  • Features - Enjoy full-screen browsing, inverted rendering, multiple search engine options, search suggestions, bookmarks, history, user agents, reading mode, and anything else you require—Lightning Browser has it covered.
  • Open-source - Just like Android, Lightning is open-source. It fosters collaboration within communities to engineer the best solution. Visit the GitHub repository to contribute or translate.
