Bought Puffin Browser for IOS

I just bought Puffin Browser for iOS. It's currently on sale for $1.99 until the end of August. Puffin is one of the two top mobile browsers that can "play" flash content on iOS. The other one is Photon. Puffin is cheaper than Photon because it's a universal app. You have to buy the iPhone and iPad versions of Photon separately.

I bought Puffin primarily to watch Hulu videos on the go and for free without paying for a VPN. I wanted Hulu instead of Netflix because Netflix no longer has a large selection of anime because it lost most of the rights. Funimation awarded the rights to Hulu. In addition, you can watch Hulu for free. Netflix requires a paid monthly subscription.

I couldn't watch Hulu on my iPad because it's not available in my region, free viewing through the browser is not allowed on mobile devices, and most importantly, flash is not available on iOS. Puffin takes care of all of this. Puffin can "play" flash content by streaming it from its servers. Since its servers are in the U.S., it bypasses region restrictions. Lastly, since content is transmitted from its servers, there are no mobile device restrictions.
