Downloaded it to check if it could replace my secondary browser I currently use.

One small thing I noticed is, that you cannot have incognito tabs.

There is one bug that is crashing the app, here is how to reproduce it:
Open settings, try to scroll with your beginning touch of the swipe on either one of the ListPickers. App crashed 3 out of 4 times trying.

You should look into setting
Code:
e.Handled =true;
in "Application_UnhandledException" in App.xaml.cs.
This would prevent the app from crashing on minor bugs that the user would not even notice.
I think I encountered the same bug in one of my apps. No way to catch it, since it's caused by the wptoolkit.
(Though you might also want to log these errors to make sure there are no other unhandled exceptions crashing your app, that can be prevented by you)

Thank you so much!

Seems good so far, but I can't really judge a browser with only a few minutes usage. I'll use it for a few days and get back to you, if I find things that I really like/don't like/are missing compared to other browsers.

One thing I noticed though that would probably cause some bad ratings is, that I could not find a feedback or contact the developer button. That will cause users to give a lower rating when they have to report a problem via reviews/ratings. You will probably still receive some of those but most users with problems will use a feedback button and write you an email when they have a problem if you provide the means. This also gives you the possibility to respond to such questions/problem reports/feature requests.
You will receive feedback from stupid users that are simply to dump to find/use a feature, but this way you can respond and avoid an unneccesary bad rating.
