Could editors with the technical expertise insert a relevant sentence into this article that better explains that Puffin Browser acts as some form of proxy and that some sites, such as Wikipedia itself, prevent logged in users from making edits? The relevant citation appears to be here.
Having just been scared witless by receipt of a 3-year block warning (after logging in to my user account on a device using Puffin browser), it might be helpful if the page on the browser more clearly explained its way of operating. I'm not suggesting this page should give help to users who receive blocking messages, but a little more explanation of how Puffin Browser operates might help some users understand how it affects their user experience on websites.
As an aside, I've left feedback on how Wikipedia leaves blocking messages for users of open or anonymizing proxies here. Nick Moyes ( talk) 02:03, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Dear editor, thanks for your friendly reminder. I have removed the external links, register an user account, and add necessary data to COI info.
The "Products" section of current Puffin Browser wiki page lists only a single item. However, Puffin Browser is a generic name of CloudMosa's product family. The single listed item can't represent the whole product family. To make the content of "Products" section closer to the truth, I propose following update as draft. Please kindly review my update. Thank you!

Dear Mr. Spintendo, thanks to your kind help and professional advise.
I studied the MOS:TABLE format, and found it's really a good idea to use table to present product section. In my previous draft, it's hard for me to show the comparison clearly by only description, and also difficult for readers to grasp the difference between them. Now, with the nicely formatted table, it's very easy to see the difference in visual.
Thanks again!
