Nice. I've been a Chrome user for some time and even just recently came across an increased allocated memory tweak that improves the chrome experience. This is still faster. And ad block. And duck duck go default search. And all the mountains of display options. I'm very impressed.

I'm also embarrassed, however, because I can't figure out how to display the pie menu. Do I need to set up a gesture for that?

Gave it a try and it's quite nice with dizzying numbers of options to try. However, text-reflow is still not in Opera's class.

I wonder why only Opera has text-reflow that works 99% of the time.
[General Topics] ikjadoon:
I agree. I used Opera for the longest time just for that reason.
[General Topics] MidnightHarvester:
It's perhaps one of the best browsers around when it comes to customization and desires. It does lack though. Try typing in tje search box with it here on XDA. You can't because the keyboard disappears as is the old days. Many browsers do this, but I've found Opera and Chrome to handle it correctly.

Saving a forum post only works with certain user agents as well. I can't remember which ones I tested last night but it was either a chrome or opera UA that disabled the save button on editing texts. I'm using the latest chrome beta desktop UA at the moment so hope foully it works.

Also we can't upload local files which is a known issue and being worked on. To sum my thoughts up, I use Habit the majority of the time and switch to chrome beta (which also rocks) when Habit won't cut it. Oh, I don't think Habit uses the GPU for page rendering. At least that's what a browser analyzer site said. Habit for score quite high though and I can't wait to see future updates... Speaking of we just had one today and looking for the changelog page now.
[General Topics] snovvman:
I agree that Habit is great, but on KitKat/4.4.x, sadly, the WebView/WebKit-based browser no longer supports remembering passwords. So far, I found that only Chrome, FireFox, and Opera for Android will remember passwords under KK.

to my own opnion it is too important to use one browser in every devices.

even in case of possibility of interchanging bookmarks ,history,etc ,it would be pretty time taking proccess.

plus i would ask you testers to share your exported settings file of your Habbit browser here.

going to have a try.thank you

[General Topics] baineteo:
I've been looking for a replacement for chrome for the longest time (ever since they changed the switch tab gesture). I used Next Browser for a little while, but it kept freezing and required frequent restarts. Tried opera and dolphin but didn't time them both (switching tabs took too many actions). I accidentally chances upon HB and I fell in love. I love the way we could customise almost everything on this browser. Now I've conducted my browser for optimised one handed usage and I'm so happy. Now if they only added the magnifying glass function like in chrome, when you tap on an area where there are 2 links, that would make this perfect!

Also, there are some options that don't seem to make a difference. For one, the address bar, bottom of bottom overlay does the same thing. And, the checking the "use Ui animation" doesn't change anything for me.. I'm using xperia z1 compact.

There's a work around for the lack of sync with Google Chrome : take advantage of the "Open in other app" feature. Just set it somewhere convenient and open the tab you wish to sync in chrome!

So what kind of great changes will I see from Habit Browser over FF or Chrome? I know FF likes to sit open in the background all the time, sucking up cpu processes.
[General Topics] yahanna:
There are no great changes. Habit doesnt use user sctipts. Its a broken browser. Use FF or Chrome instead. Theyre much better and faster than habit.

I am not a fan of the UI at all. Its not very polished and way too cluttered.
[General Topics] Cyclone15991:
Gonna try it and compare with the one I'm currently using; which is UC Browser

Edit: Tried Habit and I have to say I did not like the UI at all, in addition to the fact that it is not really faster than UC browser, guess I'm going back to the latter, and that's after trying Dolphin for a year or more

Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 running Phoenix Rom v18.8
[General Topics] snovvman:
What you would call "cluttered" is what makes this browser so unique and well-liked. While most people like the iOS-ish UIs [read: simple, lacking in tweakability, lacking in functional access, lacking in deep user control] and accept what the browser dev structured without the ability to tune it exactly the way one would want it, Habit is the "geek's browser", where it provides a heap of controls, tweaks, functional access, and allows one to make the browser behave exactly the way they want it.

To me, "polish" is exposing all possible controls and tweakability of a browser. Habit does this well. It is not for everyone. Just like not everyone wants to root and deeply customize their device--they rather use it as is. For those majority of the population [read: not geeky, not "truly" technical, don't know what ADB is lol], there are plenty of more "polished" and less "cluttered" 3rd-party browsers out there.....

I, for one, feel that Habit fills a sorely missing gap in the browser space. I just wished Habit would use its own framework so that it can remember passwords under KK.....

a few kindly advise.

hi [MENTION=4720565]ikjadoon[/MENTION] ..

thanks for very good app.. I love it and using about 6 month.. and donated.. I have a few kindly advise for your app.

1)please make it fast when first launch app,

2)make smooth and fast zoom when double tap.

3)add an option to "open in background tab on/off when using gesture" because it is annoying to opening another tab..

4)icon size is too small.. I am using 400DPi but nothing changed after an update which is including icon size fix.

5)it doesnt save and remember any password :S I always doing manuel entry.

6)and if there is an option to "display order to grid view" or small windows like speed dial, in the bookmarks , it will be great..

thanks in advance.
[General Topics] ikjadoon:
Hey! :) I'm glad you like the app. And, kudos for donating to an app you like. But, I'm not the developer. :(

If you want, you can send feedback to the developer by going to: Settings -> Advanced -> Send Feedback. It generates an email with the proper subject and version details.

text wrap

I don't know if I just don't see or there is no "Text wrap" (Yandex browser name) option, but it's very important for me (it resize font on shoutbox). If they'll add this option it's going to be the best browser for android. Right now 4/5
[General Topics] Bill720:
followup to "text wrap"

I don't know exactly where the option is or how it's labelled, but I know it's in the settings somewhere because I have it enabled :D.

I think it's under "content" - either "auto-fit pages" or "text auto reflow". Both are currently enabled on my copy.
[General Topics] Tengo1:
After disable "text auto reflow" option it works fine! I would never thought about it :D anyway thanks.

I was wondering if I could disable the wheelmenu when you swipe from left or right, instead of the wheel I want go back and forward like in safari.

I did this with gestures but not working that well, many accidental backs and forwards, it will work better from sides but there is the wheelmenu.

Is this possible?

Other thing i would like is that when i reach bottom or top from website the search-box pops up.

Also i would like to disable animated gifs or ads for that matter. They can be shown but not animate.

How do I keep tabs in the background from refreshing? After I open several tabs in the background, I put down my phone. After an hour, I open up Habit.

Hi, DriverSeat. I did this as you suggested and background tabs keep reloading when I go back. What do you suggest?
[General Topics] DriversSeat:
Yes it should, but maybe the app takes it anyway, reserves it for things like this, but i don't think so.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

Oh yeah i misunderstood the thing a bit, i was thinking of going back and forward on one tab. With other tabs reloading i don't know, i will look at settings, maybe i see something that could help.

I would like it if the creator would jump on XDA and help us a bit, i can't find much information about this app, maybe im overlooking something but the author has no website/forum?
[General Topics] yahanna:
Hi DriverSeat. Yeah I dont think the author has a forum or site either. Hes kinda weird in that you got to be on him when you want something fixed or he'll ignore it. Its japanese culture.

I emailed him about the white page preloads when you go to a site. Its a normal thing. But I want an option to preload in dark grey to match the dark grey background I got set up as a user script. I dont want to get blind from the bright white "flashes" everytime I go to a site and it alternates from white to grey.

Also, theres a problen with google images. When you click on an image to view it and scroll to the next image, it freezes. It occurs after you scroll a few times. This bug has to be fixed big time. Check it out and send him a complaint to add to my support. Thanks.

[General Topics] DriversSeat:
I tried to reproduce your tab thing, my phone doesn't do it, with 6 tabs open only one reloaded but that one is auto refreshing also on PC. Some websites want to refresh after a few minutes.

Do u have greenify running? That could clear memory or something like that.
[General Topics] yahanna:
Hi DriverSeat. Are you reproducing the issue correctly? Open up the 6 tabs again. Close Habit and run a couple of apps then put the phone down for a while. Open your phone after 30 minutes or so and open Habit. You'll see the tabs need to be reloaded.

Hi there, complete noob here.

I just fell in love with Habit Browser, despite its weird name.

I have been using Boat Browser for quite time, and I tried to replicate one of its many useful features with HB, but without success, so here goes my (silly) question: how do you customize the actions in the bar at the bottom (the bar where you can find bookmarks, menu etc.)?

I want to insert the "close tab" icon there, but I can't figure out how: I must be really dumb. :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance.
[General Topics] imakul8:
Settings, View, Action Toolbtoolbar, Item Settings.
[General Topics] MarioRos:
Thank you, imakulate.

That's the reason why I feel dumb. I tried what you suggest, to no avail.

I set some actions, but they don't appear in the action bar.

I made two screenshots, but the XDA forum doesn't allow me to post them, cause I'm under the "first 10 posts" threshold, so I have to attach them.

Edit: Ok, maybe now I get it. I thought that the first row would be the actions I would get.

Instead, I have to set the first column. The arrangement in rows is done in order to set special actions (long press, etc.).

I'm posting this cause maybe I'm not the only one who got confused by this kind of setting (at least, it's what I wish for in order to feel less dumb:laugh:)

If anyone has a Samsung S3, can you see if you're able to scroll through images in google with Habit? That is, go to google images and click an image. When a larger image pops up, try to scroll through a few images.

I'm not able to scroll through images in this way. After the 5th image, Habit freezes and the image disappears. On another phone, theres no issue. But I suspect that this could be a problem on the S3.

If any of you guys have an S3, please confirm that this is an issue. Thanks!
