Hermit – Lite Apps Browser BETTER THAN NATIVE APPS
• Lite apps take up almost no space, ideal for devices with low storage
• They don’t run in the background, which saves battery
• Scriptlets: Run your own custom extension scripts!
• Built-in customizable content blocker can block ads, malware, misinformation and targeted propaganda. You choose what to block.
BETTER THAN TRADITIONAL BROWSERS
Compare Hermit with traditional browsers: https://hermit.chimbori.com/features/compare
• Each Lite application opens in its own permanent window, not in a new browser tab each time
• Links clicked in other apps open directly in Lite Apps (you need to set Hermit as the default browser)
• Settings, permissions, themes and icons are saved separately for each Lite app
• Share links from other Android apps to your Lite apps
SANDBOX: MULTIPLE PROFILES / CONTAINERS
Hermit is the only Android browser with sandboxes: isolated containers with multiple profiles.
• Sandboxes keep your web browsing isolated in separate containers
• Use multiple accounts, all active at the same time, in the same browser
• Keep business accounts and personal accounts separate
• Ideal for privacy intrusive social sites
• Use permanent incognito mode for sites that offer free content to new users.
