Highlights

First and foremost, Flash support. Yes, Puffin retains this old-fashioned plugin that most browsers have long abandoned. If you want access to Flash games or media content that hasn't been updated since Tumblr became popular, Puffin can meet your needs. It turns your phone into a mini desktop computer—no additional downloads or complicated workarounds required.

Secondly, there's privacy. Puffin uses end-to-end encryption between your device and cloud servers, ensuring your data is fully protected even if you're having coffee in a less-than-reputable café using open Wi-Fi. It also features an incognito mode that completely erases your activity traces, cleaner than refreshing a TikTok page. This level of protection is invaluable for users who prioritize data security or peace of mind.

Why Choose Puffin?

Super-Fast Speed: Puffin accelerates mobile browsing by offloading workloads from resource-constrained devices to cloud servers, allowing resource-intensive web pages to run incredibly fast on your phone or tablet.

Cloud Protection: All traffic between the Puffin app and Puffin servers is encrypted, effectively preventing attacks from nearby hackers. Using public, insecure Wi-Fi via Puffin is safe, but completely insecure for most browsers.

Latest Flash: We continuously improve our cloud servers and deliver the latest version of Flash Player via the cloud.

Bandwidth Saving: Puffin uses a proprietary compression algorithm to transmit network data to your device, saving up to 90% of bandwidth in everyday web browsing. (Note that playing Flash content or videos requires more bandwidth than normal browsing.)
