CREATE A LITE APP INSTANTLY

BETTER THAN CHROME
Many users ask us why they should use Hermit when Chrome already allows you to add an icon to the home screen. We specifically built Hermit because we feel Chrome is not good enough, and our 1000+ reviewers with 5 stars agree with us. Here’s why:

AD BLOCK
Hermit has a built-in ad blocker with a regularly-updated block list, with no subscription fees, and no root required. Chrome on Android does not have an ad blocker.

LITE APPS ARE NOT JUST ANOTHER BROWSER TAB
Chrome opens a new tab every time you click on an icon. That’s not how native apps work. With Hermit, if you tap on an icon and you already have that app open, it will launch instantly no new tab, no waiting for the page to be downloaded again.

SEPARATE COOKIES TO LIMIT TRACKING
Hermit Lite Apps don’t share cookies with your other Chrome browsing, so tracking scripts such as the Facebook Like button cannot track your Hermit browsing.

AWESOME BOOKMARKS
In Hermit, only the bookmarks relevant to the current Lite App are shown in the Sidebar, making them very easy to find and use. Try it. Chrome’s Bookmarks UI has not changed since the early days of Netscape, and many users are left with 100’s or 1000’s of bookmarks that they can never find again.

CUSTOMIZABLE UI FOR EACH LITE APP
Want to open one Lite App in Desktop mode, but others in Mobile mode? You can do that! Disable loading images for one specific Lite App? Yep, possible. Always launch YouTube in full-screen mode? Yep, you get the idea. Chrome does not even remember the “Request desktop site” setting for each site, even if you add the icon to the home screen.
