COMPARE HERMIT WITH TRADITIONAL BROWSERS

• 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

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
1 ★I've switched to Native Alpha. It does what I need without any obstructive features. Don't bother using this if you need to click on anything in the bottom right corner, like a send button for a chat feature. There's a gear icon that will pop up if you barely swipe down at all and it won't go away like it's supposed to. Devs have obstinately refused to provide an option to disable the feature even though that would make everyone happy with minimal effort. Very Apple of them.
5 ★Pretty interesting concept for a browser that focuses on creating kind of web apps. Thanks!
5 ★A great way to avoid the need to install apps for everything.
1 ★Unable to login using sandbox
2 ★Was good when it worked. Since a couple of updates ago it's of no use anymore. Just trying to scroll a page ends up with: This site can’t be reached net::ERR_FAILED
3 ★The sandbox feature is premium and also limited. You can only use the default sandboxes, which are 11. so you can have in max 11 different accounts at the same time but I needed more. if you allow it could be much better.
2 ★paid for full premium excited that the "force copy text" might be different than the one in chrome but nope, doesn't work on the one site I need this feature. the other features are mostly available in chrome too except for the container. wish it came with some cool scripts for people who CAN'T code. tracking webpage changes doesn't say how often it works & i'm used to all the features in web alert app. EDIT: can't can't use the website tracking features unless you know how programming stuff.
5 ★innovative
5 ★Good 👍👍
5 ★Make element blocker selector like uBlock Origin please! Other than that, this app is already perfect
