Better Than Native Apps



  • Lite Apps: Take up almost no space, making them ideal for low storage devices.

  • Battery Efficiency: They don’t run in the background, which saves battery life.

  • User Scripts: Run your own custom extension scripts!

  • Content Blocker: Block ads, malware, misinformation, and targeted propaganda. This feature is built-in and customizable, allowing you to choose what to block.

Better Than Traditional Browsers


Compare Hermit with Traditional Browsers



  • Each Lite App opens in its own permanent window, avoiding the clutter of new browser tabs.

  • Links clicked in other apps can be opened directly in Hermit Lite Apps.

  • Settings, permissions, themes, and icons are saved separately for each Lite App.

  • Share links from other Android apps to your Lite Apps with ease.

Sandboxes: Multiple Profiles / Containers


Hermit is the only Android browser featuring Sandboxes: Isolated Containers with Multiple Profiles.



  • Sandboxes keep your web browsing activities isolated in separate containers.

  • Use multiple accounts, all active simultaneously within the same browser.

  • Maintain separation between work and personal accounts.

  • Ideal for privacy-invasive social sites.

  • Utilize permanent Incognito Mode for sites offering free content to new users.
