Via browser is known for its simplicity, lightness and speed. It is also a well-known Android browser. It has more than 10 million downloads in the Google Play store. Recently, Via browser has been launched in the App Store, so that iPhone / iPad users can finally try it Try this lightweight mobile browser. The iOS version of the Via browser just launched is only 5.5 MB in size. What is the concept? It is possible that high-quality photos taken by mobile phones exceed this size, sounds amazing!

Although the Via browser is very streamlined, there are many functions, such as very basic tabs, bookmarks, browsing history, incognito mode, sharing, iCloud synchronization, setting the default search engine, and customizing the homepage, Built-in ad blocking function (Ad blocking), choose a different User Agent, switch desktop or mobile version of the webpage, night mode, block pop-up windows, support oil monkey script, etc.

It is very useful that Via browser can directly view the source code of the web page, vConsole, translation or display pictures only when Wi-Fi connection.

According to the developer, the Via browser will not push news or any content to ensure that it uses the least memory on the device. All these functions are included in 5.5 MB, which is incredible anyway (what are those fat mainstream browsers packed... ), friends who want to play with it can download it from Apple's App Store application.

STEP 1

After opening the Via browser, the first screen is very streamlined. The design is not much different from other browsers, but it is much cleaner. Enter a keyword search or URL at the top, and the menu bar below has the next page, home page, or open tabs to view other website tabs that are open at the same time.

STEP 2

The Via browser opens web pages very quickly. Clicking the tab of the button below will list the pages that have been opened. Of course, you can close or open a new web page at any time. The operation is very intuitive. For those who want to jump to Via browser from other browsers It won't take too much time to get familiar with the interface and related functions.


STEP 3

Click the menu below to see night mode, bookmarks, browsing history, downloads, incognito mode, share, add bookmarks, desktop version, tools and related settings. When using it for the first time, you may need to go to Search Engine to browse by default Adjust the browser to the version you are used to (the default is Sougou, which is not a search engine option that Taiwanese users will use).


In the search engine, there are options familiar to users such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo. In addition, you can also choose the type of home page you want to use, such as the default home page, a blank page, or setting a specific URL as the home page.


STEP 4

The Via browser has many setting functions, among which there is a built-in " advertising blocker ", which uses the built-in filter to hide the advertisements appearing on the webpage as much as possible, which will help to obtain better browsing effect and speed, and another On the one hand, it can also save traffic consumption and achieve more power-saving effects.

STEP 5

As mentioned above, the Via browser also has the functions of searching pages, storing web pages, translating, viewing source code, full-screen browsing, picture control, User Agent and vConsole. It is almost as powerful as a browser on a computer! Among them, I think the function of viewing the source code of the web page is very useful. After all, it is difficult to use this function in ordinary mobile browsers. Please refer to the article "No need to download and install the app! View the source code of the web page on iOS devices iPhone and iPad".

But it can be used directly in the Via browser, which saves a lot of trouble.


Three reasons why it's worth a try:

  • Only 5.5 MB in size, experience a faster, lighter browsing experience while retaining functionality

  • Despite the lightness of the app, Via Browser still has all the features a browser should have

  • Do not push news or other advertising content, ensure the fastest speed and use the least memory
