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 =====
* $1 per month for Puffin Monthly Subscription
* $0.25 per week for Puffin Weekly Prepaid
* $0.05 per day for Puffin Daily Prepaid

==== Limitations ====
• Puffin’s servers are located in the US and Singapore. Geolocation restrictions of the content may occur if you are based in other countries.
• Puffin is blocked in certain regions (e.g., China, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates) and some educational institutions (e.g., schools in the United States).

I was an early member of this app from both the App Store and Play Store. It was much better when it was free. Now, after six months, they have added a subscription, becoming greedy. I no longer use this app, even though I liked it very much.They claim the subscription is due to piracy, but I have seen the new comments where the bot repeats the same message. Other apps also face piracy issues, yet they only charge for specific tools or use ads to sustain themselves. Those apps are now better.

Naturally, pirating users are unhappy with Puffin's anti-piracy initiatives. Greed, Entitlement, and Dishonesty are the three pillars of piracy. Subscriptions are very effective in fighting against piracy. Hope your review can convince your friends and other habitual pirating users like you not to pirate Puffin.

Why is the background data usage so high? The App is great - it is fast, gives you about all necessary tools you need for a mobile browser, and it supports flash. But there is one thing that annoys me a lot: it sends waaay too much background data. My mobile data limit is 2GB, from which the app alone took 1GB; when looking at the statistics on my phone, it tells me that from this one GB i used 252MB in the foreground, and 759MB in the background, which is VERY unacceptable. Can you please fix this?

the app used to be decent, watch an ad, do your thing. Simple and easy. However with the newer updates the app now REQUIRES, not requests, your location information. I get that targeted ads are worth more, but this is going overboard. There will be an automated response saying something like "buy the premium version to get no ads", which both shows both their underhanded tactics, and their lack of connection with their consumers. do not recommend this app until they stop asking for your location
