DISCLAIMER: Puffin Cloud Browser is NOT a web browser. Puffin Cloud Browser is the client app that accesses the cloud server which runs the web browser. The Puffin client app and the Puffin cloud server do not communicate in HTTP protocol and the data exchange is not in HTML format. The Puffin client app is like the remote desktop client and the Puffin cloud server is like the remote desktop server. Puffin Cloud Browser gives the audience the illusion of a web browser but it is not, in reality, a web browser. Puffin Cloud Browser can only "display" the web content rendered on the cloud servers but can't "render" the web content itself on the client devices. ==== Differentiating Features ==== * Browser Isolation * Cloud Acceleration * Data Saving * Download to Cloud * Flash Game * Full Desktop Mode * Internet Access Protection * Virtual Gamepad/Mouse/Trackpad ==== Important Limitations ==== * Only works on websites that are publicly accessible from the US -- Does not work for private IP, corporate Intranet, and geo-restricted websites * Only works in countries that are not excessive in censorship -- Does not work in China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates * For some websites, Puffin server IP blocks need to be white-listed -- Puffin can bring an excessive load to some websites More info at Puffin FAQ https://help.puffin.com/faq

    Welcome back folks! Im so glad I can use your platform again. Some of us miss old flash games and the inner core of designing only flash could do. You bring life back into legendary sites like Kongregate and Newgrounds! You cracked the code on what those sites struggled with. Stable flash.
  • Super outdated design and buggy

    I’m sure this browser used to be really good, but now, it’s really bad, the design is super old, elements are really slow to load and small, Google looks absolutely atrocious, and scrolling is a nightmare, nothing is where it should be, and I was unable to find a setting to change the search engine. If you want some inspiration for how to make the browser look more modern, Opera and Vivaldi are some greatly designed mobile browsers. Opera takes smooth animations and touch friendliness to next level, while Vivaldi puts everything on the bottom and makes one handed use amazing, including adding in the ability to swipe on the address bar to swipe between tabs. It also has incredible customizations. This market is super competitive, so in order to keep afloat, I recommend updating the UI of the browser, this has some neat ideas going for it, keep that up and with a smooth, modern interface, you would have a real contender for a standalone mobile browser

    I pay the $4.99 yearly subscription, but it keeps telling me I don’t have unlimited internet use and wants me to pay another $.99 a month. I hardly use the browser, there’s no reason I wouldn’t be able to search. Tried to reinstate purchase, no luck.

    I use an old iPhone and recently had no luck accessing Outlook from anywhere. This was until I found Puffin. It has a desktop mode and it uses a way to display the website in an old fashion. Nevertheless, it functions as much as I need. Thanks Puffin!

    Doesn’t work and some of the features are gone. Like the ability to set up the homepage of your choice. That is gone. The default search engine is Google. That is right, Google. One of the two (the other is Facebook) largest and most powerful companies that make their money collecting, sharing, and selling every bit of information they can get about you. With the ability to track you almost everywhere you in the net and monitor everything you do. Specially if you directly use any of their products. On the opposite hand, one of the most private search engines out there, Duckduckgo, doesn't work. If you go to their site using this browser it appears to open up fine, but when you do a search the results page opens up but nothing populates, stays blank. So it pushes you to use an unscrupulous 100% spyware compnay like Google to search the internet, and it won’t allow you to use Duckduckgo. Hmm, that is very suspicious. Additionally, every time you want to use Incognito Tab (their “Private browsing” (wink wink)) you must start a new tab.rather then allowing people to make Incognito tabs default. Similar to Safari. With Safari once you go to “private Browsing,” all tabs you open are private. And separate from other tabs. I honestly see this browser as nothing more or less than spyware. It used to be good, now it’s junk. I wish I could get my money back because it’s now worthless.
