An excellent brower. The good: 1) smoothest scrolling compared to other Chromium based browsers; 2) it has 2nd best dark mode rendering in all the browsers and extentions I've tried, soothing to the eyes and nearly prob free (the best to my taste is Samsung Internet which almost never has rendering or contrast issue) 3) it has extension support; 4) privacy friendly. The bad: its updating pace seems a bit slow. Keep up the good work!

When I tap on the icon to launch it, it'll show the browser for a moment and then just crash as if I exited it. It does this dozens of times when I try to open it until it stays opened in a "preview page" or something. What's going on? I also turned off all extensions to make sure, but it's the same no matter what. I cleared cache as well. Same problem.

The features are good and I appreciate the ad blocking function. However like most chromium based browser with ad blockers, Google assistant seemed to be not working on top of the browser. If you press hold the android home button or say ok Google while the browser is opened, the Google Assistant UI will not show up, although you can still say out the command and it will still respond Edit: Still doesn't work for me. I am using Android Pie on Pixel 2 XL if that helps
