Hermit — Lite Apps Browser Description
BETTER THAN NATIVE APPS

• Lite Apps take up almost no space, best for low storage devices
• They don’t run in the background, which saves battery
User Scripts: Run your own custom extension scripts!
Content Blocker: Block ads, malware, misinformation, & targeted propaganda. Built-in & customizable: You can pick what to block.

BETTER THAN TRADITIONAL BROWSERS

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

Comments about Hermit — Lite Apps Browser Android Version
Amazing app for creating a standalone experience for Web pages that don't otherwise have the option. I would like to see the ability to toggle a "stay awake" mode that would at least keep the screen running, but would ideally just keep the page alive in the background so long tasks can keep running. Specifically, I'm using this for connecting to my local network Stable Diffusion and if the screen times out, the phone puts the app in background mode and the job gets lost.
I absolutely adore this app! I really enjoy being able to easily organize all my browsing sites in a clear and easy to see manner. I'm very visual and incredibly forgetful, so to see all of my regularly visited sites lined up and easy to see is such a breakthrough when dealing with memory problems. My only big issue is one rhat I've encountered only this year wherein I can no longer use my keyboard clipboard to paste things in hermit lite apps. I don't know why.
Couldn't figure out how to log in to a site using Google's auth. I looked in the help, but it does not match the interface. For instance it is telling me to turn on specific settings, but those settings do not exist in the current incarnation of Hermit. And no, I am not going to contact you through the in-app interface. Other users deserve to know that your app is frustrating to use. Fix your help.
