Trustpilot sentiment is overwhelmingly negative, averaging a “Poor” rating, primarily due to issues revolving around reliability and performance. Users frequently report that the browser becomes slow, struggles to load pages, and crashes, particularly following system updates.
These updates are mandatory and often lead to critical data loss, such as settings changing, themes being reset, and entire sessions or open tabs being erased without the ability to restore them. Reliability issues relating to basic functions—like restoring previous sessions or closing tabs—are major recurring complaints.
While a few reviewers highlighted the positive aspects of customization and effective privacy extensions (like uBlock Origin), many others expressed deep concerns over trust. These concerns stem from perceptions of questionable data handling and specific corporate actions, such as acquiring and shutting down the consumer tool Fakespot.
Overall, users feel the promise of a powerful, ethical browsing experience is often undermined by core operational instability. 💔
