I confirm that there is this forum, not very much populated indeed but quickly growing based on the number of views of the thread for which I'm the OP. I quickly received an answer by someone named MindArchr (:D:D:D) who unfortunately couldn't help because he doesn't have kitkat on his device.

My question was: in kitkat I'm not able to view embedded clips as flash player doesn't work anymore. Any workaround to solve this ? A nice member of that forum suggested to use "PC" as user agent but it didn't work for me. Any experience out there ?
[General Topics] yahanna:
When I surf the net on Habit, page loads between websites flash in white, which is normal. But since I use a userscript to darken websites, the contrasting white page flashes hurt my eyes.

Is there a userscript to darken the white page loads between websites to use in Habit?
[General Topics] the gladiator:
I'm running KitKat 4.4.4. In my settings-> content the option "Enable plugins" highlighted in the attachment doesn't appear for me. Is it the same for you (running KitKat) or is it only me ?

[General Topics] imakul8:

[General Topics] the gladiator:
I received the notification for the new post and I was hoping in someone answering my request...I was disappointed...

imakulate, would you mind to help me just a moment in the post previous yours before asking help ??? :D:D:D
[General Topics] imakul8:
If I could have helped you I would have already. I don't even know about the script to darken websites let alone how how to darken the white flash between web pages loading. This will be my first user script experience if you help me. :)
[General Topics] the gladiator:
I don't want to insist too much but I'm sure you can help me and I believe I'm not receiving support because my question is unclear. Let me try to be more direct in rewarding it.

If you have Android KitKat (and you, imakulate, you should have it, based on your signature), please:

- go to Habit browser settings -> content submenu

- do you see the option underlined in the attachment ?

Thanks a lot: you definitely solved my doubts. (I'm trying to find a way to play flash player videos embedded in web pages)

Too soon and Habit browser is too nice to give up and abandon it. Of course I cannot stay with a browser that force me to open youtube to see ANY embedded video there is in the page I'm visiting.

how does it compare to chrome?
[General Topics] the gladiator:
Just to avoid to leave the question without any answer at all:

PROs

In my experience Habit is as stable as Chrome, muuuuch more customizable, less footprint in the memory (on my smartphone 8 Mb vs 80 Mb and I don't have any bookmark), more speed

CON

lack of sync with (any) desktop browser
[General Topics] d00lz:
Been using it for a few hours now and honestly I don't see much difference between other browsers out there. :confused:.

I never understood the browser competition game, either a browser runs well in memory, or it doesn't. Extra features are trivial in my eyes. Whatever footprint browsers create in memory are nothing if you have an up to date smart phone.
[General Topics] sancho_panzer:
Obviously you didn't use it for advanced options. Out of the box is a "normal" yet powerful browser but after tuning it there's no other like it. The few hours you mentioned are just for setting everything to the way you want...

I could enumerate almost a dozen of features you can't find in any Android browser, even on some desktop ones, but if you're really interested you have to find it yourself.

You must need to be a hard user to take all advantages from Habit.

Habit Browser

Having the navigation bar and the entry area on the bottom of the screen is brilliant. Why do so many other browsers put this out of reach on the top of the screen? Some even hide the back button altogether. That's just part of what makes this awesome. As long as websites can be rendered by it, I plan to continue using it.
[General Topics] sancho_panzer:
Exactly, and that makes even more sense on tablets. Unfortunately other devs still think about their browsers like a desktop copy, without considering ergonomics at all.

[General Topics] yahanna:
Could you guys email the dev of Habit about changing the color of the white flash before the page loads? It hurts my eyes when I use Habit and in between pages, theres a white flash. The flash color should be changed to black or dark grey.

I emailed the dev 5 times about this. But he doesnt comply. So I urge you guys to seriously email him. I'm sure if enough complaints about this come through that he'll fix this.
[General Topics] the gladiator:
you've touched the point: this browser is great but it totally lacks about support. The dev doesn't answer and the browser is not popular enough to have support from forums. It's something that (I guess) english speaking people call "catch 22 situation" :D :D :D
[General Topics] yahanna:
Yeah very true. Plus, the dev is japanese so you know that culture is somewhat reluctant to helping americans.
[General Topics] the gladiator:
May be is more a language barrier, english doesn't help (as doesn't help me either).

A very good browser and for such a small size it has many features.
[General Topics] imahsen:
You can't say it's best, but overall this is good / average browser. My vote with UC Browser.
[General Topics] Bill720:
It's different now

It certainly was the best browser. The interface is still top-notch and completely customizable, but it relies on the built-in Android web rendering engine, which many web developers are no longer accounting for when they build webpages, so a lot of things don't render right. It's too bad; if this thing were to finally be released with a supported rendering engine of its own, it would be an unbeatable browser.

[General Topics] Venryx:
Ugh!

Been trying this browser for a few hours, and am astounded by how much control it gives you! I absolutely love tinkering and getting to set things up just right.

But... I'm having one super-annoying issue! The save-tabs feature is unreliable... if you have 5 tabs open, then exit, then reopen the app *while only looking at one of the saved tabs*, all the other tabs are lost once you exit again.

This is the one major issue I'm having with the browser. It would be my favorite, but because of this one issue I can't use it as my main browser!

I sent a feedback email, and posted a review mentioning it... hopefully it gets seen/fixed soon, cause I really want to use it for general browsing. (I often have lots of tabs, so the unreliable saving is a huge issue currently)

[General Topics] Tore Karlsen:
Bad news: Iʼve waded through the entire settings and found no setting that should be capable of causing this behavior.

A feature that would save the page for offline use could make sense, but doesnʼt seen to exist. Besides, it would only make sense if the file actually is accessible.

I think you may have found a bug.

In software this configurable, itʼs impossible for the developer to test all possible combinations, and moving things around a little may create or solve problems.

You could try to place the "Save to read it later" button somewhere else.

Hi,

I have exact the same behaviour and cannot isolate the cause. :( I've reset Habit to factory settings, I've installed it on pure CM13 as well as on a stock 5.1.1 (also w/o Xposed etc.). All the time same behaviour (screenshot above). BUT, I have a friend, where is works. He uses Samsung stock 4.4.4.

[General Topics] mp107:
Habit Browser has far more customizable UI than Firefox. In Mozilla's browser I am able to change only the theme but the overall structure of the UI remains the same. With Habit Browser I can set more or less every detail of UI. For example I am able to set address bar to bottom side whereas in Firefox I am unable to do that.
[General Topics] Bill720:
Firefox alternative.

Also, Habit formerly made use of Android's excellent built-in WebKit engine, which, by the time it reached maturity, was one of the best and fastest web browsers on Android. Unfortunately, it was ditched in favor of Chrome, so if you use Habit today, you're basically using the Chrome-based WebView system, complete with all of the weird font scaling and frustrating zooming. May as well just use Chrome.
[General Topics] Tore Karlsen:
It also has a huge amount of controls that can be made easily accessible. These are some of my favorites:

• JavaScript on/off

• Negative rendering on/off

• Pictures on/off

• Pop-ups on/off

• Cookies on/off

• AdBlock on/off

• User agent of current tab

• History within current tab

• Send page to other app

• Duplicate tab

• Individual bookmarks

Thereʼs about hundred controls available to place anywhere in the UI.

Several settings can be set per URL with wildcards, like:

• User agent

• JavaScript

• Cookies

• Pop-ups

• AdBlock

• Location access

• Save password

And more.

Bookmarklets are also supported. This makes it easy to get rid of annoyances like horrible font and missing contrast.

No other browser, except the PC Firefox with 100 extensions, gives the user this amount of control.

Is there any way to set cache size and location?

In Opera Mobile 12 I have set cache size to ~1GB (and configured some other parameters such as images/documents expiry time etc.) in order to reduce redundant downloads of images and using cached versions instead. Now it works pretty well even using 2G network but this browser feels more and more outdated and I am looking for a decent successor. I would like to achieve the same (or at least close to) result using Habit Browser.

Also, is it possible to workaround the delay related to web fonts handling - waiting for those fonts to be downloaded and displaying text using them only after that.

I can see that after manual stopping loading the page text shows up almost immediately so it is only hidden until the web fonts will be fully downloaded.

This (in my opinion) issue affects me in many browsers both on PC and mobile devices.

So, is it possible to disable web fonts at all or workaround this bug in some other way (user script?)?

Unfortunately, blocking .woff, .ttf and .otf files in built-in blacklist does not help (they are blocked indeed - the counter increments).
