of the most anti-consumer pay wall possible, you pay per hour for a browser. nobody's done that in decades.

Okay, for a long time I really loved this app. But these updates have been upsetting. Why do I get and ad when I go to certain websites? It pisses me off, and creeps me out, that it's only a select few. I understand, Puffin employees gotta pay the bills, but god damn I'm sure you can come up with something better than this. Please either make ad distribution more liberal, or remove it. I understand that as a web browser, you look at and sell all my browsing data, but could you do it a bit more quietly? It feels creepy the way it won't play ads on most sites I visit and then BAM, one site generates an ad every time. It feels almost like the engine is trying to direct me toward certain sites, which again is unbelievably creepy. I either want an explanation for why ads appear on certain websites, or a proper, more random feeling, distribution. Thanks! I'd hate to find a browser to replace Puffin after using it for so long. It really is a great tool, and I hope this weird ad thingy can be fixed. :)

In a land of free browsers, there is still a niche market for flash support. However, the pricing model ruins this app. I understand ads on free software, but I usually pay to remove them when that is the option. Unfortunately for Puffin, you can't use this app for more than an hour with ads and you can't pay to remove them without a subscription. I'd be happy to pay a one time fee of 2-5 dollars. There is no way I am paying $2 a month when a free desktop browser works 10 times better.
