Puffin on Android

Because of Puffin's high performance, the interface of the system does not offer a wide range of features. The browser is designed for standard web surfing to watch videos, download flash games, and quick access to frequently visited sites. Installation of Puffin Browser is available for Android 4.0+. The program interface supports a version for the Russian-speaking audience.

Faster media downloads

Puffin Browser is based on a powerful engine that allows you to instantly perform jаvascript and download the entire page. Processing speed is associated with cloud-based URL compression, typical of many mini-browsers. The server responsible for issuing sites, copies data from other search engines, resulting in a significant reduction in response time web browser. Puffin's benchmark performance is up to 5 times faster than Chrome's. At the same time, the resource intensity of the software and the load on the OS is minimal.

IP address masking

By installing Puffin on your smartphone, the user becomes "invisible" without an encrypted VPN connection. Search queries are masked as the address of one of Puffin's servers.

What it does:

• Hiding your real location.
• Data encryption.
• Private web surfing.

The function is due to the aforementioned "url crunching", which is connected directly from the browser's cloud using end-to-end encryption technology. Therefore, when the user enters a query or clicks on a link, the tracking points to the IP address of the host, not the mobile device.

Flash Player

The built-in flash player allows you to play music, videos and games without installing additional software. The built-in flash codec can be used to download applications on social networks, view animations, and videos from search engines, except for HTML5 format.

The free version of the browser supports Adobe Flash only during daytime hours. To view media, simply click the Play or Start icon. The capabilities of the player are somewhat limited. Play and pause buttons are available to the user, and there are no functions to rewind the track and change the volume.

Touchpad with cursor emulation

The option is convenient for those who use the browser to search for information all the time. When it's difficult to follow a link, you just switch on the electronic mouse, move the highlighted cursor to the required area and open a new tab on the first try.

Virtual Gamepad

Puffin brought a virtual gamepad into the interface. Gamepad is tiny, so it can be used not in all flash games. The performance of the joystick is directly dependent on the Android version. The fresher the firmware, the better the response.

Theme customization

In the browser you can customize the start page splash screen display, change the color schemes of the drop-down panels. Downloading themes from Chrome and Opera stores is not available.

Puffin Browser is a web browser optimized for mobile devices with fast loading pages. The browser is designed for active web users who read news, watch videos, listen to music or play online games. Due to the low power consumption of cloud surfing, installing Puffin is recommended for devices with limited battery life.
