All the features of the Made-In-India browser JioPages; Available only for Android

Reliance Jio has launched its own web browser based on the Chromium Blink engine called JioPages. According to the company, it provides enhanced browsing experience through faster engine migration, best-in-class webpage rendering, faster page loads, efficient media streaming, Emoji domain support and encrypted connection. Conceptualised and designed entirely in India, JioPages has much more to offer beyond conventional browsing experience.

The company states that web security is the most important subject of discussion and practice currently. There couldn’t have been a more opportune time to launch a made-in-India browser that focusses on data-privacy and gives users full control of their information. While keeping privacy at the core of the browser, JioPages provides superior performance when compared to its peers. Here’s a look at the key features that set the browser apart from its competitors:

1. Personalised Home Screen

Users have the option of setting any of the leading search engines in the market such as Google, Bing, MSN, Yahoo or Duck Duck Go, as their default search engine. They could also pin the links of their favourite websites on the home screen for quick and easy access.

2. Personalized theme

Users could choose from a variety of colourful background themes that could add zest to the browsing experience. They could also switch to ‘Dark mode’ for an eye-friendly viewing experience at night.

3. Personalised Content

The content feed is customised to suit the user’s preference in terms of language, topic and region. In addition to this, JioPages sends notifications only on topics that are either important or of interest to the user.

4. Informative Cards

An Informative Card captures key numbers, trends, symbols or headlines of a given topic, e.g. stock market trends, commodity prices or cricket score, and displays them as compact clickable banners on the screen.

5. Regional Content

The browser supports eight Indian languages: Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Gujarati, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Bengali. Users also have the option of customising the content feed according to their preferred state. Upon selecting a state, the popular sites of the state start appearing on the screen.

6. Advanced Download Manager

The browser automatically categorises downloads according to the file type, i.e. Image, Video, Document or Pages. This makes file management easier for the user.

7. Secured Incognito Mode

The Incognito mode enables private browsing by preventing browsing history from being stored in the system. On JioPages, the user has the option of setting a four-digit security PIN or fingerprint as an access code to the Incognito mode.

8. Ad Blocker

The browser blocks unsolicited ads and popups to provide the user with a seamless browsing experience.

Further, JioPages browser is currently available only for Android smartphones. Also, it will come with a personalised home screen which will allow users to select any desired search engine from Google, Bing, MSN, Yahoo or Duck Duck Go as their default search engine. They can also "pin" any website on the home screen to get quick access.
