When it comes to browsers for Android, it seems we consistently get two main options: lightweight, low-featured implementations for quick browsing and more robust offerings full of tricks but coming with some added bulk. But striking a line between the two is xScope Pro, a browser that aims to “redefine” surfing the web on a mobile device. xScope manages to feel quick and light despite a range of enhanced features from a wide range of input gestures to more experimental elements like a “Darken” mode designed to save battery by converting bright whites to cooler blacks, theoretically reducing the power drain of your phone’s display.
But the main draw is gestures, many of which make browsing using only one hand a total breeze in xScope. The most-touted gesture is a new method of zoom called pin-to-zoom. Double tap your thumb or finger anywhere on the page and, without lifting it, drag up or down to zoom in and out. Double-tap and swipe left to right to switch tabs. There are some limitations in this, as you can’t manipulate the focus of your zoom as you go and, if you are viewing a particularly crowded page, hitting a link can sometimes interrupt the gesture.
But the pin functions aren’t the only finger gestures supported. Swiping left to right without double-tapping seamlessly navigates forward and backward through a tab’s history, pulling down on a tab with two fingers will close it, and you get a standard double-tap zoom and pinch-to-zoom. The pinch-to-zoom isn’t great here, mostly because it can get confused for the two-finger tab close in some instances, especially when closing a tab was the last thing you wanted to do. Luckily gesture input is customizable, so you can eliminate certain functions if you want.
And if you do decide to do away with a few gestures, xScope still offers plenty. Ad blocking, Flash support, the aforementioned “Darken” mode, incognito mode, and a built-in file browser. You don’t get that in any old Android browser.
Is xScope perfect? Hardly, and its fair to say it lacks a degree of polish found in some other browser, but it’s headed in the right direction. At this point, I wouldn’t turn to xScope as my main browser (but I am a bit of a minimalist in the sense). For those looking for the perfect marriage between speed and slickness and plenty of features and a good degree of customizability, then xScope is definitely worth checking out at only $2.99 in the Google Play Store.
Thanks everyone for entering to win a Nexus 7, we have selected a winner and entries are now closed.
What’s that? You need a nice new Android tablet to get the full xScope experience? One of you is going to get one. The maker of the app, Gary Sui, is giving away a Nexus 7 to one lucky reader to comment on this review. Only your first reply counts. After 24 hours, the winner will be selected randomly. At that point we will get you in touch with Gary to claim your prize. Pretty simple, right? So go ahead and leave your comment then head over to Google Play to check out xScope for yourself.

Pick me, pick me!
sweet!!
Love xscope!
Having a good browser which can accept add ons/extensions would be a major step forward for Android.
it’s always nice to see improvement in browser usability. gestures helps improve the browsing experience.
Paying for a browser is a tough sell, but the Darkened option for pages sounds awesome.
Seems like an interesting browser. I like the idea of a darkening mode.
I use Xscope for my browser on my Galaxy Nexus off and on and i have to say it works well. I Could use a Nexus 7 though.. =)
xScope is actually quite nice, though I will wait as well before it becomes my browser of choice. Stock browser for now works best for me.
I’ve used this browser forever and love it
Any Android browser is going to have to compete against Chrome – which is a tall order when you consider the desktop integration / sync features.
I like chrome and all but until websites quit using flash on websites I need a browser that supports flash. I am glad Xscope supports flash and the darken mode is great at night. Easy on the eyes.
I’m all for choices, especially in browsers, however, with all the very good free browsers available, I would hesitate to pay $2.99 for the xScope browser. It doesn’t seem to have a “lite” version (I may be wrong about this), so I couldn’t even try it out if I wanted to do a test drive. It may be a great browser, but I would rather have the built-in one or Chrome as my browser of choice on my Galaxy S3.
I feel so honored.to comment here All of my hardwork and dedication has paid off. Getting the top comment has
been a dream of mine for many years, and I would like to thank those who have
helped me along the way. First and foremost I would like to thank God for
giving me this opportunity. Next I would like to thank my parents. I want to
thank my dog maggie, for being really fat and always there for me. Next I would
like to thank the squirrel that lives in my backyard for climbing trees because
that gives me inspiration that I need to get through the day. This is a special
moment in my life and I would like to thank any of my unmentioned friends and
family that have helped me along the way. This moment will be a moment that I
will never forget. I just remembered a few other people I would like to thank;
facebook, the fish I caught in the third grade, my light in my room because I
wouldn’t be able to see the keyboard without it, the internet for letting me go
on facebook, my house because without it I would be homeless, and last but not
least I would like to thank all the people out there that actually took time
out of their day to read this. I cannot stress how much of a big deal to me
this is. I have been trying to be the first comment on a post for years, but
that has not been possible until this amazing day. Hopefully my good luck will
continue, but this is undoubtedly a rare occasion. If you asked me how I did
this, I would say, you can achieve anything that you set your mind on. To all
the kids out there reading this, I would like to tell them to follow their
dreams. Being the top comment is amazing, thank you everyone!
Um, I think you copied this comment from someone else on GSMArena, or maybe you are the same person who made the comment here as well. Either way, not cool!
Down voted for mentioning a fictional being.
You should be disqualified for this POS post.
I was actually just looking into ditching Dolphin as my second browser due to all the extra features I don’t need, this seem worth a look, and I am sure it would look even better on a Nexus 7
Have not used this browser previously, look forward to trying it out.
I would love to try Xscope on a new tablet
I appreciate this review, its definitely helpful. I would really like to win that nexus 7 too!
I will give it a try. Another browser I recommend is OverSkreen for tablets. Also hope I get picked for the tablet win. Ordered online then decided to go pick one up from Gamestop and got a speeding ticket instead. The speeding ticket doesn’t have as many apps as the Nexus 7 but I am trying to have as much fun with it as I can, since it was $320.
i want a nexus 7
Darken mode.. hmm.. that’s actually an interesting feature. I use a program called FLUX on my laptops to adjust the white balance to more sepia as dusk hits so that I’m not staring at a blue white screen. Similarly I switch my ereaders to sepia to just for the ease on the eyes.
Great feature idea
This browser is awesome, love the toggles and blacked out theme
I used this browser in the past, I may have to reinstall…or just install it on the Nexus 7 that will be sent to me. Does it come preinstalled for the Nexus 7 winner?
any chance for a nexus 7 is a good chance :)
Sounds like it’s worth a test drive. A nice new set of wheels would certainly make for a nice ride.
xScope was a great browser replacement on my Droid 1 back in the Android 2.2 days. I’d love to give it a shot on a new Nexus 7.
i’m always up for testing new browsers. especially as a web developer.
Woo hoo!!! n7 for me pleaseeeeeeee
Nice
Great browser and awesome review as allways
Darken mode? AWESOME! I’m always looking for apps that have that feature! The ones that don’t? Well, they bother me… I’m looking at you, Facebook and Twitter official apps…
Awesome
I’ll take that Nexus 7 please.
I love Mass Effect and I love Android; seeing as how the N7 mixes the two together (at least in name) I think it makes sense to hook me up with one ;]
I am constantly switching between Chrome, Dolphin, Firefox. Hopefully this one will make me stick to one. Great review.
I have tried x Scope in the past and it looks like I’m going to have to give it another shot
Might be worth a try, though I do love Dolphin. Nice place to try it would be, say…a Nexus 7? :)
A major item I would love to see is to be able to sync with my bookmarks from my Google Account. I have no idea if that is possible or not. Otherwise, it looks good.
I’ve used Xscope in the past, I’ll have to give it another try.
Most intriguing
I already own one but you can never have too many.
I love all the innovations in the browser market….it is getting crazy both on computers and of course on our mobile devices!
Do we get a consolation prize? Like, xScope given away for free for anyone who commented? :D
After recently losing my job and getting a new one money is tight. Can I Pleasssse have a Nexus 7? Stock browser works best for me followed by dolphin mini.
Looking forward to this one!
I love my Nexus 7.
this browser looks promising i think i give it a try
I Like the attempt to balance both features and size. My aging mytouch 3g slide is incompatible, but I sure would be down for trying this out once I upgrade devices. In all honesty I wish more developers tried to get both sides of the coin in, especially with more and more phones without expandable memory.
I tried xscope a while back…may need to revisit it.
Awesome apps and free stuff, always a good combination!
Darken mode and incognito – my two favorite features.
Looks very nice. I’ve been wanting to play with the Nexus 7.
I will have to check this app out, sounds useful…
Please, please, please pick me! I am in love with the Nexus 7!!!!!!
I’ve had it since when it was the FAOD on amazon, and liked it enough to buy it on the play store a month or so later. I have to say though since adopting chrome I haven’t fired it up on any of my devices… that being said still worth the 3 bucks way back when
looks cool, i’m gonna check it out.
i’ve been seriously considering buying a Nexus 7 because my little sister wants an iPad -,-
This browser is nice but it lags like most browsers other than stock
I’ll definitely try this browser. I’ve been using Chrome for a while, and I do like it, there are definite bugs within it to make me greatly annoyed with it as well.
I always have one or two browsers available (I’m a web developer) so another in the toolbox is nice.
Like Draxlith, I too, am looking to ditch Dolphin because of its bloated nature. Sometimes nimble is the way to go. I’ll certainly look into this browser. Thanks for the review, as I had never heard of it.
Looks like it has some great features, hope to try soon.
looks interesting, will be happy to try it on the nexus 7 xD
Would prefer to try out xScope on the Nexus 7.
My wife has been enjoying my Nexus 7 a little too much – she needs one of her own :)
AWESOME Browser! Hoper i’ll use on a nexus 7 ! PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Big fan of xScope. Been using it ever since I got my Nexus One. Since then, I used it on a T-Mobile myTouch 4G, Asus OG Transformer, Galaxy Nexus (Verizon), and Asus Infinity Pad. Love it!
i want a n7 with xscope
A very interesting review, if wanting of detail.
think i had an xscope for my sega……o_O
I like the one handed gestures. The pin (double-tap) pre-gesture was a great idea. I really think that Dolphin has a good bookmarks function because it allows quick one handed access to your bookmarks. I hope that xScope keeps evolving. Love it!
I will use XScope as my default browser on my phone and (then) my Nexus 7 if I win it!
I’ll have to check this out, looks good!
Sold my playbook. Would love to test out this browser on an N7
Sounds like a good browser, wonder how it stacks up with chrome though. P. S. Nexus 7 rocks and i want one :)
I’ll gladly make xScope pro my go to browser if given a shiny new Nexus 7!! I’m typically also somewhat minimal when it comes to browsers on my phone as I usually stick to stock.
Great Review, please enter me in for the Nexus 7 drawing.
I’d love to see what that browser can really do on an awesome tablet like that!!
Looks great, would love to try it out on a nexus!
xScope was one of my favorite browsers back when I had a G1. The stock browser was very sluggish. When I first found xScope people I knew compared it to Chrome (for Windows). It had a very simplistic UI despite the fact that the browser had a lot of features. I’m glad to see it back in the spotlight. I’m going to give it a try on my MT4G and see if it can replace Chrome (which is very buggy on the JB ROM I’m on). If it’s as good as it used to be, the “Darken” mode is a seller. If nothing else, it makes some pages look better overall (look at CNN up there lol).
looks good – might be the first browser to get me to switch from chrome…
Could be interesting to check out.
I’d rather enjoy winning a Nexus 7.
Judging from the review, xScope seems to be on the right path. I may have to give it a shot over my current broswer, Dolphin. If it can hold up both the features and minimal nature then hello XScope.
Nexus 7? More like Nexus 8 or sumthin tss tss tss
xScope on Nexus 7 will be nice
Start school on Monday and would love to take a shiny new Nexus 7 with me :)
Love xScope on my phone.I’ll need to try it on a tablet…
Looks like a nice little browser! Now give me a Nexus 7! :)
Can’t wait to try it on my new Nexus 7 right?
Sounds like a lot of awesome features!
Darkened feature is something certainly worth noting. Spending money on a browser isn’t typically something you imagine doing, but when you think about how much time you are using the browser, you quickly realize that it’s worth the cash.
I’m liking that darkened mode which I think would look amazing on my galaxy s 3
looks pretty sweet
Pick me! :D
Nexus 7!
Awesome!
I have been wanting a Nexus 7, but cash has been pretty tight as of late. I would be more than happy to buy the app as well. Just gotta wait until Play gift cards are released! :)
Would love a Nexus 7 with xScope. Big fan of gestures!
xScope is the best!
Welp, nothing like a good hook to get the comments going.
Oh yes please! I have been wanting one of these for work! I take a lot of notes in meetings and this + swype is a match made in heaven.
Looks pretty good! I’m getting bored of Chrome crashing for no reason…
Looks interesting. Too bad my Xoom died a few weeks ago. I’ll have to check it out on my phone. Forward / Back gestures should help the mobile experience a lot!
Will give this one a try. Dolphin was kinda disappointing, even if they claimed it’s the fastest. Hoping the xScope will have me convinced.
Whats that a nexus 7 give a way? ill take one please
I’m definitely giving xScope a try, looks like it has some great features!
I want the nexus seven in order to finish my graphics novel.
Nice shot for a browser,just like Nexus 7 is a good shot at tablets.
Looks kewl
hello! pick me please!
I’ve used xscope in the past before but may go back just to try the darkened mode. A prolonged battery life is a must!
pick me please, it will be my first nexus device if i win
Here’s my comment. Now where’s my Nexus?
Browsers are fun, Nexii 7 are funner.
I agree, I need that Nexus 7 to really test this out
Was ready to purchase, but then remembered, I’ve already bought xScope before! It’s been a while, but it looks like some much need interface improvements have been made, and now that I’m on a screaming fast phone compared to others in the past, let’s see what kind of speed improvements have been made too!
xScope isn’t my main browser, but it’s a solid backup for me.
If I win the Nexus 7 I promise I’ll buy xscope!
Tab me, I really like the darken.
Would love to see a performance comparison between Chrome, Dolphin, and xScope
Im going to give this one a try…haven’t up till now, but it looks like it’s heading in the right direction, and it’s reasonably priced…plus a chance to win a Nexus 7? Icing, baby!
This is a good browser, I’m suprised I don’t see it listed more often when people talk about best/favorite apps.
I’ve had the app itself for a few days now. I was hesitant to try it out because my stock browser on JB and Dolphin Browser provide everything I need, but I was incredibly surprised by it.
It is SMOOTH, and the darken feature is just… heavenly for people like me who like to read at night without disturbing the lady next to me :P
Good app – Definitely keeping it.
This seems like a nice browser, I am going to give it a shot soon. The toggles seem like a cool idea. Would love for the chance to try this on an N7.
Supports Flash! Now all I need is LastPass integration somehow and Dolphin will be uninstalled!
Chrome killer? Does it fair well on older phones stuck on Gingerbread? Anyone know?
I’m your huckleberry
I love the gestures feature, makes it so easy to navigate
I like that it is blackened, but also like my browser that is synced across all devices.
Xscope is cool and with a nexus tablet it would be cooler.
Nexus 7: a fine way to experience the new xScope.
I there a feature matrix somewhere?
Actually, it seems rather interesting. I’ll check it out later, probably after a couple of updates.
Ive had xscope for a while but never really given it a shot. I’ll have to try it out.
“If I win the Nexus 7 I promise I’ll buy xscope!”
This.^
This looks interesting, and I think I’ll have to give it a shot.
I’d certainly use this. In my heavy raider.
Can’t wait to try it! Been looking for a new browser for a while now. I like chrome and dolphin, but they seem kind of sluggish still. Love gestures too, sounds great!
I used xScope awhile ago, and I liked it alot (but it had a few issues at the time).. still, I wouldn’t have even known about the ‘Dark Mode’ if I’d not read it here :) Good review, THANKS!
will have to check it out
I promise to gift xScope 7 times, to 7 different friends, on my N7 (if I win).
I like xscope
Nice review. Prolly gonna try this out. Oh, and I’m sorry to all the other commenters. I’m pretty sure I’m going to win. I’m lucky like that.
I used xScope a long time ago. A new Nexus 7 would be a great reason to bring it out of retirement! Thanks for a chance to win one!
Gonna be honest, I love gestures.
Awesome!
I would love to win!
Interesting features. Time to give a test run.
Sweet!
Going to try out this browser when i get home. Seems like it has everything i need. And thanks for the chance at the Nexus 7
If I win, I promise to use the Nexus 7 tablet like a very humble dude. Thanks for a chance at one.
Me want!
love xscope!!!!
xScope would replace Chrome if I won the Nexus 7
Need a nexus 7 for school but haven’t been able to buy one because of rent!
Random comment to be random winner.
Awesome. Can’t wait to try out xscope on the new tablet I’m going to win! :)
Great app, simple as that!
This browser looks like it could be good. I’ve been looking for a solid browser to use. All the ones I’ve used just don’t seem to cut it.
hope i win
Doubt I’ll ever replace my chrome browser so to be honest I am just replying in hopes of winning the tablet.
I really like the concept of the Darken mode, that is definitely a great idea. I’d love to take it for a spin in style on a new tablet. :)
I’m always looking for alternatives to the current browser selection. Hope this one fills the spot. Looks good so far! Would be great to have it on a new Nexus 7 as well!!
Just hoping to win a Nexus 7!
A Nexus 7 just in time for school!
Sounds like the perfect browser for my Galaxy Nexus LTE. My current browser drains my battery within 3 hrs and the gestures functions would definitely come in handy!
The android browser market is crowded, but it sounds like xScope is beginning to stand out in the crowd. I’ll have to give it a try.
Great browser and great tablet. Now I just need both.
I’ve never heard of xScope but that’s what wonderful sites like this are for right? Giving exposure :)
Nexus 7 looks awesome! So does this browser!
Dolphin HD has been my go to browser for ages, but xScope could very well be it’s replacement.
Going to download this for my Gnex and play around with the gesture settings. the review pointed out some things that can be confused hopefully I can remedy that by changing the type of gesture needed. Been looking to replace chrome, it’s been getting me angry.
This looks like it could replace my chrome browser. I prefer to use my phone with one hand, whether it is texting or surfing, and the zoom and pan features are definitely something i will try out. Anything to make surfing a little easier. Thanks.
cool i want
wow awesome, Ill give xScope a try, in the meantime, i hope i win!
That darken feature is a big draw for me. Will definitely try it out.
I think i will stay with dolphin.
what makes this browser better then Chrome or Firefox? I use Chrome for my daily use and Firefox(side loaded with flash) for my flash websites. Can this browser replace both of them?
I have been using xscope for the darkened view and because it supports flash. It runs very well for me and I’ve also recommended it to any friends who have purchased a Nexus 7. Seems to be a great dev, plus who could turn down a chance to win a free Nexus 7. Thank you!
pick me so that i can try xscope in new nexus 7
It’s been such a long time since I’ve used xscope, I’m glad to see they’re still developing their browser.
nice..
nexus baby all the way
Sounds like an interesting browser, definitely give it a shot if I win the tablet :p
“Darken” might be the trick that gets me to check it out. I lot of times a browser is like a pen. I don’t want to have to thinking about my pen. I just want it to help me do what I need to do. Making a convincing argument that your “pen” can help you do more/better will get me to give it a shot.
I love the battery saving darken feature. Pretty smart and the reason I’m going to be checking this browser out in more detail.
Look at all the comments!
I love seeing this type of response from the Android community.
Its been a great ride since the G1, and I see this platform maturing more and more each day :)
I hope whoever get this Tablet really enjoys it! Good luck guys.
I will try it.Please give me a nexus.
Will have to give it a try!
Browser looks impressive, I gotta take a closer look and try it.
I’ll buy his app if I win the Nexus 7. =)
This browser looks very solid, definitely will give it a shot.
I used to use xScope quite a bit. Looks like I’ll have to give it another shot.
currently using chrome, but the fact that it has issues with Flash, i will consider making the switch. looks nice!
Wanting to win a nexus 7!
cool browser…wish i could have this tablet,my galaxy S broke last week..missing an android device…
I think I’ll give this a try. Looks nice.
Used this browser for a long time and liked how it was pretty fast and not bloated. Excellent prize btw
This looks like an amazing browser, it would be even more amazing on a brand new Google Nexus 7, I would show all my friends this browser, I will even if I dont win!
Wouldn’t mind getting a free nexus 7
Nice contest. Pick me =)
Having the gestures will be sweat. I hope it works better than the chrome browser. It is laggy, especially on tablets (in my experience)
New apps are always a win
If I win I will swear all my internet bandwidth by this browser
I’ve tried xScope way before, but went with Dolphin Mini instead bc it’s lightweight and simple. I’m gonna try xScope again bc of that Darken mode. Why most sites still use white background instead of black or something dark?
I would love to get my hands on a Nexus 7, and xScope would be one of the first apps i load.
I’ve been using this browser on my gnex since I flashed JB. glad to see they’re giving away an N7 as an added bonus for those who use it already!
I’ll buy the app if I win the Nexus 7.
xScope rocks!
Am I the only one that has known about X Scope for awhile? I remember it being around when I was still using my Hero on sprint…guess I’m giving it another spin.
I use this browser and it’s pretty handy. I would love to see it in action on a new Nexus 7 :)
I’m in. And although I can’t promise I’ll try xScope, I’ll try to remember to try it. That’s the best I’ve got.
Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention. I’ve just been
handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you, to stop
what you’re doing and listen.
Cannonball!
Will the real slim shady please sit down
Why don’t you go back to your home on WHORE ISLAND!
very cool !!! ill give it a try..
xScope looks like a worthy browser to try. If it can handle flash and performs well on a tablet, I think it is going to be a winner!
I like the idea of this browser. Though, for the price, Chrome and Dolphin are just as good, but free. ;) I do like the idea of the blackened screen, the gestures, and of course the speed. I have to say, my favorite aspect is one of the gestures: the two-finger-swipe-down to close a tab. That is just great.
My only issue is the price. It is a little steep for a browser when most of the primaries are free. Perhaps a trial version to check it out and I would have done so.
Thanks Phandroid.
Pin-to-zoom is pretty cool, and I always appreciate an incognito mode to keep my more…dubious…browsing secret. Ahem.
XScope has been a lifesaver on my friends nexus 7. Now if only I could also have a nexus 7…
if i win, i promise the first app i buy with the $25 credit to the PlayStore will be the xscope app.
no credit? very well then. i’ll earn that app some other way.
So many different browsers out there now…I’ll give xScope a try but I’m already having trouble deciding between the new Dolphin HD beta and Chrome. They’re all great so its a nice problem to have.
xScope was my default on the DX. The pin-to-zoom is genius.
If only it could sync with my chrome autofill history…
i like the ad blocking, might be more worthy than the sync feature in chrome
I have been using Skyfire for 2 yrs. Time to switch.
Sounds like a good browser. I will have to remember to check it out.
I used to use xScope exclusively, I’ll have to give it another shot. Haven’t used a Nexus 7 yet, sounds great!
Pretty neat. Will have to check it out. Would love to use it on a Nexus 7!
please
I don’t mind sacrificing some speed as long as it works.
Going to try it tonight.
Oh well I worth giving a try!
Been using this browser for years, it was the first to implement tabs in a user friendly way. Being able to swipe to change tabs is awesome and love the long-press(click) to open link in a new background tab automatically. Oh and the single finger pinch zoom is great too!
I love the nexus 7 and i finally got to put my hands on it this week end and it felt like i was touching the hand of god. Grant me my wish of the nexus 7 Please or ill Punt a kitten 50 Yards.
I need this nexus…I’m using it to conduct surgery on my iPad.
I used xscope to replace dolphin, now it looks even better and if i get a nexus 7 i cant complain about that
Thanks for the Nexus 7! xScope FTW!
Another nexus 7 would be nice
Worth a try, the stock browser isn’t very good.
xScore seems pretty good. I’ll give it a try.
winnah winnah chicken dinnah?
It’s because of good applications like this that I spend way too much time on the internet, despite not being at my computer. I like it, well done.
I would love a Nexus 7
Definitely gonna try it out. I hope I win the Nexus 7!
I’m so in!!
That would be awesome
LOVE XSCOPE! Been using it for months
Looks cool, will give this a try.
Downloading now.
Good review, makes me want to check out xScope and see how it compares to the other browsers.
I am surprised I have never heard of this browser before today. Hopefully it will take off and be something bigger than what we currently have. Downloading it now…
Ohh, count me in. Looks like an interesting browser with a lot of potential. And we already know how great the Nexus 7 is.
I’ve been using this browser for quite a while now and really enjoy it as alternate to the standard browser
I hope it’s more stable than Google Chrome on my SGS2.
One handed (thumb) browsing sounds very appealing!
Awesome my favorite browser
Cool! I’ll give it a try if I manage to get a Google gift card.
I bought xScope back when I had an Eris. It was a nice lightweight browser then, but it has definitely evolved into something much greater now. I am not a huge fan, however, of the settings menu. It lacks the UI polish seen elsewhere.
Cool. I’ll have to see about trying this browser.
A new tablet for new school year. Oh happy day!
I have long purchased this browser and am not regretting it.
I’ve been using xscope pro since my og Droid days. This was the best browser out at the time that no one knew about. It’s great to see the dev continuing to update at make it better. Pin to zoom is terrific.
Excited about trying the “darken” mode to conserve battery power… a feature I’ve often wondered why hadn’t been implemented in other browsers.
First time I ever heard talking of this browser. I’m currently using chrome, but I’m definitely gonna try it. After all, no browser’s perfect, and that includes chrome!
Interesting, I tried this browser a while back when it wasn’t as slick, looks decent.
Alternative browsers FTW! I don’t know why anybody stays on stock these days…
I will buy this app if I win the Nexus. Promise.
Me me memememememememe
Need to give this browser a try. Looks clean & minimal – so nice.
I’d love to win a Nexus 7! I promise to buy the app if I do!
I actually got this browser for free in the Amazon App Store free app of the day a while back. It has improved a lot since then. I like it, but with Chrome Sync it’s hard to get me away from it. I keep my bookmarks updated through Google Bookmarks and through Google Chrome so if a browser can sync to Google Bookmarks it has a chance of pulling me away from Chrome.
Sounds pretty cool, I will check it out.
I’m in. you can send the Nexus whenever you get a chance ;)
I have been using xScope for years.. It has always had a small footprint and very fast. It has followed me from my Droid Iris to today’s Rezound. Great Browser!!!
Sounds like a pretty good browser, have to give it a try
oooh ill try this on my galnex and transformer prime
Excellent way to raise the profile of an app
Can I haz Nexus 7 plz?
I remember when the developer started out here on the Android forums. He built his browser on user feedback, thats the sign of a good dev!
Downloading now, alot of features I can’t wait to try out!
I’ll give it a try later… It seems pretty nice…
And hopefully the Nexus 7 will be mine…
Mine… ALL MINE!!! My precious!!! :P
Looks to be a great solution for the Nexus 7 lack of flash support, among other things!
i need a nexus 7
Thank you guys!
I would like to try the app on a brand new Nexus 7!
Man I could really use a brand new Nexus 7…What’s that you say? You’re giving one away! Well hope today is my lucky day!
I like the browser, cool!
I need a nexus 7 to test it out!
Nexus 7 yeahhhhhh!!
Great app, it’s definitely in my top 10
Nexus 7 would be pretty sweet
Randomly pic me please!!!
Looks good, I’m wondering how it will compare to Dolphin and Chrome. I normally don’t buy apps and since there are so many other good browsers for free I may wait until it is a bit more polished.
I say middle of the road is good, not to heavy, not to lightweight…. however i also say only my comment should count. pick me, pick me!! if for nothing else, my username should get it for me! lol
nexus 7 yeahhh!!!!!
If I had a Nexus 7, I’d use nothing but xScope Pro!
The darken mode alone makes it worth the price, I will make due with a slight lack of polish in order to preserve my battery life. Works wells so far, thanks to Gary for providing such an option for heavy browsers!
I use xscope pro exclusively. Love it. My favorite is the swipe forward/back navigation from the sides.
looks cool. would love a nexus 7 too
I could use a Nexus 7!! Thanks for the giveaway
Come on, needing a Nexus 7 here!
Browser looks cool. Nexus 7 would look nice next to my galaxy nexus.
How does it compare speed wise to Chrome and Dolphin? Anyway, I’d love to try it out on a new Nexus 7!
I will definitely be giving this browser a try.
Nexus me. Is that legal in the lower 48?
Always interested in new browsers – I’ll give it a shot!
gimmee gimme!
Why no free version?
I’d love to try this out on a brand new Nexus 7.
Can’t wait to try it on my new Nexus 7!
Hopefully I win! I will be buying one before November if I don’t get lucky. Meanwhile I will give it a try on my Galaxy Nexus, see how it compares with chrome :D
I want me a N7!
worthless comment :)
I’m all over it if it lets me browse full screen…Chrome and FF on my tablet leave the address bar at the top, taking away valuable screen real estate.
I want a tablet! Xscope rocks!
Looks great! Downloading now. Love the darkened idea, it’s a wonder why google hasn’t forged ahead to invert apps, at least give us the choice.
Tex-Mex farts? Fo rizzle.
I’m going to be totally honest.
this is my first ever post on this website and I freakkkin want that nexus 7 ~_~
I like fruits, vegetables, ramen noodles, coke, chicken, pigs, cows, milk, sauna. jus sayiin
I like the idea of new approaches to UI navigation.
Can’t wait to try it on the N7
Pick me!! I really need a tablet, just can’t afford one :-(
Me please :)
Wow I remember this app from way back on my G1, glad to see it still getting updated. How does the speed of this browser compare to Chrome’s? Already have a Nexus 7 but I’d love to get one for my ailing grandmother.
Yes, yes. I definitely need a nice new Android tablet to get the full xScope experience. ;)
Looks pretty good, and I’d love a Nexus 7 :)
The browser is legit as well to say the least
I always am looking for a better browser… I will have to try this one out! Also, thanks for the opportunity to win a Nexus 7!
I hope I win one of these contest someday!! If I win… I promise to buy the browser!!
I wouldn’t mind trying out xScope, I would need a Nexus 7 but thats a mere formality I’m sure.
I’ve used the browser before and thought it was a nice and smooth browser. Currently I am using Chrome as my main due to the fact that I can sync it with my desktop. Otherwise, I still have xscope as another option to use at times.
a nexus 7, you say? yes, please.
I hope I win, ya I might buy one next week but saving that cash would be better and to use that free $25 from Google Play to buy the app for my phone, Transformer Prime, and hopefully (a free) Nexus 7.. PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!
uuu a Nexus 7, the Dev rocks
Looks interesting. Might give it a try.
I’d like a Nexus 7.
Amazon had xscope as it’s free app of the day quite awhile back and I snagged it then. Pretty impressed with it’s speed at the time, haven’t really used it much since.
The wife thinks I spend to much time on my phone, so she won’t let me spend any money on a tablet or any electronic whatsoever…but she didn’t say I cant have one if its free of purchase.
not bad, but google changed the browser game with Chrome for Android. But willing to play with xScope on teh new Nexus 7 i am about to win.
very nice browser. I downloaded the pre ICS version and was surprised. I may replace dolphin with it. we’ll see
xScope rocks! Randomly land here, please. :)
I’ve been waiting for a lowprice Android tablet, and this could be it!
Xscope is so great! it saved my marriage and reinvigorated my sex life! I feel confident and bold ever since I downloaded and installed Xscope!!! No need to take crap from stock, maxthon, firefox, chrome, skyfire, dolphin browsers any longer! With Xscope you can surf the entire internet within ONE HOUR!!!!* Don’t hassle any longer with the fake clone wannabe intimidation Xscope browsers ! GET THE REAL THING TODAY!!!!!!!
****warning**** *Xscope is so awesome you might die from epileptic shock *** make sure you visit your doctor to make sure your healthy enough to experiment with Xscope**
If you experience extreme lethargy, or an erection lasting longer than 10 minutes, please visit your local emergency room.
I would love to win this!!!!!
I surely can use a nexus 7 :P
yay rah yay, NEXUS 7 pleaaasse
I really want to try xScope and REALLY want to win Nexus 7
Bring honor to family by winning nexus 7, yes.
Sweet, I <3 gestures. :-D
I like the idea of gestures. I use them with my desktop browser. Sounds good.
I remember when xscope was a beta back in the day. Its nice to see them grow in function and support like they have. Keep up the great work. Going to give it a try looks more promising then ever.
Thanks for the update on a great product. Good luck and congrats to the winner
I’ve tried several browsers and I’m still not comfortable with any… Maybe I’ll give it a go.
Nexus 7 please and thank you
Truthfully I just really want the Nexus 7. I hate my BB Playbook
Nice to see another alternative browser evolving. I’ve yet to find one that truly does all I want. Dolphin is close but not quite right
xScope is one of the oldest but still most reliable browsers!
I just played around with the Nexus 7 at Staples and it’s awesome! I so hope I win!
can it play hulu videos
Ooo… I want it!
Mine mine mine mine mine!
1/359 odds (currently), not too shabby.
I want nexus 7
Would love to win a Nexus 7 to try out the Xscope browser on.
Ooooh, this browser sounds awesome. Heading over to the play store to DL! #nexus7plz!
Gestures are the way to go……..now gimme my Nexus 7.
If I own the Nexus 7, I am the Nexus 7.
I would like to welcome the xScope experience on a new Nexus 7 tablet.
If I win the Nexus I will buy your app! fair trade!
looks nice but i really can’t live without quick controls on stock browser :D
I have xscope but I don’t have a nexus 7.
I would like the nexus 7
xScope and I go back like sunflower seeds and quarter waters.
Classes start Wednesday….couldn’t ask for a better way to start out the year!!
This browser has come a long way!
I love the X scope browser I got on the Amazon app store. I didn’t know there was a new version! I wanna try it on jelly bean!
I bought this years ago, then it was on Amazon’s FAotD. I stopped using it for a while in lieu of dolphin, maybe it is time to come back and check it out.
The darkening mode looks interesting. There really needs to be an F.lux equivalent on android but this might do for now.
Nexus 7! Me! Xscope! Awesome!
This looks awesome. I’m gonna download it for my RAZR Maxx
interesting little browser
This browser really is a major improvement over Android’s stock browser.
Xscope + Nexus 7 = <3
I would definitely get the xScope Browser if I got a Nexus 7.
quality browser, been using for a couple of years now,.
nice review, now send me the nexus 7, Ill buy the app with the $25 credit ill get from it :-)
Tell you what: if you give me a free tablet, I will buy your app for $2.99. It’s the least I could do.
Loved using xScope on my old phone. Best browser for older/slower phones.
Are you going to do a better job getting in touch with me when I win this than you did when I won the slacker subscription?
AWESOME! Will try it when I receive a Nexus 7!
Hmm…, maybe it’s time to give xScope a try and see what all this buzz is about….?
Looks like a great browser Gary. Combining speed and features should make for a killer app. I especially like the customisable gestures! Now if only I could take advantage of it… Nexus 7 please!
I cant wait to try xScope and REALLY want to win Nexus 7
Nice looking browser, can’t wait to try it out on the Nexus 7!
I think i might try this xscope
Just downloaded the browser and i’m pretty impressed by it. The one thing that I love the most is the pin-to-zoom. I hate having to you two hands to zoom in and zoom out with precision. Pin-to-zoom allows the same precision with only one finger. That’s is awesome. Regardless of if i get the Nexus 7, I’m glad I came across this review.
Looks good, I will have to give this a try.
Winner!!
xScope would be great on that nexus 7 ^_^
I like it, it runs better than firefox on my phone. I’d love to tested on a new nexus 7 though.
xScope looks decent, i’ll check it out. Nexus 7.
Winning!
I was never a big fan of xscope in the past. Looks like I’ll have to give it another try.
I’ll give this a try. :)
I’ll bet that xScope would work great on a Nexus 7. Now if only I had one to try it on…
Hmm, I haven’t tried this browser yet. Maybe I’ll have to give it a look.
If you give me the free tablet, that is. Hint hint.
I haven’t used xScope in a loooong time. It’s about time I go back to it.
After reviewing your app, I was impressed with how customizable it was. And the feature that stood out among the crowd was the “darken” mode. There are many browsers out there. And to my knowledge, none of them offer a tablet for commenting on how they are different from the others. Gary, I don’t really need a tablet but I am impressed that no other browser developer has thought of this. Your creativity should be imitated by other developers. THIS is why Android rocks!
I used to use xScope for a while, but have since switched to Chrome. Chrome’s connectivity, simplicity, and snappiness are just too good to pass up.
I need it for school
Sounds interesting
I’ve been using Xscope for quite awhile now on both my Evo and Transformer Prime..it works great for both devices and the gestures are greatly appreciated/ highly innovative. I’ve shown it off to my sis and she said she loved it especially the gesture controls except she has been meaning to get an e reader/ smallish tablet but i figured that the Nexus 7 was perfect for her (great processor, 7 inch hd display, jellybean as well as incredibly portable. I think she could really benefit from that device (I’m the youngest as well as the most “android savvy” in my family haha so this as a gift would win me A LOT of brownie points :))
I’m in the UK so hope I can enter too!
looks like a promising browser. If only someone would give me a nexus 7 to stream it with!
A Nexus 7 would be a daymaker. I’ve been dying to get one! Oh, and xScope would be the first app installed!
ok sounds good ill try it niw can i please win the nexus 7
It looks like a pretty strong web browser. This is a great alternative to the default browser and having the darkening mode can help out with the 4G LTE phones that are already draining too much battery.
Great review… Can’t wait to try XScope out… hope I can try it out on a new Nexus 7
Not compatible with anything below 4.0 ??? Y ?
I wouldn’t say no to a nexus, and xscope is a solid browser.
Lovely app, Darken mode is absolutely brilliant !!!
As long as it’s lightweight, snappy, supports a “Desktop” user-agent, and correctly renders a few pages I visit often, I’d be willing to give it a go. “Darken” mode sounds interesting. So far, Opera is my only choice as it’s the only one that meets my simple requirements, though it feels heavy. There’s definitely a niche to fill. Is it so hard to render pages with an embedded scrollbar? I’m looking at you Dolphin…
Sick name, looks smooth, seems like a keeper
oooh oooh I wanna be Dom Deluise…oh wait thats Cannonball Run…oh well I still wanna be him. But anyway this browser could be very useful.
Have been an xscope user for about a year. Would love to give it a try on the nexus.
i have been a long time user of xScope and will continue to do so. hands down its the best browser even better than dolphin.
love xscope, would really love it on a nexus
been using forever…
Though it does seem interesting, still not sure I’m completely sold….
I’m amazed by the number of great browsers that Android offers. My data cap requires that I use Opera on the go, but I also have many others when on wifi. I may add this one to my current selection though.
My wife would maybe, probably have sex with me if I’d win her this!!
App definitely seems like it is worth a try. I think I’ll give it a shot when i get home from work.
You guys gotta send this one my way!
I’ve always been a fan of dark UI Themes. My PC Windows theme is almost all black.
You will all bow to me once I win this!
If I win the Nexus, the first app I will download will be xScope!
Can’t wait to check out xScope…ON MY NEW NEXUS 7!
I’d be willing to give it a shot on a brand new Nexus 7.
Maybe there is finally a browser to use over the stock JB browser? This will be interesting to check out.
Looks pretty cool
The feature for reviewing the last page seems very useful.
I’m reluctant to try any browser that you need to pay for simply because I have no problem with the free browsers. Giving away a nexus 7 is a great move by them to get the word out though and if I were to somehow win… All my friends and family would be downloading this browser on principal haha
I am interested in checking this out!
Seems like a great browser upgrade! First app that will go on my new Nexus 7 if I win :)
This is a nice review. Wish I had a Nexus7 to use the app.
This would be an awesome device to win.
Interesting. I will have to play with it.
I used to use xScope back in the day. Glad to see it hasn’t been left by the wayside and will definitely download it again and see the improvements
I stick to Chrome, but might check this out as my alternate.
I know you want to give mea Nexus 7!! Just give it to me already!
xscope seems like it has some cool features. can I have my nexus7 now?
I need to win this contest so I can get that app. It looks so cool!
It certainly sounds like an interesting app, though the level of effort in trying out a new browser is non-trivial, making me less likely to do so (free or paid). I look forward to seeing more reviews over time.
Hurray!!
Man there are so many good browsers on android.
I’m still surprised that the default android browser doesn’t have an incognito window. I’m glad it’s being brought in by others
Interesting. Will definitely check this out.
As someone who streamlines Google chrome across multiple devices, I always welcome something new to compare and pinpoint what it can do better. All browsers have at least one thing that is done better than others. As a developer, I look forward to see new applications
This is the first time hearing of the browser, but now I have to go give it a shot. Thanks for the heads up and the contest!
i like that this can convert the white to a darker white it would make it less blinding when surfing the web at night
Good solid app. I hope I win this contest
I volunteer to beta test xScope on the Nexus 7 if I win!:)
Definitely worth a try – Chrome is good but is missing some of these features!
Commenting! Better than sliced bread!
Never heard of xscope. Thanks for the review.
Nice article!!! I’d like to throw my hat in there for a chance to win a Galaxy 7 and play with xXcope!!! :)
Sounds like it has some potential!
This looks good, going to give it a try, but would rather try it on a nexus. :-)
time to check out the browser
I’ve tried xScope before, might be time to give it another try.
I’ll definitely have to try out this browser. I would love to do so on a Nexus 7
Thus browser seems like the developer put all the great thing and improved on the good things Fromm all the other browsers. Can’t wait to try it out.
will check it out
Nice review
Well, it looks like I will “go ahead and leave [my] comment then head over to Google Play to check out xScope for [my]self.”
seems like a pretty cool app! i’d love to have a new tablet =)
I’ve been using it forever. XScope rocks.
Looks like I have a new browser to try out… I’m very partial to pics stock
I’ll have to give it a try
Winning a N7 would be fantastic, especially considering how subpar my Tab 7.0 Plus is lately. Too slow with a Touchwiz on it.
I would like that very much
Sounds interesting…I’ll give it a try.
This sounds like a winner (just like me? Please?)!
It’s interesting to see that this will be the only major browser in JB that still supports Flash (that is if you sideload it). Seems like the browser has all the major features that I’m looking for, is there a Lite versioin to try?
Well this is going to get out of hand!
Looks great!
I decided to give your browser a try, I’m currently using another market browser but this browser shows some serious promise and has features that my current browser lacks, I’m really liking it alot so far!
Interesting looking app. Google Credit may be used soon!
Yeah I’ve been using xScope since it was first released. It’s fantastic
Looks like a pretty sweet browser option for Android. Gotta love competition.
I’d love to be able to try this out on a tablet
I’ve been using Xscope Pro for quite a while and it is a GREAT browser. I love the features, quick response and ad blocking!
Interesting alternative. I’ll probably give it a try.
Seems like an appealing app.
Big gulps huh? Welp, see ya later!
Looks interesting but not sure if it could replace Chrome for me
I’ve been an xScope user for a while and would love to win.
love the openness of the android platform. Glad that so many people are collaborating on wonderful products.
I would LOVE to have a tablet. I have a crappy old computer and an old phone. Having something new and free would be awesome!
Nice, I agree with the others, the darken mode is great for night-time browsing and sets this browser apart from the others.
I’ve been using Dolphin for since my HTC Hero so maybe it’s time to try something new.
And I’m jealous of my brother’s Nexus 7 so here’s hoping I win one!
I think xScope might just be the greatest browser the world has ever known.
Go xscope!
Very cool to see a developer making things better for us Android users. In addition a Nexus 7 would go great with my Galaxy Nexus!
(insert comment here)
I know I have probably the small chance, but hey, every post counts so, fingers crossed, hope I win
I had used xScope a while ago, but have not given it a look again. I will now!
I’d love to try xScope on the nice new Nexus 7 once i win :D
I can’t wait to try xScope on my new Nexus 7! :)
Like it so far, can’t wait to see further updates
Impressive feature set for sure. Willing to give it a try over Chrome for sure!
Man, I can’t get enough of these browsers. I’ve got way too many of those already, but I can find room for one more.
Looks like a promising browser. I’ve ditched opera recently… Laugh for an alternative will give this a try…
I want to try this on a new free Nexus.
Looks like a very good browser. I’ll give it a try to mix things up and see if it can increase my productivity. A Nexus 7 would be nice as well.
Nice try on introducing the new idea of the app!
xscope browser is the best i am recommending this browser to everyone i know
Oooooo I think I can win this thing if I can just stick the landing!
I’ve enjoyed Xscope and think it has promise but it would be more useful with richer plugin support, xmarks and lastpass coming to mind.
I love the “Darkened Screen” and how you can operate the browser with one hand. Very Nice.
I’ve been switching between xScope and Dolphin Browser HD as my daily browser for a while now. Still can’t figure out which one I like more.
I have tried this browser couple of times but now it has made some admirable progress by brining a balance between speed and features. The best feature is the “Darken Mode” since one of the major issue with almost all smart phone is battery consumption. I use inverted Gapps applications and hence the browser really blends well…
I was a big fan of xScope before. Definitely going to try this out.
Sounds like a great browser!
The Darken mode sounds like a great feature if you have an AMOLED screen. Alas, my phone has a SuperLCD screen, so I suspect that won’t help as much.
Interesting…will try.
Being able to switch up browsers is a great option. I use different browsers depending on what task I’m doing. This one seems like a great addition to that. Thanks for the great review!
Having both an iPad and a tablet, I can definitely say that Android tablets are more user-friendly. And I haven’t had money charged to my CC from any of my Android devices. I’m very excited to test out this new browser.
I’ll only take it if it comes with xScope preloaded.
I’m gonna check out Xscope and would love to be picked as the winner!
I think the app’s icon doesn’t do it justice. I came across this app on search before but paid it no mind because the bland icon didn’t draw me in.
These comments…. ridiculous.
Xscope sounds like a winner. Now I hope they make me a winner of a new nexus 7 tablet. ;-)
xScope is great I love their browser.
Looks like a pretty nice browser. I like the darken mode and built in ad blocking.
Love the website keep up the great work :)
Awesome browser, may be my favorite.
Thank you for the review and the opportunity to receive a Nexus 7. I’ll have to check out xScope.
I’ve been a Dolphin HD user for years now but have noted its beginning to”bulk up”. I’ll be happy to try xScope or as an additional option.
xscope will work great on my new nexus 7 tablet that i am going to win =P
This looks pretty innovative I might have to try it out!
This is a very good browser. Little more polish and this thing had the potential to be my browser of choice. Will try and make this my daily browser for the rest of the month.
Worth checking out. I’ve gotten used to Chrome as my default browser though.
Pick me, pick me, I’ll try anything once!
Winner, Winner!
Truly a fresh and unique browsing experience, keep up the great work
Thanks for the giveaway.
More choice in browsers is always good.
Sounds like a great browser. Would love to try it on a Nexus 7….
Thanks for the review. I’ve been looking for a more current look at the browser.
This browser seems cool, but I’m not sure its slick enough to overtake my love of Chrome.. What about the tabs I have open in chrome on my other PC’s?
Sweet, would like a Nexus 7!
I would love to use xscope on my own. Nexus 7
This browser looks sweet. I’ll have to check it out.
I gotta admit, I’ve never heard of this browser before in my life but, after reading this review, I feel like I need it! All those features seem amazing. My favorite is the Darkened mode.
As a developer, I need a 7 inch tablet to optomize my apps for. The Nexus 7 would be awesome for such tasks!
Thank you for this contest, xScope! (Love you)
After reading this review… I gotta try this app out!
Looks great. I will definitely to try it out. Thanks for the chance at getting the Nexus 7.
It’s actually a decent browser app.. better than Dolphin imo…
looks like a solid update. liked the speed last time i tried it but was hooked on the gesture support of dolphin. will give it another shot.
Throw a Fox a bone Gary. Won’t bother your chickens anymore.
This browser looks excellent!
hi there :)
Checked it out. Was pretty happy with it. Will probably keep using it. Thanks for the heads up.
Hope I get it!
Sounds great! Looks like they tried to think of everything to make Xscope user-friendly. Thanks for the review. It definitely appears to be worth checking into!
Any chance to win a Nexus 7 is worth taking the time to download an app
it sounds interesting, i may have to give this one a try.
Pick me…. :) Or the person after me…..
I will certainly try this out. I do a lot more browsing during my train commute than I ever thought I would and the stock browser does underwhelm sometimes.
ladies and gentlemen, there are seven wonders of the world…
you are about to witness – the eighth!
Pin to zoom has definitely been around for at least a year iirc
I would love to try this app out on a new nexus 7 tablet. I bet it rocks!
Fingers crossed!!!
I have this browser from the Amazon app store.
This review has convinced me to checkout xscope. Thanks!
I would definitely get Xscope, however it is not compatible with my android device. Womp Womp.
I haven’t tried Xscope in a while. Gotta give it a another shot escpeally with the Darken Mode feature.
I use Xscope all the time. its great!
Looks awesome!
Finally a phone browser that seemsto finally get it right/
I’ll download the browser with my $25 Google Play credit when I win the Nexus!
This browser looks like it has some really useful one handed browsing features. I like the darken feature as well.
Darken mode is worth the purchase price. I also like how easy the toggles are to change. Ideally I’d love the ability to toggle every feature but I realize that’s a lot to ask. Programs like this are the reason I love Android, keep up the great work!
Very cool, I love the darken backgrounds, I am going to use it tonight to read my news and the screen won’t be so bright as to disturb she-who-must-not-be-named.
I’ve never used this app, but I might be so inclined if I were to win this delicious tablet. =D
looks great i will defiantly give this a shot!
Chester Copperpot?
The darkened mode is very intriguing. Would definitely get it on my new nexus 7!
wow great app great device would love them both
I heard xScope will feature world peace in near future. And cookies.
More browser choices sweet. Dig the
“Darken” mode as it’s easy on the eyes. Props to you
Gary. Good luck and thanks for the giveaway.
I’ll give this a try. Wonder if the different zoom gesture might come to the rescue whenever apple’s attack dogs come after that pinch zoom patent.
I been using xscope pro for almost 2 years. I prefer it over the rest. Great browsing experience.
Dark mode is a great idea!
I would like this please.
Great browser. Been using it as my main browser for almost 2 years !
Good review
This is the first time I’m trying xscope browser. I really like the darken mode.
I played a bit with xScope on my Droid X. Glad to see it’s still improving… would love to try it out again on a new Nexus 7 :D
xScope is an amazing app; a terrific browsing experience on any Android device! Especially for those of us with AMOLED screen, it really is a lifesaver for battery life, with the “Darken” display option, and is also easy on the eyes, particularly at night. At the price, there is no going wrong; I would gladly pay more. There is so much more to say about this fast, easy-to-use, lightweight browser, but I’ll just leave off with this: xScope is the perfect browser for me!
There is only one thing that can make the experience beyond perfection: a Nexus 7. =)
I’ve used Dolphin Browser HD for about 3 years after trying all the other major browsers available for Android…and then I found xScope. The gestures make browsing more fun and its great that it has such a small footprint. Also, the zoom functionality is super intuitive and an interesting twist over every other browser. Definitely recommend!
Still haven’t tried JB. Is it the nexus 7 hardware + JB or is JB this slick looking on all devices?
Nice browser. Looking forward to some new features.
Sounds like an impressive browser, although i think i will wait until an update to polish it up a bit more before i drop the 3 dollars on it for my galaxy s2 skyrocket. Chrome will work until then
Nexus 7 FTW!!!
Its amazing because awhile ago I had contacted the developer with a long list of features and fixes to be improved upon and he has done every one of those things to make the browser as great as it is today
this browser does really seem to be heading in the right direction. i like that dark feature
Oh….SNAP!!!! YES PLEASE!!!!!
XScope has been my go-to browser for quite some time. Speedy, simple, and surprisingly ALWAYS seems to work better and more efficiently and properly than the stock browser on every device I’ve owned.
Of course, a free N7 would sweeten the deal. :)
I am in need of this.
I heard “Flash support” in the video. Is that GNex running Jelly Bean?
If I win I promise that the first app I download on the Nexus 7 will be the xScope app!
Would love the Nexus 7 :)
I walked into the local bar with xScope open on my phone and all the ladies jumped right on me.
lookie like firefox, i like firefox, Hope I win to try it on my new nexus 7 tablet. :)
If I win xScope will be the first app I download on the Nexus 7!
I don’t deserve to win… so… don’t randomly choose me! :)
I used Xscope before I changed phones about a year ago. I used to like it a lot. Forgot all about it. I’ll have to check it out again. Thanks for reminding me!
Xscope love!
xScope sounds like one heckuva browser!
Love all the features! I’ll be checking out xScope for sure!
looks like somethigng that I will have to download soon, not a big fan of my current browser.
cool. my only question is, can it synch my bookmarks with google? that is the only reason why i use chrome.
Looks interesting, will go check it out.
Hide you iphones, hide yo ipads. Someones gettin an N7 tonight!
awsome
Nexus 7 FTW luck is on my side
Kitty cats.
Please let me win.
Always up for a new browser. Let the 3 dollar experiment begin!
Sounds like mouth wash, but I’m in.
Want. Badly.
So i am one of the many who have already bought a nex 7 and the screen has cracked so i would love to get another and try this browser
I’m going to have to check to see if there’s a trial version. The darkening mode sounds very intriguing. Especially for late night web browsing on a Nexus 7… *cough* *cough*
lemme hold dat nexus 7 tho
Looks like an interesting browser!
Hook it up!
Woah, a feature-packed browser! It sounds awesome!
Xscope looks like an ok browser. The darken feature would be great if more devices used AMOLED displays.
This looks interesting. To better experience the xscope browser in its entirety, and to make better experience to the android platform. may i ask you to send one my way? :)
Random comment for a random winner. “I’m really sick of the smoke from the wildfires here out west. Come on rain!”
I want a nexus 7¡
From the video I have watch the gesture movement and the speed in the browser look nice I’m looking forward to try it
With this device, I won’t have to utilize scope websites anymore cause I can now scope it with Xscope!
I have used all the browsers avalible to the Android operating system Xscope browser is very fast.
please!
Its a very interesting app… cant wait to use it on my new nexus 7! *wink wink* *nudge nudge*
The “Darken” feature is an interesting concept. Hope I get to see how it functions on a Nexus 7!
I hope this isn’t a double post. My Internet went down just as I clicked the post button.
Heading over to the play store to check it out now!
Came here for the Nexus 7. Ended up downloading xScope.
I want a nexus 7 and I’ll check out scope as well.
This actually looks like a better browser than Chrome. I have seen many but never one that would deter me from chrome, I would definitely check this out.
When I win this Nexus 7, this will be the first thing I download :-)
Darkening mode sounds like a great idea.
Used to love xScope. But Chrome is much better.
Wow, 1 in 660 chance? I’ll take that!
Great browser …
I’ve been meaning to give xScope a try. Sounds like now is a good time
Wow this is actually a really great browser I downloaded it to my HTC Evo and so far its the best browser i’ve used on it.
I like the gestures, don’t see myself using them but you may never know. The best thing about this browser is the speed. By far the fastest browser I have used.
Looks like I better check this out. My phone still on GB and this looks bettee than stock browser.
Ok – I’m ready to venture into… THE FUTURE (but I need a Nexus 7 – PPWSOT?)
wow, highly unlikely, I know, but might just win it
I wash out my mouth with xScope
Sounds like a feature-filled browser!
I’ll have to check this out, Chromw is buggy and slow as mollasses on my Infinity
Nice Review! Sounds like I gotta try this app out.
xscope works great with my sniper rife! I get nothing but head shots!
I may check out xscope again… I had defected to the stock browser after ICS. pick me for the nexus 7!!!
Anything that helps improve battery life on our portable devices is A+!
Not bad looking.
Cant wait to try it out on that Nexus 7…
xScope sounds like a browser that I have to try and maybe on my new Nexus 7?
Well I’m all for contests and I’ll now have to check this browser out. This is one I haven’t used before.
Awesome have always used and love xScope and certainly wouldn’t mind a shiny new nexus thank you for your consideration
How nice of an app developer to involve the community this way. Whether I win or lose, thanks Gary!
yes please. thank you.
Anything app that helps with battery life is a plus. I was a fan of the app in the past as it was worth 2 thumbs up, looking forward to trying the newest version out soon.
Greatness
Not only would I like a Nexus 7, I think it should come with a free download of Xscope.
I’ve been using xScope Browser on my Skyrocket for quite sometime. Love how it renders the browser based on the page. I don’t have to scroll to view the page. I would love to view browser on the Nexus 7 using xScope. Thanks for the offer.
I suppose I too, must comment. Personally, not a fan of gestures. Screen lag plagues me.
the darken mode sounds great for amoled!
I remember back in the N1 days when xscope was my main browser of choice. It is certainly a reliable and fast browser. But i would have to agree with the review about it needing a little bit of polish. :b
Mine main beef with most browsers is how much battery they eat. Make this easy on the juice and I’m all in!
Hm I need to check this out :)
Awesome!
Pick me! :)
Maybe this will be what we’ve been looking for.
Like the toggles and dark screen mode. But, so many browswer options…for free. Nice concepts though…
The browser sounds rather compelling because of the gestures and darkening functionality. That feature alone is worth the price of admission, due to the battery savings.
xScope makes me smarter and you better looking! In all seriousness, it’s a great browser: it’s fast, full of features, and reasonably light weight. An added bonus is that it includes a link to add Flash support for Jelly Bean!
xScope Browser Pro was one of my first Android app purchases. I use it everyday
Xscope is great. The updates have definitely moved in the right direction. It is my default browser. Cant wait to see what the future holds.
The whole point of android is open source and xscope follows that by delivering a browser to the community more choice the better.
I’m excited to try it out. I haven’t found a browser to replace Skyfire yet in terms of video playback.
I like xScope and you will too.
The Darkening mode sounds interesting.
I didn’t care for Xscope but then again it was quite awhile ago and even then it was Amazon’s version which was bound to be far behind
Looks to be a great browser. I will give it a spin.
pick-a-me!
will have to check this browser out
The only tablet in my household is a defective iPad. I need to pounce on this opportunity to banish the Apple tat!
Will have to try it out and see if it can make me a believer. Definitely interested in the swipe for Forward and Back gesture, all browsers should have that!
Ad blocking that actually works. Yes, please.
I like the the darken feature I might have to give this a try
Xscope love
I’m gonna have to go and try it out now. This was my go to browser on my OG Droid. Then I got my Gnex and Chrome came out and I just totally forgot about good ol’ XScope.
Edit: Ok cool. I’m definitely going to try out Xscope Pro as my default for a little. Love the layout and so far it seems to be at least as fast as Chrome, and I actually like the layout better so far. the toggle dark mode is really cool, always looking for more apps with a dark option in the never ending quest for more battery life.
Installing now ;)
As an early adopter I can say that xScope is in my top 3 along with Chrome and dolphin hd coming as a close third. Together they summarize pretty well what Android is all about: choices!
What a great idea:-) !!! Good luck
Mr. Sui, the last time I tried your browser was on my Samsung Moment which was on its last leg. It was horrible and laggy. I hated it so much that I uninstalled it as hard as I possibly could. Now in retrospect, I’m thinking it was probably just my phone. I’d love to have the chance to try your browser on a respectable device that should do it more justice. Thank you!
Your review seems like a great “what’s new” instruction page for an already great product. Can’t wait to try it. Keep up the good work… Both of you!
Nice browser. The Darken Mode and the tab swipe switching are cool features.
if I win, would you still send one to nepal? In that case, I am in. I’d love to have a tablet at all, and the 7 is a dream for me ever since it was announced!
I’ve been using XScope for as long as I can remember. Its miles ahead of many other browsers and the black theme looks great! PS Pick me !!
Thank you for making this fine application and hosting this contest! Good luck everyone!
I like Dolphin, but an alternative is always welcome.
Your review about the browser made me go check it out. I really like light apps. A Nexus 7 wouldn’t hurt as well. Great promotion for their app.
My thunderbolt isn’t compatable yet but the app sounds great
I’m torn. On the one hand I love that with Android I can try lots of new apps. On the other hand, sticking with stock apps let’s me experience a true Google device.
Would be even better if it was free :P
Awesome app. Let me get some of that Google love
id love a n7
Great concept, I really like darken mode. Flash support is solid. Hope to see the few bugs worked out.
I guess I could use one of these. : )
I like the various gestures! Seems like an interesting browser :)
This was the browser i first started using on my DInc. The review doesn’t even mention that it can function as a decent file browser as well.
After downloading and trying Xscope out first hand I feel that it has plenty of potential, but its quite not there yet. It has unique features that other browsers do not have but at the same time it has many “look at this” features. Some are unnecessary but some are extremely handy such as the built in file explorer. Will I keep Xscope? Of course I will, I paid 3$ for it. Will it be my default browser? No, not yet within one or two more updates I will def become a believer!
THIS LOOKS AMAZING!
pick me
xScope is definitely worth a try!
Wooohoooo!!!!!!!!! I want!!!!!
N7, please? :)
Good to see another nice browser.
Awesome app. Even more awesome on a Nexus 7 ;)
And…….downloaded. I am always searching for new browsers to see if anything beats my personal favorite, Dolphin.
Tried it before wasn’t amazed. Will give it another shot!
Finally a browser thats speedy and functional, once I have a device that can use it.
Good luck and thanks for the contest!
xscope has a cool name yo
Nexus 7 plz!
xscope rules, thats why ive been using it back in the day on my evo 4g
cool…thanks!!!
My (soon to be) Nexus 7 smells of ……… rich mahogany.
I could totally use a nexus 7
Nice app!
I really like that they give their users a way to still have flash :)
XScope’s gesture seem very cool! Hopefully other browsers adopt similar options!
I have tried XScope and it is a very good browser.
I’ve had Xscope on my phone for a while. It’s definitely a contender along with a couple of others.
Downloading now!
Never heard of Xscope, but I’ll give it a try for myself and see how it feels
Xscope proved to be a great app. The darken mode is a cool feature. Not having to light up all the pixels will definitely free up a lot of battery power. I have to say the pin swipe and pin zoom are my favorite. im kinda lazy sometimes and love that i can go from page to page without having to open my list of pages. This is also the first browser to give me the full desk top experience. The tabs up top give the feel of actually using a full blow browser. and the settings are great. I hate mobile versions and this lets me go straight to the desktop version.
Xscope seems pretty cool, going to have to try it out
Xscope is a prett bad a$$ browser
This app is awesome!!!
Xscope is one of the fastest browsers I’ve used dating all the way back to OG Droid days.
This is the winning comment.
I’ve tried xscope in the past and it was great before I moved to Chrome. Maybe it’s time to give it a try again
Much thanks for the review! If I win the Nexus 7, xScope Browser Pro will be my very first purchase.
The one handed zoom gestures sounds interesting.
I heard this was an amazing tablet, would love to win!
pin to zoom seems really cool.
Giving it a shot now.
I’d like a Nexus 7 with xScope!
The app looks pretty damn smooth. I think the app would look soooooooo much better with that uhh BRAND NEW NEXUS 7….ahem sorry I got ahead of myself…I was only thinking about my BRAND NEW NEXUS 7!
I like the one handed gestures and the built-in file browser for downloads. Does it have a built-in password manager and auto form fill? If so how protected is your data?
I’ve never been a huge fan of gestures while browsing. Having said that I’ve only used a phone and never a tablet. Using gestures while browsing on a tablet seems feasible and possibly a requirement.
I need one.
Can’t wait to try this app out on the new nexus 7 that I will hopefully win!
Looks like there are some nice features bundled with xScope, I’ll have to give it a try.
Hmm… this browser isn’t compatible with my phone, but maybe I’ll win the tablet?
xScope is definitely worth spending a little more time with, shows a fair amount of promise! Kudos to all involved.
Would love to get a Nexus 7
I downloaded this browser and used for a bit. Why cant Chrome be this nice? I’m sold. Features are great and tweakability is great. Nice job Gary and xScope!
downloading now!
If what you’re saying is true, this may just be the greatest browser ever made.
(insert witty/cool comment here)**
firefox its still the best browser :D
I’d love to give xScope a try on a Nexus 7
Looking forward to testing it out, hoping to see this stack up against some of the best.
Very nice review, I look forward to using this software.
Me want free thing!
I’ll be sure to give it a try. Don’t let me down review lol
It’s a good alternative to the the default.
Checking out Xscope right now.
I’ve tried this out before… Pretty light browser IMO, and it at least fits well with ICS and JB unlike other browsers.
Phandroid & Xscope………………………..YOU ROCK MY SOCKS!!!!! :)
Need nexus 7.
I love the darkening mode. My favorite feature so far!
I’m not sure I can be as witty as previous comments.
Looks neat, would probably use the darken mode if I had an AMOLED screen.
Xscope will be the first app I load onto my new Nexus 7.
Nice browser, however, one definitely needs 2 hands on a Nexus 7 due to its width. Support for Flash until it fades away is clever. All the pinching and finger movements are extra bonuses. My question is: why is this selling for $2.99 when other browsers are free? Did I miss something? :-
Thanks for the giveaway Gary!
Congrats for trying to get the best of both worlds!
I would like love to win a new us for my 14year old daughter going into high school.
It would be nice to try before I buy. Looks cool.
Cool!
Hope to win!
I love the one handed double tap and swipe or up and down gestures making it easy to navigate within your browser.
great great great, I always love something like this. But would like even more if I win at least once
That is awesome.
That sounds pretty cool. Love to give it a try.
Can’t begin to say how happy I am you did this review
ever since getting gs3 w/ICS I have used chrome and I wasn’t happy
Went back to xscope and everything is better, again! ;-)
Count me in! ;-) xScope Browser is pretty great browser with great gesture-based navigation which has no match. Keep it up!
Darkening mode is sweet!
Good luck to everyone in the contest!
I seem to remember downloading this way back in the day, on my g1 perhaps? Maybe it was the D1. Did this have one of those on the fly flash to mp4 conversion features?
Woo finally a 4.0, browser with darken mode!
Okay…the SwipeNav technology is interesting…but it isn’t free, so i think it isn’t worth trying on my Xperia Mini Pro because of the small screen….
The app looks pretty well designed. Would love to check it out on an Android tablet!
This browser looks great on my fascinate! It would look way better on a tablet though!!
me like
I’m sure that many people will be impressed by this browser, but include me out. It doesn’t do anything that Chrome Mobile doesn’t already do; it just does them differently. And when you zoom on a page, you can’t move that page around to locate your target, according to the review. That’s a big minus to me. I just don’t see how this is any better than any other mobile browser out there. Meh.
I’ll have to check it out. it’s always nice to have options!
I can’t wait to save battery life with darken; that’s a great feature by itself, but when combined with speed, this looks like a winner
I remember hearing about xscope months and months ago, everyone said it was an extremely fast browser and they loved it, looks like they just made it better and better since then, I’ll most likely be buying this app once I get the 3 bucks for it. Damn I’m poor.
Would be great to have a nexus 7 to replace my aging htc desire for web browsing ;)
Have been a long time user of xscope, always preferred it to Dolphin Browser. Would love a shiny new tablet to run it on too.
Nice review, will check out this browser later on and see how it feels against Chrome.
Give me a nexus 7 please
This app actually looks nice. I like the “darken” mode as my current handset is kind of cheap in the battery department. Sleek design and nice look&feel. I’ll see if it will live up to the expectations during the first 15 Minutes.
I sure would like to test this app on a new handset *hint hint*
I used Xscope some time ago and I liked it, although I’m now trying the stock browser again. It’s time to give Xscope a new chance! :)
I like turtles…
Hope I win
The gestures are pretty neat. I’ll give it a try.
Love that more browsers are popping up! Will definitely check it out
I’d love to win a Nexus!! The browser looks cool too!
Been using xscope for awhile now, and it works great! Props to the dev!
I haven’t heard of XScope before. I will learn more and perhaps try it. Thanks for the info and the chance at a Nexus 7.
Is it just me or no one finds this a little hypocritical? I mean a few weeks ago Phandroid detested a website who would provide “LEGIT reviews on an app” service, and now Phandroid seems to be kinda doing the same thing? I doubt you guys decided to review Xscope and he happened to plan a free giveaway? Either ways, I love the app but need 4.0 to get the latest update since the old one is not so great with background loading anymore :S I want to win!
This app actually looks pretty good Im going to give it a try for sure
Pretty epic browser!
Fantastic review! The Nexus 7 rules!
I’ve used xScope before. Not a bad browser I must say.
Ps: Everyone, be a good sport and please, please stop commenting :)
I love the “Darken mode” feature, that would come in super handy on the Galaxy S3
Gah! Darn you, special contests that make me come out of my dark corner and post!
Nexus 7 sold out here. Been waiting weeks for it
Count me in! I love contests and am still bummed I can’t afford a Nexus 7! I doubt I’ll win, but here’s to trying, right?!
Great review and you definitely got me hooked on to xScope!
i want both!
I’m glad someone finally added a darken feature to their browser.
Seems like everyone should have it.
I would give the xScope Browser a whirl if I had a nice shiny Nexus 7 to try it out on!
I use xscope … occasionally.
You know what’s fun? Frisbee
Its ok, i like chrome better
Darkening mode seems cool. Be a lot easier on the eyes at night time also.
Looks like chrome with the awesome ICS/Jelly Bean theme. I like that, looks better and works better than chrome itself :D
Just bought it too, hope it works on my current bad devices ;)
great browser guys, I wish you all the best with it and hope that it goes exactly how you’re wanting it to! Even though I probably won’t win, thanks for the oppourtunity, people like you make android the great community it is! Cheers!
This seems to be a well-featured browser, I like the gestures shortcuts and the toggles. I hopeI can use it on a Nexus 7…
(By the way, Walt Jr.’s website in the video? Nice touch!)
Darken mode of Xscope is pretty awesome, but pin to zoom is freakin sweet!
Coool, waiting for you email :P
I have been using Xscope pro for almost 2 years and it continues to improve. The features are a big plus and it has been a quick browser but the one thing that always stood out compared to other altunitives was the fact I could count on it to consistently work on each web page and even work well in desk top mode. I have found any other that would work as consistently.
Seems like a great tablet and that was a nice review. Great job on the browser, would love to own that Nexus :)
i am not a big fan of chrome as a browser so i will be giving Xscope a shot next time its payday
If only I would have some Android device to test the browser on ;)
Love the Ad blocking and darkened mode.
Okay can I get my Nexus 7 now
Looks interesting, I’ll have to try it.
It certainly works and I agree it’s got great potential, but it’s still pretty far away from making me turn away from Chrome!
its a really good app
Would love to try this out on a nexus 7!
I will keep this as a secondary browser for now and see where the developer takes it
At such a low price it looks like a great browser, got it on my Galaxy Nexus and would love it on my Nexus 7! (If I was to own one)
Interested intrying out Darken mode could be use full for not disturbing my wife when i read in bed.
^^ I remember using xScope before (beta?) It was nice then… but I haven’t used this one. O_O seeing apps go from alpha, beta and final makes me feel old.
Good luck to everyone!
Every good App can become a great App with enough tweaking. I’ll give it a chance after I buy my Galaxy Note 2! :)
I would love to check out xScope on a Nexus 7!
I would really like to try out xScope on a new 7
Looks awesome. Just wishing I had the Nexus to test it with. :)
Nexus 7? Sure. :)
Xscope and nexus 7 perfect combination screw apple and it’s patents
I’m liking the gestures! Might have to give this browser a try.
xScope Browser Pro is pretty sweet Kip. You can use one finger to flippin pin to zoom. Double tap and swipe in chronological order to switch through your tabs. Are you blind Kip? No that is just the Darken Mode to save your eyesight and amoled battery. Ligers will find this feature useless as ligers can see without their eyes. It’s pretty sweet to access the SD Card from the browser menu. Now I can walk 40 miles and instagram pic of ligers and bears. The stock browser is gross. Eat it Tina. I would pretty much say the xScope Browser Pro is the best browser in the universe. I can’t be really sure though unless I can see it on a Nexus 7. Guess I’ll have to take this dude’s word on it for now.
Haven’t heard of xscope before, but will definitely take a look into what it is!!
I used xscope on one of my previous devices. It was definitely one of my favorite browsers. I’ll have to give it a try on my gnex
Darken and incognito = Win and sold
Impressed with the browser on Galaxy Nexus…i think it’d be better tested on a new Nexus 7 however
i wanttt.
who me?? how thoughtful of you!!
Thank you Gary Sui for choosing me to be the winner of the Nexus 7 for me to use xScope on and promote its use to all my friends! Their iPad batteries will overheat with envy!
I’d leave a review for Xscope, but these are just too funny to to… Good luck to all of you
Used to use xScope on my OG Droid, great browser! =D
Great review, going to go give Xscope a try now.
I like the idea of the customizability, heading to the Play Store to check it out.
The Nexus 7 is for me!!
Darken is great for surfing the web at night… a lot easier on your eyes… and has built in ad blocker… GREAT browser
Nexus 7 sounds fun
Would love to try this out on a Nexus 7 please.
xScope looks interesting. I especially like the idea of the various gestures and the darkened mode/theme. Also, I’m just gonna keep entering all these Nexus 7 contests until I win one, so save everyone the hassle and give this one to me.
I’ll give it a shot for sure, always looking for something better for a browser. Now if only I could get something for my WP…..
Xscope looks pretty cool. Going to try it out now.
Not sure I will use this over Chrome. I just can’t give up the sync it has with my desktop Chrome browser.
Nexus 7, wow. That would be great with Xscoupe. Give give give…. please!
gonna give it a try, looks smoother than firefox or chrome
Good review. Phandroid has lead me to find several apps that I use on a daily basis, and because of that… I always come back. In to win!
XScope browser is fast and smooth but I only wish the UI was cleaner and I will use it as my daily driver. Keep up the GREAT work guys! Android Rocks! :)
Good luck everyone
Definitely a browser I will try as soon as I’m home
i’d like one please :)
These days, there’s just one question for me: does it sync my browsing history across all Android devices and all computers I have?
pretty sweet app
All right I’ll give this browser a try
nexus 7, please!
Awesome I could use one
Looks awesome…could I have one please?
Sounds like a sweet deal to me.
Looks pretty cool, love the extra gesture idea. plus i want to win!
Hearing lots of good things, looks like I’ll have to try this browser out.
Darkening mode takes an app to the next level.
File browser – NICE ADD!
The gestures feature of Xscope looks like an amazing feature that I would love to experience for myself some day. I’ve never personally had any tablet and have been considering the Nexus 7 since it came out. It would be the best early Christmas present ever to be able to get this amazing tablet and use Xscope.
Yes please
Pin to zoom sounds awesome
Simply Amazing…what else has to be said!!!
Me Please!! Dark Mode +1
It looks like a nice implementation but I will be tough to sway from chrome just because of its integration with everything else.
I just want a free Nexus 7!
Xscope. That word again. It takes me back – back to a time when hippies roamed the earth, and disco music was beginning its dastardly reign. When I was a young boy growing up in Moldava, we had access to many things, but were always denied the ability to post rambling, bullshit stories on the internet. Stories that run on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever. Which brings me to my time in the Philippines. But that’s another story.
Anyhoo, this browser thing is pretty cool.
Oops. Missed a meeting.
My friend has the Nexus 7 and it’s amazing! I want one!!
Tried it out, it’s definitely a contender!
I need a Nexus 7 to be able to fully test Xscope!
I love the Darkened mode. Not just for saving battery, it will save my eyes when using it in the dark!
Looks like a good browser, it does need some work done around the edges, but hopefully with time will come something special.
Awesome tablet i cant wait to win it. XScope has been my browser of choice for some time and is constantly improving
Nice!
I have never used Xscope. I haven’t used any Droid apps at all so far. I am a poor (RE: Frugal) guy who has medical expenses and such to keep up with. So purchases like a tablet are something I window shop for 2 + years before buying used somewhere. My only hope to check any of this out and thus have an opinion on the matter is through the random chances provided by sites like this, giving them away. I would cross my fingers, but don’t believe in luck. I believe in pure randomness and total kindness. I get excited to see the two meet, but will never confuse them for luck. I should hope to never be so insulting.
If I do win, I promise to come back and offer up a review however.
I gave it a try and I am a big fan of the darkening mode. Great work!
I’ve been using dolphin for ages. Sounds like it’s time to try something new.
That looks like a rather impressive browser, very customizable and some nice gestures. Coming from an iOS background myself I always get jealous when I see stuff like this and wish I has a way to set my default browser (w/o jailbreaking). If I win the Nexus, I’ll definitely be checking out xScope.
I’m downloading it.
Love this app. The customization options are superb
I have been using xScope since my Droid1, love it!
Great review, I will definitely be checking this out!
hi
I really like the Darken idea, that could save a lot of power on AMOLED displays
love xscope pro
Seems like a worthwhile browser based on this review. I’ll take a look on the Play Store and take it for a test drive.
Very helpful review–as we evaluate the ever-increasing options among tablet apps!
I’m interested to see how the blackened screen looks – I use that feature on the Kindle app all the time.
Awwww yeeeaaaaaahhhhhh Nexus 7
I am always in the market for a new browser, as I am not too keen on any that are out there right now. The features that have been pointed out make this a real contender. I would be happy to try this out on my tablet and replace Chrome. Good luck everyone
what a wonderful app!
Nice, I’ll have to give that app a try.
Please
I’ll take a look
So has anyone won?
Who won?
I like turtles.
And the winner is…
