Streamline media downloads without extra extensions

Torch is a web browser app. It is a free, media-focused web browser built on the Chromium codebase that feels instantly familiar to anyone who has used Chrome. Right from the start, you’ll notice its clean, streamlined interface—tabs, bookmarks bar, and settings menus look almost identical to Chrome’s.  

What sets Torch apart are its integrated media tools, designed specifically for users who spend most of their time downloading and playing audio and video content. When you land on a page with a video, the Media Grabber button lights up.  

Navigate a familiar chromium interface 

One click in Torch, and the file begins downloading directly to your computer without needing any extensions. Once downloaded, you can play the file immediately using Torch Player, which supports virtually every common audio and video format out of the box. If you regularly use torrents, Torch Torrent is built into the browser so you never have to switch to a separate client.  

Simply open a torrent link, and the download proceeds just like it would in a standalone torrent application. In addition to these download utilities, it includes a music player called Torch Music. By clicking the music icon, a side panel slides out, giving you instant access to thousands of songs from artists around the globe. You can create playlists, save favorites, and even share them with friends via social media.  

Sharing web pages, images, or videos to Facebook and Twitter is also effortless: click the integrated share button next to the address bar, choose your platform, and the content is posted without you needing to open a separate tab. The Download Accelerator further enhances performance by breaking up large files into smaller segments. However, it won’t work because it is not fully compatible with the Chrome extension ecosystem.  

Maintain a lightweight browsing experience 

Torch offers a familiar chromium interface enhanced by media-focused tools that simplify downloading and playback. Enjoy one-click video grabbing, integrated torrent management, and a versatile media player without installing extra software. rapid file transfers are handled by a built-in accelerator, and social sharing is seamless. Occasional slowdowns occur when heavy media features run, but overall, you experience efficient browsing combined with powerful, purpose-built utilities for managing audio and video content.

Not worth the download!!!. This browser gets a much better rating than it deserves. It is rife with errors and problems. Stalls and crashes to often.

Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
