When it comes to the internet, the browser is the first thing that comes in our mind. We have many apps available to access the internet but the browser is still the most used tool in the world to access the internet. While surfing the internet in the browser information safety security is the first priority. In today's digital word keeping our data safe and secure is highly important and when you know that a browser is doing it for you then it brings a peace of mind to us, Isn't it?
Here Alpha browser comes in the picture which lets you enjoy the internet with complete safety and security of your private data. I have seen main big names who are claiming to be one of the fastest and safest browsers but the reality is completely different. You must have gone through a various news article about data theft and misuse which I think is a serious issue. I am not pointing out against any name but its a bitter reality that we have to agree on and it's not just one. There are a few big names who follow the same tricks. They do not give the complete control to the users rather they do the spy activity with your personal information. Earlier we had no choice but fortunately, we now have a choice and we can go with the Alpha browser which is making our life simple and secure. We know that whatever we share on the internet using this browser will always be ours and there will be no involvement of the third party to use it anyway.

Getting started with Alfa browser is quite easy and hassle-free. You can install the app from iOS app store or Google Play store . Since I am an android user to install this app using Google Play Store. This is the icon of the browser on my Android phone. I have installed the app in the morning and now it's almost half of the day is over, so I have used the browser for about four hours and haven't noticed any lag or performance issue. Here I am sharing the setup process step by step-
After installtion this icon is added.

Feed is another feature that I iked much and it can be customised as per the interest. It is also updated with latest articles accoridgly.
What I did not like about Alpha Browser-
While using this browser I find few some points to improve-
- I use 2 browser in my phone and when I reopen the browser, it keeps the page open for me without even loggin out but with Alpha, everytime I closed, It opened as blank. I did not find any option to have the page opened. Opening site again and doing login is time taking process.
- There is BIllboard option which did not work for me even after trying for multiple time.
Conclusion -
I installed this browser in my phone for review purpose only but its innovative data safety feature conviced me and I will surely continue with it. I understand that this app is not folly feature loaded and have scope for improvement. I hope team must be working on it to make it even better for users.
