The layout is just a rip-off of the open-canvas setup of other, more popular browsers. It's noticeably slower than other browsers and it doesn't have the same sort of add-on support. Once you get over the novelty, it becomes obvious that Torch Browser isn't that powerful as a Web portal. However, it doesn't do any of those things well enough to replace what you currently use. It lags in performance and its major features aren't worth making the switch.Torch Browser tries to carve out its niche by being an all-in-one Web browser.

While it has options that make sharing and social media a breeze, Torch Browser just isn't unique enough to win people's hearts. In reviewing Torch in December 2012, CNET said of Torch 2.: "An all-in-one Web browser is nothing to sneeze at, but Torch Browser isn't going to pry you away from Chrome or Firefox.

Overall I have been pleased with the Torch Browser and I only hope it continues to grow so more social sharing features can be experienced and more files can be grabbed." If you like to browse the web while grabbing various files this might be the perfect browser for your arsenal of web applications. In October 2012 The Blog Herald said of Torch, "The Torch Web Browser is built on a lightweight framework that offers what appears to be decent security. There is no indication that it bundles malware as far as I can see. I have not used this browser & it seems to have had a bit of a mixed reception. VirusTotal clears their site as clean & WOT gives the site a 'trusted' rating. I very much doubt that the Torch browser is a trojan, this sounds like a rash statement & FUD to me.
