FAQ:

How effective is the built-in ad blocker compared to browser extensions? In my experience, it is remarkably thorough, eliminating the vast majority of banner ads, pop-ups, and auto-play video ads on common websites. For most users, it will be more than sufficient without needing to configure additional extensions.

Does the 'Data efficiency' feature slow down page loading? Not noticeably. The feature seems to work primarily by blocking unwanted ads and trackers before they load, which actually contributes to the browser's overall speed while simultaneously reducing data consumption.

Can I use background playback for any video site? The picture-in-picture mode works reliably on major platforms like YouTube. However, compatibility with some streaming services can be limited by the websites' own restrictions, which is a common limitation across all mobile browsers.
