About Puffin Browser Pro

Puffin Cloud Browser is the client app that accesses the cloud server which runs the web browser. The Puffin client app and the Puffin cloud server do not communicate in HTTP protocol and the data exchange is not in HTML format. The Puffin client app is like the remote desktop client and the Puffin cloud server is like the remote desktop server. Puffin Cloud Browser gives the audience the illusion of a web browser but it is not, in reality, a web browser. Puffin Cloud Browser can only "display" the web content rendered on the cloud servers but can't "render" the web content itself on the client devices.

Consistency/ Reliable

This is the pro version of the app that requires $4.99 purchase. Similar to the free version, this app is also very unreliable. It’s very hit or miss often times it goes down and there is very little or no support. For example, I click the support icon when it goes down and it takes me to a page that does not load at all. I was very surprised because if this is a pro version and requires purchase, you would expect more service. it’s definitely the fact that it goes down so often that it makes it such a poor app if not, it works quite fast.
