Description
Ad blocker integrated
No annoying app popups when navigating to their webpages
Play videos without pausing when switching tabs.
Scroll over the tabs bar to quick switch between pages.
Middle mouse button switches between scroll to zoom and scroll to... scroll.
Add web page shortcuts to the desktop which support the ability to launch in any browser
Shift+Space will automatically insert a space into the web page if you have the Desktop Hub 'Enhanced dekstop' mode turned on with the option "Disable 'shift + space' language switch" enabled. This is an issue that many users have with DeX so Desktop Browser tries to address this issue.
No data is used for profit, all app profits come from the upgrade to pro option, so you can choose to support the developer
The bookmarks bar is a premium feature just to give me incentive to continue developing this browser long term. As I don't use your data or do any deals with search engines this is the only income from the app.
The reason for the browser user agent being set to Chrome OS is to increase desktop mode optimisations in websites without the common mistakes that we see in other Android browsers running in desktop mode showing a mobile UI on pages such as Facebook.
The mobile experience is barely optimised.
For now it kind of works but I wouldn't suggest that it's better than any other mobile browser.
The design of the browser follows similar design standards to multiple browsers built for other desktop operating systems.
Some web pages require special permissions such as camera and microphone permissions, so the browser will request those on first launch, but the web pages themselves will also need to request those permissions when it requires them.
This is currently only a beta so please expect a few bugs.

5 ★ This browser is amazing! Honestly, I think this will probably be my go-to browser. I really love the overlay above the title bar, but just in case you're not already adding these features in, I think a more full-fledged settings menu would help a lot, and there deosnt seem to be a way to close individual tabs? It would also be great if my current tabs wouldn't close every time I close the app. But other than that, this app is great and I really hope that others donate!
4 ★ I have the basic version and its a really cool app that gives you the Chrome experience for your Dex Station! My main grips with it is that videos do stop when going through other apps like discord and you can't enter a space when holding the shift key and that can cause typos alot when typing fast. I also do hope they add a spell checker in the future! Although I do have a question for the pro/premuim version, does it run smoother? Are the only difference is that you get adblocker and bookmarks?
4 ★ The only desktop broswer that works with Wix's website editor. I've tried Opera, Firefox, Edge, etc & changed their user agent, some works for a short moment and then Wix editor became unable to save changes.
1 ★ It would be a perfect score as I like the app. But the constant request to upgrade to pro is so god damn annoying. Edit. I realise now that it isnt a timed popup asking to upgrade. It's that stupid banner at the bottom of the screen when you click it it pops up. The problem is that is why my phones back, and home button are. This has to be intentional. Also, of I enter full screen and back the browser closes any tabs I have open. I will be uninstalling this browser.
1 ★ This app looks good but there are so many bugs that make it almost unusable. I purchased the pro version and am quite disappointed. Simple things like closing a tab or minimizing the window is a challenge at best and usually require hitting the button several times. Half the time clicking new tab hangs. Rather it sets there and the icon spins and cant close it. You have to close the app and reopen it. There are many more glaring bugs. The Devs seriously need to spend some time fixing them
4 ★ I upgraded to Pro it still showed the upgrade tab until i add the bookmark bar and i affirmed i wanted to upgrade. Odd UI. I am pleased at the browser experience and ability to watch Hulu and Amazon streams. It constantly ask for permissions which I wish once was enough when you open the app instead of every channel change.
1 ★ I will give a 5 if u can make sure the browser does not open the last open page whenever it starts. It should always open the default home page! Whenever u rotate your phone the page gets reloaded or closed! The rendering of some web pages are horrible. Its just different from the regular browser. I had the pro version and really regretted getting it!
3 ★ I really wish this was based on Chromium or something because there's a lot of things missing I want to see on here, and I just overall don't really like the UI that much compared to Chrome. I wished it looked more like desktop Chrome in the sense of the UI elements looking more like it. For example, I don't like how everything is so curved. I don't need my web page to be curved. That intefers with the actual web content. I'll gladly pay for premium when these things happen, but for now... no.
2 ★ this browser crashes everytime! i can't get past having just 5 tabs open at the same time. I'm regretting this purchase!!
1 ★ Looks great, but becomes usless with no copy and paste.
4 ★ Simply Great. Works well in mobile without DeX too. However, the mark at the bottom of the browser is a bit annoying. Fix that and its perfect.
5 ★ Finally a great desktop browser for use on Dex. It lets you choose the user- and desktop agent and offers a bookmarks bar, basically all features that mobile browsers are missing is included in here. Thanks for building this amazing browser app!
5 ★ this is the next official desktop master other wise from fire fox and it's nice and smooth just like fire fox I love it it works great perfect for me my j7prim2 seems to work well with it too it's perfectly acceptable for me thank you developers for this omazing browser
3 ★ This browser definitely has potential, it needs print option, history option, better adblocking, more CTRL shortcut support and maybe google extension, but over all I like what seeing.
2 ★ how many times is this app going to crash i have a s10+ so its not my phone fix your app also you cant run netflix or hulu on here but on the samsung internet you can but overall this is the best browser for samsung dex but it just keeps cRASHING
