Torch Browser

Image 4 of 5

Torch Browser is a fast, powerful, feature-rich web browser. We love that it’s fully customisable while still delivering a safe and secure browsing experience. Perhaps it’s coolest feature is ‘Easy Sharing’ – which allows you to instantly post to Facebook or Twitter without having to visit the sites themselves. Its media button is great if you casually listen to music while online – allowing you to instantly save a song file that takes your fancy. Clever. It also features ‘Torrent Easy’. As the name suggests, this built-in torrent function allows you to use and manage torrent download tasks directly from the browser, without having to download additional software.
