Puffin browser desktop download

A review by Fernando Ortega. Puffin Browser , also called Secure Browser, is a web browser that's built and designed for faster Internet browsing and it introduces a few privacy features. Full encryption of web traffic and prevention of DNS hijacking are headline features. While the program is free to download and install, it does require a small subscription price to pay for its cloud services.

Once you've activated your Puffin account, a free month trial is activated so a credit card or payment method is required to get started. What Puffin Browser does is uses cloud servers to add additional speed and encryption for its users. The rendering engine is cloud-based, so it takes some of the load off of the PC in order to speed up rendering. The look and layout of this web browser is pretty flat and modern-looking and whizzing through the menus shows off its speed.

It doesn't seem to suffer from some of the slowdowns and lag that other browsers might experience and thus makes surfing the web a little bit faster. I now have to find a decent app that has the same abilities as Puffin so that i can complete important tasks or even just play a game and be able to see the whole screen.

I hope that the App Store people will retract their decision and work with the app developers, because the app was amazing. When I first received my iPhone and iPad nearly 2 years ago, I found it pure madness that Apple products still did not support Flash. I had searched through various browsers, but none seemed to support it either.

The few that did were clunky, cost money, and half baked. When I had downloaded Puffin, I was tremendously pleased. Using the browser was intuitive. I did not have to switch between functions to enable flash. I could browse freely and do what wanted without having to fight an application. Now over the last year, Puffin has had issues and hiccups. Would it not be better to improve so powerfully that the competition looks foolish in comparison?

To all the staff at Puffin and those whom made it the wonderful tool it is, thank you. Thank you for all your hard work, your wonderful design, and your having fought this hard this long.

We are sad to see you go, but ever grateful for the time you made things so much easier. I started using Puffin because I wanted to access Flash games on my iPad. I'm no Flash fan by any means and I look forward to it becoming unnecessary but for now there are still a few things that just can't be done without it, many games being the one for me.

When I started using it I had no idea just how fast it actually was. But I began noticing how impatient I had become trying to do anything with any other browser. I usually used Chrome, Firefox or Opera and Safari when needed and saw that I was beginning to click several times on the same link or button to try to get something to happen. Eventually I found myself cursing out loud at my iPad every time I had to use any browser besides Puffin.

Now Puffin is my go to and I rarely use the others. I still use them when I need particular features but find myself doing so less and less and expect that eventually I'll rarely use anything but Puffin on my iPad. I only wish it was available on my iMac. Maybe it's not the perfect browser for everyone and if so I suggest you not use it for too long or you may find it impossible to go back to what you had been using before.
