What Stargon Browser is for
Stargon Browser is a web browser for Android. The developer, Onecook, describes it as small and lightweight, and it is built around an ad blocker, video downloads and custom fonts. Those three are the features the listing puts first.
Most of what it offers is aimed at reading and watching pages without much interference, and saving media from them. It also covers the usual browser basics such as bookmarks, history and translation.
Blocking ads, images and unsafe sites
The Ad Blocker removes advertising from pages as they load. A separate image blocker lets you stop images from showing on a page, which is useful if you want text only or want pages to load with less on them.
Safe Browsing is listed as a warning feature for dangerous sites. The browser also includes a DNS VPN option, which the listing presents as part of its privacy tools rather than as a full VPN app.
Downloading and playing video and images
Video Download and Image Download save media from the web pages you visit. Downloads can be opened in the built-in file manager, which handles the files already on your device.
The built-in video player can keep playing audio when you leave the browser, which the listing calls Background Play. A capture tool is included for saving what is on screen, and a QR Code Scanner reads codes on web pages.
Reading comfort and display controls
Reader mode strips a page down for easier reading. Dark mode switches the browser's colours, and Custom fonts lets you change the typeface used on pages. Brightness control and Full screen adjust how the page fills and lights the display.
Gesture controls and Shortcuts are there for navigating without menus. PC mode asks sites to load their desktop layout, and Translate is listed as a built-in way to translate pages.
Private browsing, bookmarks and history
Secret mode is a private browsing mode. Bookmarks and History work as in most browsers, keeping saved pages and past visits in one place.
The developer states that Stargon Browser does not collect personal information.
