Rocket Browser

It seems that the big tech monopolies are slowly losing ground when it comes to their established browsers. Privacy concerns, data leakage or too many resources required are the main reasons for users to look out for alternative browsers that provide basic and simple web searching functions. As the market is booming, every one of us can find a tool that fits his needs; a tool like Rocket Browser, a neat app that can meet your requirements.

After the installation process is over, a plain page will pop up. The default page comes with a dark background which can be a positive feature for users that have eye problems or for those who usually work during night time.

If you want to change the homepage background, click on Customize (lower right corner) and choose from some Chrome backgrounds or upload your own image. For extra appearance features go to Settings > Appearance and apply the desired changes.

The first thing you can notice on first use is the lack of ads that swarm most of the websites. Even if the ads are direct means of supporting your favorite services, some users are not interested and can find them annoying. However, if you require ads during browsing, they can quickly be unblocked from the settings menu.

If you own a low-specs computer and cannot work with popular browsers due to their huge resource consumption, Rocket Browser could be a better option. A system with 1GB RAM is enough for this browser to run smooth and avoid grinding and stuttering.

Rocket Browser comes as another alternative to big corporate browsers that are deemed by some users hurtful or too needy for their rigs. The app is similar to Chrome regarding the frame and settings, so everybody familiar with it can instantly move to Rocket.
