Is there a reason to trudst this site more than all the other apk download sites out there? I am always very wary of these sites for my phone where it is more difficult to have it scanned as well.

Es file explorer
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I don't know if you heard, but ES was recently sold to "Cheeta mobile", who are notorious for buying popular apps and filling them with spam.

Get FX file explorer (free) or Solid Explorer (paid)

Both have the same features, and are far prettier to boot,.

ES File Explorer is actually independent of Cheetah Mobile. They may have taken a page out of CM's book and added bloatware, but they are not owned by CM. (you may be getting confused with QuickPic)
The PRO version of ES takes out the bloat and its still a great app.

Seems i was a bit confused.Paying helps remove the bloat.

Though if you are already paying for a file manager, have you compared it with Solid Explorer?

Thanks for that link.. I definitely experienced that exactly.

I tried other free apps before I ended up "paying" for ES File Explorer Pro. What's your take on the comparison?

I only paid for Solid Explorer 2, and never bothered going back. I does everything I need it to.

I dont have root yet though, so we'll see then how the root-specific features work.

Instead of the app I just made A chrome shortcut. Go to Facebook. Com press options in chrome and add to home screen.

Theres a few good sites for info on it.
What buffers, the add on links or the app itself?

It all depends on wifi quality and the add on you're using.
I never really had any issues with most good streams.
