About Hermit — Lite Apps Browser 27.2.0
BETTER THAN NATIVE APPS

• They don’t run in the background, which saves battery
• User Scripts: Run your own custom extension scripts!
• Content Blocker: Block ads, malware, misinformation, & targeted propaganda. Built-in & customizable: You can pick what to block.
BETTER THAN TRADITIONAL BROWSERS
COMPARE HERMIT WITH TRADITIONAL BROWSERS
hermit.chimbori.com/features/compare
• Each Lite App opens in its own permanent window, not a new browser tab each time
• Links clicked in other apps can be opened directly in Hermit Lite Apps
• Settings, permissions, themes & icons are saved separately for each Lite App
• Share links from other Android apps to your Lite Apps
SANDBOXES: MULTIPLE PROFILES / CONTAINERS
Hermit is the only Android browser with Sandboxes: Isolated Containers with Multiple Profiles.
• Sandboxes keep your Web browsing isolated in separate containers
• Use multiple accounts, all active at the same time, in the same browser
• Keep work accounts and personal accounts separate
• Ideal for privacy-invasive social sites
• Use permanent Incognito Mode for sites that offer free content to new users
