It asked for access to storage for downloading files. Sure. But then suddenly, it had access to all of my files and storage information, and it took over cleaning up leftovers when I was uninstalling some things in a completely different app. That's way too much access for a web browser to have, especially when I did not consent to that level of permissions. My mistake I guess for thinking that the built-in file manager was only for files that were downloaded in the Phoenix browser.

This browser is nice & speedy. Would be nice if I there was a toggle switch to remove 'most visited' from the homepage. The ability to add a background image to the homepage would also be nice. Maybe even a drop down menu in the search bar to quickly switch between search engines. Also, needs a remeber selection box, to avoid having to keep clicking download every time you save some thing. Even without those features, I still like this browser.

About the 2nd to last update this browser has an annoying bug where it puts up a small colored icon with the site's URL as the page loads, BUT instead of going away this icon sits in the middle of the page and pulses like a heartbeat. It can't be moved, you can't interact with it. You can browse the page in a normal way otherwise, except this annoying, pulsing icon. Clearing the cache doesn't help, nor does a reboot. My device is a galaxy note 3, but other browsers don't have this problem. So?

It's almost there. Unlike Firefox, Chrome, or Brave it has simple back and forward navigation buttons in the address bar. Like a browser should. Unfortunately there is no way to prevent the address bar from auto-hiding. It's also not possible to set the browser to always ask for a download location, but that is less of an issue. Make it so I can keep the address bar on the screen and I'll use nothing else. Otherwise the search is still on for a simple browser with simple navigation.

Ads in Bowser. I thought it was a good alternative at first and even made it my default. 3 times that in exited the browser and did something else, as soon as I reopened Phoenix, I was met with full screen advertisements that I had to wait 5 seconds for. The annoying kind with the hard to touch "X" in the top right corner. Way too many other options out there to settle for that. Uninstalled.

Its functions are pretty awesome but the glitches are annoying as hell. Every other time I try to open a page, it says "Down For Maintenance 429" and it won't load the page for some indeterminate amount of time, then randomly decides it's no longer under maintenance and works for a few more minutes. ALSO, saved tabs just randomly vanish in chunks when you open the app sometimes which is incredibly irritating. Otherwise, it's honestly a pretty cool browser.
