Hermit — Lite Apps Browser 12.2.1

ANDROID P IS BETA SOFTWARE AND CONTAINS BUGS
Hermit crashes on Android P because of Android P bugs, and there is nothing we can do until Google fixes the underlying instability. We pride ourselves on targeting the latest Android stable version, and have done so for the last 3 years. Please don’t leave a bad review because of something that is not our fault.

LITE APPS
Fast, tiny Web Apps with awesome Android integration

With Hermit, you can replace your large native apps with Web-based Lite Apps.

Browse faster, save data, block ads, protect your privacy, browse in Night Mode, Reader View, and customize your Lite Apps with over 20 different settings for every Lite App!

Hermit is under 3 MB, compared to 50MB+ for many popular social networking & news apps.
