Perfect Browser: Ad Blocker

So many things that call themselves “Perfect” are actually junk, but in this case it really very nearly is perfect! The customization possibilities are nearly endless. My favorite part is that it does private browsing the way it should be done, where each tab is isolated from the next. I just leave it in private all the time. If you are a technically minded person, you owe it to yourself to try this. It’s far better than any of the other alternative browsers, and I’ve tried them all. The one thing that is missing to me is “undo close tab”. Maybe this is deliberate for privacy reasons, but just allowing it for a short time would be great because the close buttons on the tabs - which I love having, btw - can be easy to hit as they should be. Unfortunately as a human I can’t be perfect all the time 😀

I bought the iPhone version of this app many years ago because it provided the ability to view desktop versions of websites on my iPhone. I have not been able to view Yahoo Mail in desktop view on Safari, chrome or Firefox. I decided to try perfect browser pro, which is not cheap at $10, because it stated they provided multiple desktop emulations. I downloaded it and tried it with Yahoo Mail and still ran into the same problem despite trying every desktop emulation provided. However, I did notice that it is fast and has quite a few advanced features. I uploaded my bookmarks, many of which are in folders, to perfect browser. I learned that if you want to type in the address bar and have your bookmarks show up, you need to import with the "don't create folders" option on. That creates a flat bookmark file. I liked how you could customize the theme and have control over many options, such as clearing your cookies on Exit. What really impressed me was the Ad blocking. It passed with flying colors on a couple of different ad test sites and I have yet to be nagged that I have an ad blocker. Thumbs up on that. It's been three days and I haven't heard from the developer on the emulation issue with Yahoo! Mail. Otherwise I might give it a full five stars. It may still become my main browser.

Used the legacy version of Perfect Browser for years and thought it was the best browser on IOS for the web. I wanted to support the app developer so I purchased the new Pro version. It’s just a faster, more polished, customizable version of the legacy version that’s visually now more in line with IOS11, whereas the older legacy version now looks dated. It really should be your default browser of choice. If you started using Perfect Browser pro and then went back to Safari, Chrome or Firefox, you would feel so much less productive while web surfing. Gestures are just the best for getting around the web to swipe and finger tap, access bookmarks, etc., all while in full screen. Once you start using Perfect Browser legacy or pro, you won’t go back to anything else.

This is by far the best and most feature rich browser on the App Store. Plus the support is first rate. I have contacted them many times over the last couple of years. They answered promptly and always had a solution available. Having the best product available without support of that product makes it a sub par product overall. With this browser you get the best of both worlds, outstanding support and a first rate browser that allows you to customize up the wazoo.

Used to love this browser told any one I met how much you can customize it and its worth it to pay the pro then they stopped updating the app tweaked the name and are trying to get their first customers to pay again for pro , I dont understand this logic still have the original pro app have tried to use it but since it no longer updates it randomly crashes and i have to re-open the app feels like the last update of the older app made it this way to try and force you to switch over to the tweaked name “Pro” version again , But sorry these days you cant just keep shelling out 8$ whenever an app decides to Tweak their name and change the icon to lightning symbol .
