Aloha Browser - Private VPN

What Aloha Browser is for

Aloha Browser is an Android web browser from Aloha Mobile that combines private browsing with a VPN, an ad blocker and a file downloader. It is listed under Tools and is aimed at people who want their browsing kept out of view and who also download videos, music or documents from the web.

Most of its features sit in the browser itself, so a person would use it as their everyday browser and reach for the VPN, blocker or downloads manager as needed.

Private tabs and the password-protected vault

Aloha Browser offers incognito-style tabs that the listing says keep browsing private. A secure vault sits alongside them and is protected by a password, so saved items can be locked away from anyone else using the phone.

The developer describes this section as a way to add security on top of ordinary private browsing.

Built-in VPN and ad blocking

The browser includes its own VPN, which the listing describes as free and unlimited. The developer says it is meant for anonymous browsing and for reaching sites blocked by geographic restrictions, so the VPN runs inside Aloha Browser rather than as a separate app.

A built-in ad blocker removes adverts from pages as you browse. The listing presents it alongside the browser's privacy protection features, and says it is intended to speed up page loading.

Downloading and playing video and music

A downloads manager saves videos, music and other files from the web. Once downloaded, media can be played in a mini video player or an offline music player, so playback does not need a connection.

The listing says the video player supports gesture control, which is intended for watching movies, concerts and opera without leaving the browser.

Sending files between devices over Wi-Fi

A Wi-Fi file sharing feature lets you transfer files between your devices directly over a local network. The developer describes this as a private way to move content, and it sits alongside the downloads manager so files you save can be moved on without a separate app.
