About this app

Puffin Web Browser is now subscription-based. In addition to the existing $1/month subscription, two new low-cost prepaid subscriptions are available at $0.25/week and $0.05/day. The exact price is subject to the tax, exchange rate, and Google's pricing policy in each country. Puffin's monthly postpaid subscription offers Android's standard 7-day free trial. Puffin's short-term prepaid subscriptions allow users to pay for Puffin only when they need to use Puffin.

The yearly subscription is retired, and existing subscribers should switch to the monthly subscription when it is time to renew.

🚀 Wicked Fast: With our cloud servers handling even the most resource-demanding web pages effortlessly, websites can load at incredible speeds.

🔒 Cloud Protection: All Internet traffic from the app to our servers is end-to-end encrypted, therefore making it safe to use public, non-secure Wi-Fi.

🎥 Flash Support: We constantly provide improvements to our servers, and the ability to view Flash content through the cloud.

💰 Data Savings: Puffin uses a proprietary compression algorithm to transmit web data to your device, and can save up to 80% of your bandwidth on regular web browsing. (Please note that streaming Flash content or videos requires more bandwidth than normal usage.)

Features:
• Unparalleled loading speeds
• Fastest JavaScript engine
• Ad Blocker Included
• Mobile & Desktop modes for a full web experience
• Download to cloud capabilities (up to 1GB in size per file)
• Theater mode for Flash videos and games
• Virtual Trackpad & Gamepad
• Adobe Flash Support

===== In-App Purchases =====

latest update gave option to send data to puffin. if you de-select it you cant run the program. Sad. I selected it begrudgingly but Puffin then crashed. it put up a crash report screen which I couldn't back out if without putting my email in, which was flagged as optional. At this point I un-installed it. Sad. been using it for years. You forgot to mention though that this is as a result of the latest update.

Hi, Ads are served in the free version of Puffin. We work with third-party collaborators to collect anonymized location data to improve the accuracy of ads, maps and search results. If you don’t want to share your location data, please upgrade to the paid version of Puffin.

Absolutely atrocious. It ended up using 9.5 gigs on my phone, accounting to even more of 12.5 gigs overall. This was in hidden cache, and this equated to more than 700 Spotify songs, hell, even double that wouldn't take up as much space. Do not install, it now wants your location, and I'm not having any of that. You're a browser, you don't need more accurate results based on my location, go away. Let this review be seen, this app used to be okay, but is a memory and is a personal data mine.

I remember using puffin. Loved going to the hoops and yoyo website with flash included. And I like that I can still use it today. What I don't like is that the web automatically refreshed to a tab for subscription. even removing it causes a problem. It automatically sends you there at the speed of sonic later. Edit: after seeing the reply, I understand. However, couldn't you do fix pirating without subscription? Btw, could you at least not let it automatically every second?

Due to excessive pirating, Puffin requires a paid subscription to curb piracy. Please install and subscribe to Puffin from Google Play Store. Puffin continued its rapid growth despite review bombs on the mandatory subscription. Puffin Web Browser has more than 100M downloads -- fewer than 0.03% out of 3 million Android apps achieved this milestone.

What’s new

Puffin Web Browser is subscription-based and does not contain ads. In this release (10.4.1.51678), we fixed several reported issues. Thanks for using Puffin.
