The Dolphin Browser is a web browser for the Android and iOS operating systems developed by MoboTap Inc. It was one of the first alternative browsers for the Android platform[5] that introduced support for multi-touch gestures.[6] Dolphin Browser uses its native platform's default browser engine.
Both iOS and Android versions are proprietary software with optional in-app purchases.[5] There was an updated version called Dolphin Browser for Android 2.0 or later.[7][8] Dolphin Browser Beta[9] was released in May 2012 with the in-house HTML5 engine Jet pack.[citation needed] In December 2013, Dolphin Zero, a version of the app that claims to be private by automatically deleting browser data, was released.[10]
Privacy concernsedit
In October 2011, privacy concerns were raised about Dolphin browser after it was discovered that all URLs loaded in Dolphin HD were being relayed as plain text to a remote server,[11] a process described by Ars Technica as "an unambiguous breach of privacy".[12] This breach was patched in the next update.[13]
Receptionedit
The Android and iOS versions were praised for their gesture-based functionality,[14] speed, and ease-of-use.[15] In 2011, Steve Kovach of Business Insider claimed "Dolphin Browser blows Safari out of the water."[16] As of March 2024, the browser holds an rating of 2.7 out of 5 on the Apple App Store.[17]
In 2011, it was PC Magazine's best free iPhone and iPad Apps of 2011,[18] also mentioned in the CNET 100,[19] a PC Magazine Editors Choice in 2012.[20]
