Description of Hermit — Lite Apps Browser

BETTER THAN NATIVE APPS
• Lite Apps take up almost no space, best for low storage devices
• They don’t run in the background, which saves battery
• Scriptlets: Run your own custom extension scripts!
• Content Blocker: Block ads, malware, misinformation, & targeted propaganda. Built-in & customizable: You can pick what to block.
BETTER THAN TRADITIONAL BROWSERS
COMPARE HERMIT WITH TRADITIONAL BROWSERS
https://hermit.chimbori.com/features/compare
• Each Lite App opens in its own permanent window, not a new browser tab each time
• Links clicked in other apps can be opened directly in Hermit Lite Apps
• Settings, permissions, themes & icons are saved separately for each Lite App
• Share links from other Android apps to your Lite Apps
SANDBOXES: 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 work accounts and personal accounts separate
• Ideal for privacy-invasive social sites
• Use permanent Incognito Mode for sites that offer free content to new users

    The UX is horrible. It is illogically designed. While the power and functionality is good, the app needs a thorough overhaul and redesign. It benefits no-one, having functionality that people do not know how to use. Chimbori hypocritically touts their "PhD in Computer Science and HCI" yet their app is poor to set up and modify. I got personally insulted by the developer in a private email. Their response is disingenuous, they cannot take app criticism without getting personal.

    I've used Hermit for ages and watched it continuously improve over that time. I have it setup like an app drawer in my launcher, stashed with Wordle, Facebook, and a number of news sites. It helps cut down on the number of installed apps, which makes things easier to find and less bogged down.

    Purchased premium for sandbox feature. Still different color tagged lite apps of same url can share data. It's the same no matter what sandbox color I set for the lite app.

    Basically many website can be used as apps. And I technically love this. You don't need installing other app if their webapp is better.

    The initial page of a site comes up fine but then all it does is lock up and the Wait for App-Close App message comes up for every single link I click...not so good
