It can be frustrating to visit a website on your mobile phone and find that you can’t view its content properly because the site uses Flash. For example, videos may not play because your browser doesn’t support Flash.
Many of the most common mobile browsers, such as Safari on iOS, still aren’t equipped to handle this, so you need to look for an alternative.
Using Puffin Browser for faster browsing
I’ve been using Puffin Browser for a while now to view websites without problems, play Flash videos, and load pages with all their components. It’s faster than other browsers and offers many advantages. Here’s a list.
Key features of Puffin Browser
Here’s how they describe it on their website:
Puffin Web Browser is incredibly fast. Once users experience the thrill of using Puffin, regular mobile browsing feels like torture. Puffin Browser Free is the free version in the Puffin family, and supports cloud-based Adobe Flash for 24 hours.
🚀 Lightning fast: Puffin speeds up mobile browsing by shifting the workload from resource-limited devices to cloud servers, so resource-intensive web pages can run extremely quickly on your phones or tablets.
🔒 Cloud Protection: All traffic between the Puffin app and the server is encrypted, helping protect you from nearby hackers. It’s safe to use an unsecured Wi-Fi network with Puffin, but not with all browsers.
🎥 The Latest Flash: We continually improve our cloud servers and provide the latest version of Flash Player in the cloud.
💰 Save bandwidth: Puffin uses a proprietary compression algorithm to transmit web data to your device and can save up to 90% of bandwidth during regular web browsing (please note that streaming Flash content or videos requires more bandwidth than normal browsing).
Puffin Browser also lets you view the desktop version of many websites that redirect mobile users or show them different content or a different layout.
Free and paid versions of Puffin Browser
It’s worth noting that there’s a free trial version and a paid version. The paid version costs 3.99 dollars for iOS devices—just over 3 euros, which may be worth it if you plan to use it often. If you’re using Android, the current price is 4.49 euros.
As mentioned, the free version is available for both iOS and Android on iTunes and Google Play. You can also search for Puffin Browser on your mobile phone, install it, and browse much faster!
