Speed, Simplicity, Security. Lightning makes browsing the web better.
Features Lightning Browser - Web Browser
Lightning is a simple, fast web browser that focuses on design, security, and efficiency.
It uses material design, doesnt track you, give you lots of options to protect your privacy.
It gets out of the way of the user.
I built this browser because I wanted something better.● Ad blocking - Blocking ads is a core feature of Lightning Browser, meant to improve the speed and security of your browsing experience.● Design - Lightnings interface was carefully crafted so you can browse as efficiently as possible.
Tabs and Bookmarks are all tucked neatly away in side drawers, only a swipe away, allowing maximum screen viewing with minimal interference from the browsers chrome.
Dark Mode, Light Mode, Color Mode, Night Mode...
Anyway, whatever you like, theres a mode for you.● Speed - By utilizing the WebKit rendering engine that comes built into your Android device, Lightning can ensure a swift, lightweight experience.● Privacy - Use Incognito Mode to browse without leaving a footprint, download Orbot and turn on TOR proxy support to mask your identify and location, use StartPage or DuckDuckGo for your search engine, or disable settings that you think leave you at risk.
Whatever your concern, Lightning will try to help.● Features - Full-screen, check.
Inverted Rendering, check.
All the search engines you want, check.
Search Suggestions, Bookmarks, History, User Agents, Reading Mode, whatever you need, Lightning does it.● Open-source - Just as Android open-source, so is Lightning.
I believe that the best software is built when communities come together to engineer the best solution.

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"some websites are not loading. i am an android 5.1 user and when i access websites like github the app will load it but when you interact with the website the app will close itself. it is still usable for simple google search but it will be awesome if you can access all the website with this super lightweight browser."

"It's simple and easy to use. Has some security options that other minimalist browsers seem to lack. It would be nice to have a whitelist for sites so that, for example, cookies from sites you trust will not be deleted if you clear the cookies."
