Lightning Browser Plus - Web Browser
Speed, Simplicity, Security - Lightning makes browsing the web better.
Lightning Browser Plus is a simple, fast web browser that focuses on design, security, and efficiency. It uses material design, doesnt track you, give you lots of options to protect your privacy. It gets out of the way of the user. I built this browser because I wanted something better.What this contains over the free version:● Unlimited open tabs● Custom ad blocking source controls, choose from default hosts file, local hosts file, or remote hosts file● Ad blocking - Blocking ads is a core feature of Lightning Browser, meant to improve the speed and security of your browsing experience.● Design - Lightnings interface was carefully crafted so you can browse as efficiently as possible. Tabs and Bookmarks are all tucked neatly away in side drawers, only a swipe away, allowing maximum screen viewing with minimal interference from the browsers chrome. Dark Mode, Light Mode, Color Mode, Night Mode... Anyway, whatever you like, theres a mode for you.● Speed - By utilizing the WebKit rendering engine that comes built into your Android device, Lightning can ensure a swift, lightweight experience.● Privacy - Use Incognito Mode to browse without leaving a footprint, download Orbot and turn on TOR proxy support to mask your identify and location, use StartPage or DuckDuckGo for your search engine, or disable settings that you think leave you at risk. Whatever your concern, Lightning will try to help.● Features - Full-screen, check. AdBlock, check. Inverted Rendering, check. All the search engines you want, check. Search Suggestions, Bookmarks, History, User Agents, Reading Mode, whatever you need, Lightning does it.● Open-source - Just as Android open-source, so is Lightning. I believe that the best software is built when communities come together to engineer the best solution.

Randy. Yo. :D
The developer has apparently abandoned this app. One star because he hasn't maintained the app, which was also a paid app. Shameful.
I like the browser but I expected the ad blocker to block YouTube ad's which it doesn't. The main purpose of my download was blocking YT ad's.
Been my favorite browser for years
Sorry, but charging for browser then not updating since 2019 a bit slack. In page video links stuttering and text suddenly changing, crashing on some sites is turning a well designed app into a poorly executed one. Sorry Anthony, not good enough.
Great browser
dev died I think. no update since 2019
Nice UI works good and can only get better
No updates. Bookmarks import errors.
This is the best browser with 1 issue... Crashes when I try to import any bookmarks from another browser
