### *---- "Bad misleading journalism…."
Probably the worst, bias fake journalism in SA….
-- Stay SA forever, 2021-08-15

### *---- "The browser is better"
I have been prompted to download this app for a while. I prefer my phone browser over apps as I’m able to control the view, content and block ads. This app one can’t set preferred font size manage page zoom or control ads and all that.
