new mobile browser

Javelin is a new mobile browser app with advanced features that makes it far easier to browse on Android phones & Tablets.

The 2 most innovative & useful features this new mobile browser app offers is the ability to block ads & multi-task between other apps & the browser. For example, if you are using the Facebook app & click on a link within the app, you can continue using the Facebook app while the browser loads the page.

The browser links you have open are arranged in cascaded windows using the Javelin Stack. It ensures you can open up multiple web pages in separate windows while keeping the referring app open, & then go through the windows one by one.

It also offers single gesture navigation, VPN & a bookmarking feature that automatically sorts your bookmarks based on the frequency of usage.

The ad blocker is implemented into the Javelin mobile browser app using AdBlock-Plus for Firefox. The browser extracts the main Content of Web pages while blocking ads, which means it frees up almost a quarter of your screen more to show the Content.

This, & the ability to adjust fonts & color schemes, makes the text a lot bigger & easy to read. Javelin also offers a ‘Reading’ mode, & an incognito mode for private browsing.

The location access setting is set to disabled by default, so Websites that want to use your location won’t automatically be able to do so unless you specifically enable it in the settings.

Note that some of the features on Javelin, developed by Steven Goh, are blocked in the free version. Premium features, such as the Spirit Mode – a built-in proxy service, are available through in-app purchases.

You can use the proxy service on a trial basis for a month, & after that for a US $1.99 subscription per month. The Pro version of the Javelin browser app will cost you $2.99 as a one-time purchase, also available as an in-app purchase.

Experiments – Get feedback on your product or service before it’s launched

Undoubtedly, market research is very important when you are promoting a product, a service or planling to launch a startup. But market research also involves some amount of investment. Consumer feedback does enhance the products’ long-term longevity. Keeping this in mind, a US-based company Javelin has developed a Web-based product that helps startups & small businesses to make a trial based experiment for their to-be-launched products.

‘Experiments’, as they have named it, works like a log book for your activities. Users can input their plans & ideas & track them as they proceed. The main benefit of Experiments is that it can help plan & track every action done or to be done in the pre-launch stage. Experiments runs these tasks & gives a quantifiable outcome based on interim results. These results can help get things done more in less effort.

Javelin provides various templates with Experiments to craft various hypothesis to fetch the results. For example, what will be the impact of adding a particular hashtag in my Twitter Campaign? The outcome will say 20% increase in user engagement. Users can save their experiments & apply them in real time for better results.

Experiments also gives feedback on the assumptions you make. As this system is linked to every stake holder of your company, other stake holders can give feedback & you can take the action, accordingly. Multiple experiments methods can be chosen from a wide range of methods & assumptions.

As all the experiments are saved & synced they can be accessed at any time & you can choose which one to run. Experiments automatically documents every result all the time.

Experiments has a free-trial period of 30 days. The personal edition is for US $29 per month which gives access to 1 Project, 5 users & Run & Track Experiments features. Other packages are yet to be announced. Experiments is still in beta & many new features are to be added.
