Puffin Cloud Browser is the client app that accesses the cloud server which runs the web browser. The Puffin client app and the Puffin cloud server do not communicate in HTTP protocol and the data exchange is not in HTML format. The Puffin client app is like the remote desktop client and the Puffin cloud server is like the remote desktop server. Puffin Cloud Browser gives the audience the illusion of a web browser but it is not, in reality, a web browser. Puffin Cloud Browser can only "display" the web content rendered on the cloud servers but can't "render" the web content itself on the client devices.

When I purchased the app i never thought i would need to make a additional pay for just using the app, if i know this I wouldn’t have wasted my cash. Although the app actually did work in what i was looking for i just don't find it right having to pay more then i bargained for.
I do believe I purchased the pro version.

A feature of pro version states it is not sponsored by ads, yet I see the damn buzzfeed ads that are wicked annoying. If you aren't being sponsored by them, why are they there? Just for fun? As a joke? I do not take kindly to the notion that my money is a joke.
They’ve ruined it

This new redesign has made puffin browser look like every other generic browser in the app store. they’ve removed the beautiful options for themes and colours as well as a number of other great features...
Support nonexistent. They charge money but no support.

Is there any support for this browser? My emails to support at Mossa going to a black hole. Nobody ever responded to any queries for last 5 years. Websites no longer open in Puffin and I was told to use a different browser. Since you charge the money just you don't even bother to support customers who pay you money?.?
