About this app

Puffin Web Browser is now subscription-based. In addition to the existing $1/month subscription, two new low-cost prepaid subscriptions are available at $0.25/week and $0.05/day. The exact price is subject to the tax, exchange rate, and Google's pricing policy in each country. Puffin's monthly postpaid subscription offers Android's standard 7-day free trial. Puffin's short-term prepaid subscriptions allow users to pay for Puffin only when they need to use Puffin.

The yearly subscription is retired, and existing subscribers should switch to the monthly subscription when it is time to renew.

Puffin is very fast and seems to be fairly stable, but the ads are a deal breaker for me. Occasionally, when loading a web page, a short video will pop up and you have to watch the entire video to continue using the browser. The other option is to upgrade for a fee. There are plenty of very good completely free browsers available, so why pay for Puffin.

This app used to be a lot better. The only thing I used it for then was viewing flash-based content since no modern mainstream mobile browsers support it, and at that point it wasnt something you had to watch a fullscreen ad for. Now, you can either pay up or have an added layer of advertising. Wouldn't be leaving a negative review if that's just how it always was, but it ticks me off to have a surprise ad in my face when all I wanted to do was look at a 3 second animation.

This app use to be pretty decent. I understand needing ad revenue to function, but this is just ridiculous. They increased the ad amount 10 fold, then even put a limit on how long you can use the app each day before it locks you out and tells you to pay for it. This web browser use to be one of the best around, with flash functions the other browsers didn't have. That is no longer the case though. At this point google chrome has the same exact functionality, but with zero ads. Just get Chrome.

Puffin is free to download from Google Play Store, but a paid subscription is required to use Puffin. There is a one-hour per day ad-sponsored free evaluation for users to determine whether Puffin fits their needs and is worth the paid subscription. For users with light usage, they can leverage the free evaluation without paying for a subscription.

What's new

Thanks for using Puffin. In this release (10.3.0.51674), we fixed several reported issues. In addition, Puffin no longer contains ads.
