Frost Android

Minimalist Facebook client based on the social network's web version

One of the most frequent criticisms of the official Facebook app is that it uses up a lot of resources, both in terms of battery and, among other things, the space that it takes up. Fortunately, there are alternatives that range from Facebook Lite, the lightweight version developed by Meta, to other unofficial versions, such as Facebook Frost.

A Facebook client based on its web version

This app needs less than 5 MB to be installed and function, unlike the official app, which needs Megas upon Megas of cache. What it does is encapsulate the web version of the social network so that it offers us everything we need for basic Facebook browsing: posting, leaving comments, playing content, browsing our feed, viewing friends' profiles...

It also stands out for having an even more elegant design than the official app, while offering us features such as the following, some of which are pretty handy:

• No ads.
• Plays videos in a floating window.
• Smooth functioning.
• Minimalist, intuitive design.
• Supports multiple accounts.
• Overlaid browser for switching between visiting links and Facebook browsing.
• Can be customized using themes.

Requirements and additional information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 5.0.
• The installation of the app by means of the APK file requires the activation of the "Unknown sources" option within Settings>Applications.
