How could you break it so much?
In two updates, the greatest web browser on iOS just became a Safari clone with Flash support. With a horrendous UI and other changes, the app has become almost unusable. Searching no longer works properly for some reason on the Wi-Fi I used for the old versions (are they routing all my traffic through a blocked website?) and I cant use any links until every image and flash advertisement on a page is loaded, which can take a minute or more. If they cared about making a usable application instead of being "fresh" and "modern" then they would have listened to the user reviews that have given them a 1-and-a-half-star average on the App Store. Puffin 5.0 deserves to be placed among the great interface failures of our time, along with the mobile YouTube update and Windows 8. Try again, and please listen to your users instead of simply acknowledging their existence.
OLD REVIEW (5.0):
Please change it back. The new design just looks like a bizarre version of Safari. I liked the old design, it was a little unprofessional and quirky, but it fit the Puffin moniker with its colors and skeumorphism. Theres no charm in this new design. Its just all blank colors and blandness. The navigation bar and buttons are also now always visible for some reason, distracting reading. And the tab view was crippled as well - instead of seeing all my tabs on one page, I have to scroll through all of them just to get to one. What was the problem with giving it one tap like in the old version? I had trusted the Puffin development team to bring the best web browsers. It seems that trust was unfounded.
