Early versions of the browser have received mixed reviews, with some praising its interesting feature combination while others pointed to the lack of add-on support (an issue which has been resolved in newer versions). Reviews of Torch have evolved over time, as the browser continued to add features and functionality. The release updated the Chromium engine used by Torch and introduced an embedded player to stream torrents downloaded before the download is completed. A user's customized page is visible to him/herself and to anyone visiting the original user's page from another Torch browser if the original user allows it. Users can customize these themes or create their own. The release included the ability to customize the look and feel of users' Facebook pages using pre-set themes. Torch's ability to download Instagram videos was featured on CNET's Tekzilla Daily.
The release included the ability to download Instagram and Vine videos in a single click. Torch Music is integrated directly into Torch Browser, which includes an embedded controller to control music from any browser tab. Users can easily find and stream music videos, create playlists, and follow their Facebook friends’ musical choices. The same release also introduced Torch Music, a free social music discovery service that organizes music videos available on YouTube in a user-friendly interface. On June 18, 2013, Torch announced a major release for Mac and Windows that included an integrated download accelerator. Users can directly share sites, videos, audio and search results with their Facebook and Twitter accounts.
The built-in BitTorrent client allows users to download torrent files. Torrent site The Pirate Bay has run paid endorsements for Torch on their website. On June 18, 2013, Torch announced that it had surpassed ten million active users.
Torch is based on the Chromium source code and is compatible with all add-ons and extensions available in the Chrome store. The browser handles common Internet-related tasks such as displaying websites, sharing websites via social networks, downloading torrents, accelerating downloads and grabbing online media, all directly from the browser. As of November 2022, downloads for Torch are no longer available, and upon clicking the download button, users are redirected to the Torch Search extension on the Chrome Web Store. Torch was a Chromium-based web browser and Internet suite developed by the North Carolina–based Torch Media. 30 September 2020 2 years ago ( 30 September 2020)Įnglish, French, Spanish, Turkish, Italian, Portuguese, German
