Puffin Browser is an old acquaintance, already reported in 2012 as the browser that displays flash sites without the need to install plugins or extensions. Puffin now deserves to be reported and recommended again because compared to 5 years ago it has really evolved and has become one of the best browsers that can be downloaded and installed on any device, ideal as a secondary browser on Windows PC, on Android smartphones and tablets, on iOS, iPhone and iPad devices .
The strength of Puffin browser lies not only in its being fast and super performing in loading websites, but also in its internal and predefined functions, which allow you to freely navigate each site without censorship and without geographical restrictions, to save data and open pages even with Flash content, without installing any additional plugins .
Puffin is a really essential and simple browser, one of those with few options, that works well for surfing the internet, which opens any type of website without problems. While the loading speed is its primary feature, Puffin browser, both in the version for iPhone and iPad that in the version for Android and for Windows PC, includes an automatic compressor that acts by passing the internet connection through a server remotely before viewing the requested site. A bit like Opera Turbo did, Puffin compresses the sites making them faster to load and, at the same time, it disguises the IP address making the websites appear to be from the USA. The result is that Puffin manages to open all sites as if navigating from the USA, thus bypassing geographic blockages due to censorship or violation of laws.
The Puffin Browser, then, again through its "Cloud Server", includes Flash technology, runs it on its servers and then shows it to users on the terminal. In practice, when you visit a site with Puffin, the navigation is filtered by the servers that process Flash animations showing the contents on the small screens of smartphones or tablets. Puffin Web Browser also allows you to play online video games and watch Flash videos in full screen . To enable flash on Android and iPhone you need to request the desktop version of the open site, using the menu button.
The virtual mouse function of Puffin then allows you to make the mouse arrow appear on the mobile phone screen in order to click in the right places to close the advertisements and control the video player when you open a normal site not optimized for mobile.
Finally, there is the incognito mode, both in the PC version and in the mobile version, in order to navigate without storing data and without using already saved cookies.
- Puffin for Windows is a very quick and simple browser, with a menu of extremely sensitive and essential options, with a button in the upper left corner where you can enable or disable data compression via the Cloud Server.
- Puffin for Android works very well, fast and with active data saving, with special functions to virtually activate a mouse, a joypad and an on-screen keyboard, capable of opening flash content and bypassing restrictions. Puffin Browser is also great for use on the Fire TV Stick.
- Puffin for iPhone is the browser to load Flash sites, which works well even if it receives less updates than the decidedly more cured version for Android.
In other articles I remember:
