Soul Browser

Great browser for privacy. Sometimes crashes when loading videos, and also blocks a few downloads here and there. The only other problem is that sometimes the audio doubles because the site is playing audio at the same time as the in built video player. Besides those 3 things, this is the absolute best browser on the playstore, and shall be one of the two apps that always stay on my phone. Thank you for making this amazing app.

Pretty sure I've never reviewed an app on the play store but I feel like I needed to review this browser. This browser is great and the best I've used on mobile. Automatic night mode, pop-up blocker, pull down to refresh, no reload on other tabs, video playback control, and it's fast. Pretty sure this browser has it all and you can customize it to your liking.

Been using Soul for a few days now and I'm impressed. Usually a new browser lasts only a few minutes before I uninstall it for various reasons. Lots of customizations available. I like how a new tab or window opens in the forefront, not in the background where you have to switch tabs to view it. Importing bookmarks was a breeze. Websites render well and load quickly. No problem playing videos. Haven't had any pop-up ads. A few more weeks and this might just become my daily driver. Thanks Soul!

NEAT app. There are so many options available it's a little confusing, so only concentrate on the specific ones you care about and get to the others later. FYI: dark mode is: hamburger, gear, display, UI & browser. Why they forced it to light and not follow the system mode is beyond me. Be sure and try out reader mode, the black and white book icon near the URL in the upper right.

A few months ago the developer completely rebuilt how the browser saves open tabs and the result is massive, the app no longer crashes nearly as much anymore and is much faster! But most importantly is the fact that open tabs are ALL restored even if the app does crash! I absolutely love this browser, it is hands down the best one I have ever used bar none. Super customizable, option to use external video downloader app, and able to backup, export, and import your browser history. 11/10 👍

Absolutely phenomenal. Perhaps the best browser on the market - definitely preferable to both Chrome and Opera for most things. The only thing I wish is that the tab list was available as a plain list as well as a grid, and that tab-specific history could be seen. The history of just the tab, as opposed to the complete browser history. eta; oh! yes, ty, the list/simple mode is what I want - I thought Type was just the menu title, so I never clicked on it, but yes. List option is there.

update: initially gave the app 5 stars but after the latest update, as of October 18th 2024, the ad block functionality has been MASSIVELY downgraded. I'm not sure what the reasoning behind it is and if it's on the devs end, but prior to the update, the ad block was strong and blocked almost 99% of ads - it was perfect. but as of now, the ad block seems to be absolutely broken and is blocking almost ZERO ads. FIX THIS and i'll update my review.

It's a good option to Google. Lots of options. Swipe functions with adjustable locations for use. Took some getting used to but after a few months I really like it. Devs always respond to your emails promptly. Continual maintenance n performance done. All I can say is I was tired of the big G and wanted something different. After a few no go I found Soul n been with it since.

It's a amazing app. I thought Firefox was the best mobile browser untill I came upon this. Feels nice on my S10E, even the browser works smooth on my A03s, my lower end phone. Only thing I get annoyed is that prompt that the ad blocker ( which works well ) shows when it detected a ad but it's not a crucial issue. I love the browser. Would recommend anyone this, even those with a mid-range devices😄

This is without a doubt a 5 star browser and imho one of if not THE best browser out for Android, it's customization options are awesome.. performs almost flawlessly no matter how many tabs you open.. and Devs consistently work on updating & adding valuable new features. I just have 2 small issues keeping it from being perfect.. First is whenever I try to type in a web address in the bar it always immediately closes my keyboard & can't figure out why? Second is the new icon HAS to go please!!!

This is a really good App. The devs clearly put a lot into it. It's probably the smoothest browsing experience I've had on any platform. It has many useful features, probably too many for a browser app. (Edited)As I promised, 5 stars. Please make fingerprint screen dark background when in night mode. White background not good for my eyes.

Great app overall—got everything I need! Just one important feature missing: when I play videos using the in-app player, subtitles don’t load automatically. I always have to download them separately and upload them manually, which is inconvenient. Please add automatic subtitle fetch and load support. Thanks!

Downgrading my rating from 5 stars to 2. The latest update broke formatting. Webpages now extend behind the tabs bar meaning I can't click buttons on certain pages. Search suggestions now also pop up in front of the search bar so I can't see what I'm typing. Browser is now practically unusable after working great for years.

The best browser I've found, it's simple, feels smooth, and has many customizations. The only problem i have is when you're in full screen it will automatically detect it as a vidoe and will have vidoe controls making it impossible to play browser games or go into full screen normally.

This is THE most customizable, power-user friendly browser on Android. Bar NONE after trying a dozen of them. The only thing I wish it supported was extensions! (This is my humble request that you port the browser to Blink or Gecko. :P) UPDATE: Rating temporarily dropped to 4 stars as Userscripts don't appear to be working properly. For example, using a simple script to redirect Reddit to Old Reddit doesn't work for some reason. I verified the scripts as working in TamperMonkey. Please fix!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! and that's seriously saying something, as I'm very critical against anything. This browser is faster than dozens of others I've tried. It also uses the least resident memory and storage and mobile data. If I could sum this app up with 2 words, it would be "black magic" because idk how it's more feature packed and technical than anything else, yet it takes up the smallest footprint. And it's free. I wish I'd known of this sooner. Devs are true artists

Near perfect android browser that nails functionality, customization, and compatibility. For power users, Soul may be in the current top spot. Criticisms are the UI is clunky and because Soul is trying to so many things, is quite cumbersome and tedious navigating to what you want to tweak. Streamlining the experience would be welcome.
