Puffin for Facebook
- the creator of the Puffin Web Browser. Puffin for Facebook is a special edition of Puffin browser optimized for Facebook users. Its motto is "Better for Less" -
- a better user experience for less data usage.
A better user experience is made possible by Puffin's wicked fast cloud rendering. Puffin Browser is faster than other browsers or even native apps on high-end phones. The performance advantage is especially noticeable on mainstream or low-end phones.
Less data usage is made possible by Puffin's wicked efficient data compression. Puffin Browser consumes 80-90% less data than other browsers or even native apps. The data savings are more significant on slower network connections, like in developing countries or during data roaming.
Puffin for Facebook removes the traditional web browser UI for a fully immersed Facebook experience. Puffin UI is kept as subtle and intuitive as possible. For example, monthly data savings are displayed when refreshing the news feed. To view an image in full quality, simply shake the mobile device.
To fully appreciate Puffin for Facebook, try it on a Moto E phone using a 2G Edge network. Puffin for Facebook works remarkably well.

This application needs a switch of some sort to turn on the better quality images instead of shaking the phone all the damn time. Also that option does not work at all. I get the spinning wheel but it changes nothing. I went on the regular FB app to check on the same picture and the quality is WAY better
This app was great till a few weeks ago. I tried signing in like normal & it kept doing no internet which I had, then it did like opening & kept trying to load. Uninstalled & reinstalled works fine till you log out then does this again. But seems like you have to uninstall & reinstall just to use it. I wish it would work right again. Using regular puffin & it drains battery & also your given only so much time on it a day. I use for one game on FB for game & use different app to check fb.
It's not perfect. It can be clunky, but I LOVE this app. For one reason, it allows me to play a FB game on my phone. The game's phone/mobile version is a completely different game. Now I don't have to lug out my laptop if I want to check in with my ingame friends.
Puffin FB was my facorite Facebook app for years on my very old tablet. But recently it started to loose connection and freeze. Finally I bought a new Chromebook and installed Puffin FB ASAP only to find out that it is acting similarly. Nothing serious, but I need to close it and restart several times in one day. Waiting for a fix.
Photo unable to share with external app. If there are multiple photos, you can only keep tapping the arrow button to view next photo which is very tedious... what's the point of this app anyway
Pointless 'data savings' acts like a tedious, long drawn out splash-screen which can last up to 20 seconds depending on data speed. Ditch it.
nice. but there are some issues like there is always it redirects to messenger whenever persons wants to chat, and another thing there is no option to save the images . So please fix it soon.
Did all but two things.did not have enter key-stroke or way to see browser to shut facebook down to open a tab. I aint no genius might been under my friggen nose. TYVM
I can't post comments on all posts. Whenever I tap "enter" it adds a new line and there is no post or submit button next to the comment box.
I was happy with it but uninstalling because for some reason I can't paste copied text into the text fields in Facebook Marketplace.
Yes we are saving data but we need dark mode also, that option of shaking to review original picture should be changed pliz guys you should update this app more often...we need more options
Once upon a time this app was great. Now it often just doesn't work and developer support is non existent.
very confused, It was suggested that I download this app. So I could recieve gifts from friends on some of my games.
Fast and smooth experience, even on old devices with sub-1GB RAM.
Its faster than original facebook app and features are same as original fb...works good in low network areas better than fb lite also!
There is no copy paste system, no mention system. Data lost. Even the chrome is better than this ðŸ˜
guaranteed data savings. minor issue is ui not that fluid. kindly make ui as fluid as possible. thanks
Data Saving & storage saving. but UI experience not good. work about it
Good app, but constantly reconnecting in the middle of a session daily.
It was okay in the beginning but now it keeps crashing all the time..so i had to uninstall it
After a day of use it got slower on startup and now is having issues loading media
Good interface! Little slow for download pages.
Hacked my account. This app posted on my behalf without my knowledge. I only found out as A friend told me that i must have a rougue app installed after he saw the post. The post was taken down by facebook and i had to change my password. i was also locked out of messenger. This is my experience
Exactly what ive been wanting. Perfect for my slow data connection.
It is really fast! Try add more apps like Puffin Instagram, or Puffin Twitter.
this is the 21st centry, you guys need 2 make this wonderful app , so u can copy and paste , would help out great
For my often slow-for-browsing Android TV box, this custom browser can become an extra fast general web browser (not just for Facebook) without all the unwanted extra junk in the main Puffin browser. To do it, I had to find and click the xRadio.us/start link in the "about" tab for the Facebook page "bookmarks for night owls". That opens up a bookmarks launch page for lots of useful web sites. Web navigation can be a bit tricky at first but the speed advantage over other browsers makes it worth it. I do wish that Puffin developers would add a single user-defined link, example: xRadio.us/start, to the top of the Facebook bar. That would makes things so much easier.
