Jio Platforms launches JioPages, a made-in-India browser, competes with Chrome, Safari

Personalized Home Screen Users can set any of the leading search engines in the market, such as Google, Bing, MSN, Yahoo, or Duck Duck Go, as their default search engine. They could also pin the links of their favorite websites on the home screen for quick and easy access.

Personalized theme Users could choose from various colorful background themes that could add zest to the browsing experience. They could also switch to ‘Dark mode’ for an eye-friendly viewing experience at night.

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

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

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

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

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

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