Lightning is a simple, fast web browser that prioritizes design, security, and efficiency. It features material design and offers a plethora of options to protect your privacy. The focus is on providing an unobtrusive browsing experience. The browser was developed to meet the demand for a superior product.

Ad blocking - Blocking ads is an essential feature of Lightning Browser, enhancing the speed and security of your browsing experience.
Design - Lightning's interface has been meticulously designed to enable efficient browsing. Tabs and Bookmarks are neatly tucked away in side drawers, easily accessible via a swipe. Minimal interference from the browser's chrome allows for maximum screen viewing. Additionally, a wide variety of modes provide customization options.
Speed - By utilizing the WebKit rendering engine inherent in your Android device, Lightning guarantees a swift and lightweight experience.
Privacy - Browse without leaving a trace using Incognito Mode, mask your identity and location with TOR proxy support through Orbot, opt for privacy-focused search engines like StartPage or DuckDuckGo, and adjust settings based on your concerns. Lightning aims to address all your privacy needs.
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.
Free - Consider upgrading to the paid version for AdBlock and Unlimited Tabs. The free version provides support for up to ten tabs simultaneously.
