Its slow, choppy, and constantly crashes.

The app has a lot of bells and whistles.

The ability to quickly switch from desktop to mobile views of a web page is my favorite feature.

It will actually trim down web pages if your connection is weak.

It also supports special modes for your favorite social data pipe.
