These days, there has been a lot of push from the government and banks to teach security best practices to the common internet users in India. Looking at the website, I'm curious why is a browser serving "Tailor Made Content?"

> Leave the generic content on the generic browsers. Get that VIP experience with tailored content that truly matters to you.

By the way, this is just Android with no immediate Desktop/iOS versions. So, unfortunately, I cannot try out the browser. The thing with India is that we skipped the desktop/computer era and frog-jumped into the fiery bosom of the Internet with all the bad actors baked in. Everyone is left to learn on the job and fend for themselves.

Here is a website that is serving as an example to avoid scams - http://winlotterywin.in (this is everywhere these days and this one is not harmful).

you just said "this site is not harmful" after other reasonable words, yet.. How can that be verified? there is no certificate (not a problem to me) but, anything with gambling in the name is almost certainly tracking at least.. if not worse. Gambling is a club for predators.. clicking on a site is an invitation to walk into the living room with predators..

The website is indeed an advertised examples put up by these common effort called out in banners, advertisements, call-outs, etc to - not click that kind of a website or links. Of course there will be curious people (including me) that will click or type in the website to see what is it. I did and the website is indeed there but the content tell you that this is indeed a sample website, hence this example being just that -- an example.
