United StatesLightning Browser Plus is a simple, fast web browser that focuses on design, security, and efficiency. It uses material design, doesn't 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 - Lightning's 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 browser's chrome. Dark Mode, Light Mode, Color Mode, Night Mode... Anyway, whatever you like, there's 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. Head over to the repository on GitHub to contribute or translate.

Waste of money
I've happily used Lightning+ for many years. It still works fine on my new Android 12 phone, except bookmarks won't import. Tried 2 other browsers, hated them. It's worth manually re-entering my bookmarks to stick with Lightning+. It's SO much faster, the slide out bookmarks/tab list side panels are MUCH more convenient, allowing full use of the screen, and it still blocks ads just fine. -1 star for abandonment. PLEASE UPDATE the best browser out there - don't let it ignobly die of neglect.
Dear admin, are you interested in selling this browser? I will buy it for whatever amount you ask for.

The developer has apparently abandoned this app. One star because he hasn't maintained the app, which was also a paid app. Shameful.
