The official Windows 8 StumbleUpon app lets you explore online content matching with your precise interest. By using this StumbleUpon Windows 8 app, you can easily modify your preferences and receive automatic suggestions and recommendations. It is perhaps one of the best Windows 8 apps for finding interesting webpages, videos, and photos across numerous well-defined categories.

It must be noted that StumbleUpon is not a search engine and it operates in a completely different manner. Most of the pages that are shown to you are pipe-lined and processed using special algorithms where human feedback plays a major role. To ensure that you get nothing, but the best.
