Why does it open with Google Search? It's not what it was because it's poisoned by their own activities and it's privacy busting.
The Toolbar, especially URL, should optionally be at the top. There is no question of doing other than page turns one handed on most eink. Phone shaped ones are very rare.
Does it actually paginate a web page like the browser on the Kindle DX and DXG? I gave up before getting that far. Unless it converts scrolling to pages there is no point?
Does it freeze animated gif and autoplay video at the first frame?

Hi, glad you tried it and had some feedbacks.
I admit, the setting UIs are not perfect. Still trying to improve it.
I also have Boyue likebook mars; and found the toolbar or menu icons are just fine for me. In fact, I used relative size for icons, so the physical icon size are all the same across different devices. You can check the photo here:

As for Google Search, you can always replace it to your preference in Settings -> Advanced -> Search Engine.
About the toolbar with URL, now it only positioned at the bottom, maybe later on I will add an option to allow users to place it on top, although I think it's harder to use in that way. On toolbar, I also put so many functions that are quite useful for content browsing (change font to bold, change font sizes, reader mode, enable touch page-turn feature); so that's why I still keep it in the bottom. It's not only for one-hand usage.
Kindle DX, it's a device so long ago; I can't remember how it worked in its browser (although I also owned one as well, but due to battery broken, I can't use it anymore). Too bad that you haven't tried this far. The touch page-turn feature is right on the toolbar, once you enable it, you'll see how it works.
In the end, it does not do anything to freeze animated gif nor autoplay video. If you found some websites that this browser can't function well, please comment the url here. I will try to debug what went wrong, and see if I can fix it.
Thanks for trying it and give these precious feedback. I'll keep improving it.
