First Impression Series, Part 4: Presearch's Secret Browser Project
If BRAVE is working on its search engine, could it be possible that PRESEARCH is doing the same thing in reverse? Is PRESEARCH secretly developing its own browser?
This tickled my curiosity and I typed into my search engine (PRESEARCH of course!) the key words, "PRESEARCH Browser" which displayed this:
My Search with Presearch
At first glance, I didn't find anything useful for my blog. The only search result that is relevant to the browser search is the PRESEARCH browser extension. But I persisted. I clicked every search result and that's when I got lucky. The link on PRESEARCH App directed me to the Google Playstore and this one gave me what I was looking for.
PRESEARCH Browser App
Google Playstore classifies this as mobile app or even tools. I have my suspicion already that this was more than an app.
What App has a single purpose of returning search results? A browser, right?
After installation, I wasted no time in using it. The first use directed me to a quick tour which further confirmed my guess. I was 100% correct.
The quick tour was lightning fast and covered only the basic features such as Tab System and Voice Search.

Account Creation To use PRESEARCH as search engine, it is not necessary to create a PRESEARCH account.
But why would you not want to earn extra money for doing the things that you do for free with other search engines?
To earn PRE coins, which is the reward for every PRESEARCH search, you have to create an account. Creating an account is very simple; just enter your email, password and confirm your password. Don't forget that pesky CAPTCHA to prove you are not a bot!

Browser Features
I tested this browser to check if it can handle the typical needs of internet users such as:
Browser Games - I like it that I can play chess and other browser games. I tested it at Chess.com and https://html5games.com/.
Video and Video Streaming - Watching videos and streaming work fine. I tested it at Youtube.com and Theta.tv.
Podcast - You can also listen to your favorite podcast using this browser. I tested it at www.iheart.com.
Social Media - Instant Messaging also works in Facebook.com and Twitter.com
Trading and Interactive Charts - You can also trade and play with interactive charts using this browser. I tested it at Stormgain.com and Rpubs.com/mscryptoph.
Online Banking - It works fine with my BDO.com online banking account. I was able to log-in and check my balance.
My Honest Verdict
Simplicity seems to be the virtue of the PRESEARCH Browser. It addresses the basic needs of an average internet user like those I have mentioned earlier. It only requires 26MB and Android 4.1 which make it accessible to low end mobile gadgets. The average rating in Google Playstore is 4-Stars which is high but with over 100,000 only, the reach of this browser is not yet significant to compete with more established browser in the market out there. The last time this browser was updated was in June, 2020.
It can play a role in certain market niche, especially the market of crypto enthusiasts and those who are tired of Google's extractive and predatory corporate practices of mining everyone's data. But this market is slowly shrinking with other competitors out there. If PRESEACH's browser is to be a credible competitor of other browsers, new features must be added that strengthens its brand, brand loyalty and its competitive advantage.
