Report an issuePuffin Cloud Browser is the client app that accesses the cloud server which runs the web browser. The Puffin client app and the Puffin cloud server do not communicate in HTTP protocol and the data exchange is not in HTML format. The Puffin client app is like the remote desktop client and the Puffin cloud server is like the remote desktop server. Puffin Cloud Browser gives the audience the illusion of a web browser but it is not, in reality, a web browser. Puffin Cloud Browser can only "display" the web content rendered on the cloud servers but can't "render" the web content itself on the client devices.

8 of 25Browser crashes when trying to change button mapping on gamepad. Needs a fix asap
I will not in good conscience recommend any app from these developers. Just another greedy developer looking to rob its customers. Hope this helps…? Have a day you deserve, developers. 😇🤨
Hey I find a bug everytime I try to change the button layout it closes the app so please fix that immediately thank you have a good day
No way, this is a total scam, I can’t even click the page I try to open after paying $5 ???
Fix the data
Really gone down in quality over the years. Unusable now. Gonna find another browser app
This app is useless now. It pops up with the “I’m not a robot” message and doesn’t even allow you to click on the photos. Been that way for months now and I had to pay for this app. It needs to be fixed asap.
Love it
