About Hermit — Lite Apps Browser 18.2.0
BROWSE WITH LITE APPS
Premium
Replace large, bulky, slow native apps with tiny, lean, blazing-fast Web-based Lite Apps.
“Sufficiently advanced technology that is indistinguishable from magic.”
• But there’s no magic. Lite Apps are still Web applications.
• Hermit offers an excellently-designed app to wrap them into a thoroughly enjoyable experience. See our reviews!
• Each Lite App opens in its own app-like window.
• Hermit doesn’t open new windows if your Lite App is already open (unlike other browsers!)
• Links clicked in other apps open directly in Lite Apps.
• Every customization setting is configurable individually for every Lite App.

PRIVACY FIRST
Unlike other browser makers, we are not in the business of selling ads or your personal information. You pay for our app with money, not your privacy. Most features can be used for free.

• JavaScript Blocker: makes many pages load faster.
SANDBOX (Early Access Feature)
Hermit is the only Android browser with Sandboxes: isolated Containers with Multiple Profiles.
• Separate your work accounts from personal accounts.
• Create a separate sandboxed environment for privacy-invasive sites.
• Use multiple accounts, all active at the same time, in the same browser.
• Use Incognito Mode for sites that offer preferential treatment to first-time users (e.g. free access to paywalled content).
ADVANCED BROWSER FEATURES

• Reader App: Article extraction is done on-device to protect your privacy.
• Dark Mode: Great for late night reading!

ANDROID SYSTEM INTEGRATION
• Share from Android Apps: Share text & links from any Android app to Lite Apps.
• Add to Home Screen: Other browsers merely add an icon and forget all your settings. Hermit saves all settings individually.
• Atom/RSS Feed Notifications: Get immediately notified when a web site publishes new content.
• Web Monitors: Feeds not supported? Hermit can monitor any specific part of any web page & notify you when it changes.
UNLIMITED CUSTOMIZATION
No other browser lets you customize so many settings!
