First of all thanks for this great browser, I have used it since the first week of its release, I have been waiting for a long time for a good privacy friendly alternative to chrome on android.

First I must say, the speed difference I experience with Iron VS chrome is big, IRON is much more fast on my device Huawei Ascend Mate 7.
much smother animation when switching tabs and faster scrolling you did a good job on this one this browser did prolong the lifespan of my decide and the browsing speed did not get on my nerves as it did with chrome

This new version 5.1 yet further improve the speed. The only two problems I have encounter with this new version is that flash videos
or videos on all sites does not work in the browser. For instance pornhub.com does not work.

Another problem and bug that still does exist also relating to video is that screen does not stay active it goes to sleep if you do not touch it.

Besides these two problem everything seem to work flawlessly

Another problem I have noticed is that Comodo Ad blocker does not seem to work with Iron, it did on prevoius version it also work on all other browsers, since it is not a plugin, it creates a locoal VPN tunnel which have the ad blocker filter installed. it works on chrome 51 but not Iron 51
ads shows up on iron but not chrome that is strange.

Hi,

Does anybody know how can I get rid of the recurring "sign-in request" notifications (for every google account registered in the phone) every time I open Iron?

Thanks!

When I updated from 49 to 51 via the play store I lost the ability to watch streaming video and .gif in browser.

Is there a setting I need to re-enable? is that normal? DOes anyone have the version 49 .APK file?

I noticed that backspace key does not work in text fields (Eg. this forum post) on my Samsung S4. Am I doing something wrong? I can highlight whole words and delete them with the backspace key, but not individual letters.

Hello. Can you please make an option to disable webrtc and enable privacy protection (as you made for PC version)?
Also I want to ask you how can I enable sync without google servers? Is that possible? Something like local sync via home network with PC.
