App Description

BETTER THAN NATIVE APPS

• Lite Apps take up almost no space, best for low storage devices

• 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

ADVANCED BROWSER FOR POWER USERS

It takes a bit of learning & understanding to use Hermit effectively — We’re here to help!
