This is really nice. I've tried all the popular browsers and this is one of my favs so far. Love the reading mode. You are writing your own too, it looks like, and not using readability etc.

Minor bug.. When using Google image search,the page automatically scroll to bottom by itself. Turning off transparent nav bar fixed it. Go figure.

With gawker.com articles, reading more gives a title and nothing else. Gawker and its sister sites io9 Jezebel deadspin all use same page structure which seems to give mobilizers a lot of probldms, so it's not just javelin.

requests...

0/ my number one, I mean zero, request is night mode for browsing. I don't mean just darken the screen, which I can do myself by adjusting brightness, but night mode like reading mode does it, with white text on black or dark background. not sure how you'd do that, but I guess that's why you're the Dev and I'm not [emoji1]

1/ I second being able to turn off sprint icon and use space for something else, like bookmarks or share. and start page showing most frequently/recently visited pages.

2/ history pane is hard to read with white on light blue colors. please use darker blue.

3/ remember navigation for tabs. what I mean is, say I go to nytimes, then sports, then NBA, then pick an article. then I close javelin or it gets killed. I reopen javelin and it reopens the tab with the article. but it forgets about the pages before so if I hit back, it closes the tab instead of going back to NBA as expected.

thanks much!!!

Stack crashes randomly after a few seconds when opening it after Javelin finished loading the site

[Android Apps and Games] RASTAVIPER:
Yeap it does this quite often to me also in random sites.

Probably it has some ram problem, cause I notice it to draw a lot of ram before crashing.

Issue: long press on image contained inside a link does not give option to save image. It treats it as a link.

Example. Google something. Click Images to search image. Select one of image result to expand it. You will not be able to save that image with long press menu. You have to click view image, if the image is still there on original page.

[Android Apps and Games] MGREX:
Great work OP, do you have a repo for this?

Also can we edit the adblock lists or its locked to easylist?
[Android Apps and Games] RASTAVIPER:
Nice redesign at new version, but still can't open correct some links through other pages.

Just loads empty page and have to press reload to load it correctly.

Also Ram consumption is a disaster. It takes 300mb in a few moments with only 3 tabs open.

[Android Apps and Games] Artelier:
Excellent browser. Been using it for a few weeks before I stumbled into the thread.

Question: the latest version changes how tabs are displayed, in a very nice UI, but gestures to switch between tabs are no longer enabled? Is that correct? I used that quite a bit previously.
[Android Apps and Games] crazymika:
Download Problem

Don't know why but if I want to download file from this site (Dorimanx LG G2 Kernel)

It keep failure when started. I have to install other browser just to download kernel from this site.

Is that site use any function not supported yet or there's other reasons?

Otherwise, this browser works so well!

Thanks

Does anyone know how to enable the tab bar at the top of url bar? And also how to enable tab gestures. I'm running it on HTC One M8 if that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Frow now on I can only use 3 gestures while using Stack mode. :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] karanfire123:
So are there no gestures now in normal browser?
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
I don't find them any more...
[Android Apps and Games] Locheed:
Gestures are removed.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Do u know why?
[Android Apps and Games] Locheed:
That slidebar replaced the need of gestures. You can do everything there. It is still debated change and there are requests made to bring it back. We shall see it...
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Swiping to the top of the screen to close a tab was handy and faster IMO.
[Android Apps and Games] Locheed:
Yep. Now you need first open slidebar and then swipe it. Of course you might be on a bookmarks tab and need to switch it to tabs first. :)
[Android Apps and Games] xperiaforme:
I really miss tabs on top. They are so hidden now. So much browsing now just to get to a tab. I thought this browser was supposed to simplify things not make it harder to browse.
[Android Apps and Games] Optimissimus99:
Awesome Browser. Loads pages very fast. Awesome design, buyed pro immedialy, But: On my tegra 3 it is very laggy. On my tablet (MTK 6589) it is very fluid. I hope you can increase smoothness on t3 devices. Because Lightning runs very well on tablet. Phone is an Optimus 4XHD (T3 1.5GHz , 1GB of RAM)
[Android Apps and Games] fer2503:
i did a factory reset on the phone but i saved the file sdcard/javelin/javelin_bookmarks. i try to move it in the same folder after wipe but i can't see my bookmarks. Any solution?
[Android Apps and Games] RASTAVIPER:
Do you also have crazy Ram drain with Javelin 4.1.3?

Only by opening a few tabs, I lose immediately like 250-350mb of Ram.

Only for this reason I can't make Javelin my default browser.

[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
133Mb with 3 tabs here. FYI v4.1.4 is available.
[Android Apps and Games] robgee789:
Hey mateim loving this browser it's fast and looks great but I have 2 small issues, the first is the ad blocker misses some ads on some site but it does seem to get most though, and second when I synced my chrome bookmarks it put them all there in perfect order but right at the bottom there is lots of duplicate bookmarks over and over again but this is still my favourite browser
[Android Apps and Games] RASTAVIPER:
So I made a comparison with Lightning Browser by opening this link with both browsers.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.battlelancer.seriesguide

Lightning needed 200mb

Javelin needed 320mb at first and then stopped at 260mb

Can you try also?

[Android Apps and Games] robgee789:
my problem with lightning is that you cant import or sync your desktop bookmarks

Version for Android devices was released in November.

Available on official website.
[Android Apps and Games] talalalal:
A great start. I think this browser has the opportunity to make waves. A personal gripe that prevents me from using it is that I can't get it to run in full screen mode (maybe I'm doing something wrong?). I force fullscreen on my phone using gmd. Other apps fill the screen but javelin leaves an empty bar on top (image attached). Can you please suggest a solution?

A second feature I think could really distinguish Javelin from the masses of browser apps would be an option to move the search/address bar and navigation controls to the bottom of the screen (and have them rise above the keyboard when typing). As we trend towards larger phones it's inconvenient to reach up to the top of the screen to enter a search. Have spoken to a number of people who would second this feature request, supply and you've got yourself a winner.
[Android Apps and Games] Wh1t3Rose:
I used to love this browser but it now just slaughters my battery. GSAM Reports 60% usage with just using Google in Javelin. That's crazy

Importing bookmarks

Hi guys,

Do you know how I can import my chrome bookmarks to Javelin? I tried the sync and nothing seems to happen...

I have recently downloaded it as a rival to Chrome

My Chrome bookmarks are only in my mobile bookmarks on Z1 Compact as I don't use the desktop version which is most likely the issue

Any insight would be useful as I don't fancy manually doing it and then delete if I start to prefer Chrome later on

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] nizarmah99:
Impressive! This might be a firefox chrome opera competitor really. I find the interface really easy to use and neatly organized! Great job! :D
[Android Apps and Games] CrashTestDroid:
Problem with the latest version: everybody who bought it lost the purchase, it's acting like we need to buy it again. Feedback from TONS of users says the same. Spirit mode is missing too.

I'd love to know what is going on here.

Another request; would it be possible to add the functionality when a double-tap on a block of text will zoom to fit the width of said block?
[Android Apps and Games] android404:
interesting.
[Android Apps and Games] android404:
Cool browser. May i suggest something? It has only one gesture and i think it should have more. Naked browser has about 20 gestures. In naked browser you can control everything using gestures. Maybe you contact the person who developed naked browser and ask him how he managed to implement 20 times as many gestures? Or simply copy his work since it's open source. And while you talk to him you can ask him what he did to make naked browser as blazing fast as it is. I really hope you can make your browser just as fast.

You did a great job in creating this browser but there's room for improvement and I'm sure you will keep improving it.

I also do miss this feature a lot. It is a basic feature every browser needs to have.

Doesn't feel any friendlier chrome. I still prefer AOSP browser pie control.

i still need reach all the way up to address bar,

still need to reach all the way up to close a tab,

But my keyboard is always at the bottom.

worst still i need 2 finger to "fast switch" tab, so i suppose to hold it one hand and use another to switch tab?

On Android 2.3.3 this bug is still show. In normal mode, fullscreen and after load page too
[Android Apps and Games] javelinbrowser:
Ok I'll load up an emulator to test this :)

I just spent the entire day overhauling the Reading mode. Now it works KICK-BUTT!

Also fixed the bug where Adblock is being oversensitive and blocking some sites such as YouTube.

And I just added immersive mode with transparent navigation bar and status bar (KITKAT only). And damn. It looks GREAT!

I have quite a few more TODOs to complete, I hope to release something tonight or tomorrow!﻿

PS: I need 10 posts to post links and images. But be sure I'll do that once I reach my requisite post count :)

PSS: You guys are great! Keep the feedback coming!

PSSS: I love the pie control too, if you get what I mean :) It'll come.
[Android Apps and Games] javelinbrowser:
2.1.0 released!

Just published a significant update (v2.1.0). Here's what's changed:

- New icon!

- Reading mode now 10X better! (Overhauled engine)

- (KitKat) Transparent navigation/status bars with Immersion mode

- Smarter AdBlock (Some sites like YouTube were previously not working very well on AdBlock, now they are working perfect)

- Haptic feedback on long press events

- Bookmark now scrolls properly

- Plenty of bug/crash/tiny additions/fixes/etc

It should be live in the store in 1 hour's time :)﻿
[Android Apps and Games] Amisuta:
Not sure if this is a bad question, but where are the forward/back buttons, if there are any?
[Android Apps and Games] persianrisk:
I love it so far will go pro by the next version. But my question is, how do you clear history in this browser?
[Android Apps and Games] jjjameson:
Great browser!!! Thank you I loved it!!
[Android Apps and Games] sanstorm:
Looking good bro!

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] javelinbrowser:
Press your back button for going back. As for forward, I'm still trying to figure out how to put it into the UI intuitively and yet non-obtrusively. Understand that it's quite a smaller use case. But I heard enough feedback on this to do something about it.
[Android Apps and Games] Amisuta:
If this is possible, could you implement a two-finger swipe from either side to go forward and back? It would be different than a regular two-finger swipe to switch tabs.
[Android Apps and Games] javelinbrowser:
That was the original implementation, however it conflicted with websites that used overscroll as a gesture (imgur.com for one). This is why I ended up with 2 finger swipes :)
[Android Apps and Games] Kalaidos:
Downloaded and now testing. Ill give feedback later on :D

[Android Apps and Games] stevekind:
Comment, please?!

Ignoring this issue won't make it go away...
[Android Apps and Games] javelinbrowser:
Here are the facts on emails:

- They are tied to your account type. If you upgrade to Pro, all devices logged in using your Google mail will automatically be upgraded.

- Bookmark sync is coming to Javelin, and again, they are tied to your Google email.

- You can accept gifts of Javelin Pro from me or your friends VIA emails as well.

- Tying a VPN service to an account.

In other words, emails are your identify to identify you as a user. That's about it :) In fact, the app is not Proguarded (so I can debug crash reports easier), feel free to look at the disassembled Java code.

I'll be happy to share more if you want. Even the code bits where I make ReST API calls back to the server in registering a Pro account, parsing a webpage for Readability, VPN, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] javelinbrowser:
I am told by the mod to ignore him. He is the author of Naked Browser and has been doing this constantly. If I'm not wrong he has 3-4 posts already deleted by the mods. Feel free to email the mods to find out more.

In fact, 2 month back when I posted in on Reddit, he did the very same, except his allegation was for stealing code. Here are some of his very abusive quotes.

nakedbrowse on Reddit

nakedbrowse on Reddit

He was called out for it repeatedly for #1, being another Browser author and #2, putting down another Browser for who-knows-what objectives. He lated deleted had his Reddit account banned.

He is also now warned for being abusive on XDA, see link here

That's it. These are not related to Javelin browser but I think it is best that the facts are clear.

I am also the author of a Censorship bypass Chrome extensions for Singapore and UK which are pretty popular, google them for news coverage on me. I have been doing this for the past 2 years. I hope my track record as an indie developer speaks for itself.
[Android Apps and Games] amazing 3D:
So far so good this browser looks so delicate and fast, just an idea how about improving its download manager like replacing dead or expired links with new or fresh links. Thank u dev for this awesome work, I appreciate ur hard work and 2 years dedication

English is not my mother language so, sorry for any misunderstanding.

Keep up the good work Boss

[Android Apps and Games] javelinbrowser:
Thanks, no worries. A download manager is definitely in the TODO list, but a little further down as is compared to more high-priority features. Right now, I'm working on Bookmarks and Autocompletion.

Where are you from? Will you be keen in helping to translate the app to your native language?
[Android Apps and Games] stevekind:
Ok, thank you for your answer. Still,

1) Why are users reporting emails beeing sent to all (not only Gmail!) mail addresses stored on their devices, and

2) why are you DELETING posts asking that exact question???
[Android Apps and Games] persianrisk:
How to clear history?
[Android Apps and Games] javelinbrowser:
It is in Advance Settings
[Android Apps and Games] vanessaem:
1) The users you speak of is one person.

2) The OP doesn't have the power to delete posts. I do and posts that are there just to rile people up and attack will be removed.

There is a proper way on this site to handle issues and some people refuse to use them. It's fine to ask questions of the developer because you all have that right but no one has the right to troll and/spam the threads of others.
[Android Apps and Games] stevekind:
Thank you for your answer.

1) True, one person within this thread... but what about reddit (the referece link that has been removed)?

2) Privacy and the security of our personal data is a strong need these days, as surely many here on xda would second. Natively (almost), when dealing with permisson/data sensitive apps like a browser and doubt arises, I think it is fair to ask those questions and point others to the source of doubt, so they can make up their own mind.

Also, I think that one (1) post asking a question usually is neither trolling nor spaming... Since our opinions seem to differ in this, let me apologize to you. It was not in my intention to do either.

Let me apologize to the OP as well for blaming him for my removed posting. That was obviously my bad.
[Android Apps and Games] vanessaem:
Please reread my second point.

Brought to you live from my N5
[Android Apps and Games] stevekind:
Dear javelinbrowser,

Thank you for your openness. I am truely sorry for letting myself be fooled. Me dragging this to the surface once more must have been anoying for you and fighting a troll of that proportion can be strenght draining even without others (like myself) insisting.

For a good thing, now cards are on the table and this should give you a boost in user trust here on xda (at least it worked for me...). Transparency is the way!

I was not aware of your work before javelin, so I had no means to let your reputation influence my opinion. My apologies again. I hope there is no offence taken.

Keep up your great work on javelin browser,

I will follow with great interest.
[Android Apps and Games] persianrisk:
I swear I am not trying to pull your leg but where in advanced settings? I see many options but none for clearing history or privacy settings
[Android Apps and Games] stevekind:
Thanks for re-re-editing the post in question.

In my answer on 2) I was referring to the lines I wrote beenig removed (now they are back :good:). As I understand it, my lines had been the tragic victims in a minor case of "collateral damage" when removing the troll post and my quote of it. I did not have the knowledge I have now after it has been made clear by javelinbrowser what was going on. Ignoring a troll is a legit meassure, but if it happens in a new environment (i.e. xda forum) for the first time, maybe transparency might be a better way, esp. if there´s a history too it.

Sorry again for the hassle, I was just curious.
[Android Apps and Games] persianrisk:
My mistake i get it as i close the browser so the history is cleared or at least no history is kept at all. Sorry i guts that's one if the great purposes of this browser, i like it

;)
[Android Apps and Games] bangishotyou:
Amazing!

Just wanted to say I came across this on the Portal, installed the regular version and the Incognito one. Started playing with both, really dig the the look and feel of the browser. Bought the Pro version after only playing with it for a few minutes, seemed like a worthwhile purchase/investment in the future development of the app.

Really nice app, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] lost101:
In v2.1.0, immersion mode, status bar is replaced with black space and browser only fully fills screen when I scroll down webpage. Unsure if this is unique to my setup. Anyone else observe this behaviour?
[Android Apps and Games] javelinbrowser:
The black status bar is there when the tabs are shown because that's the only way it looks good. Every other way I tried makes it look weird. But this is just a start, I'm always experimenting with the looks.

Example:

Not by me though, by another user like yourself. If you will like to be involved in the development of the app, check out https://plus.google.com/communities/106470412179443137104 for Javelin's development community. There are alot of people there contributing ideas, feedback, bugs, design suggestions, translation offers, etc.

Can this browser handle flash content? and does it have any theming/ night mode?
[Android Apps and Games] persianrisk:
So my friend please answer my question am I right about what I said regarding history or privacy settings in my previous post?
[Android Apps and Games] SlimFatso:
I've found a little bug. Whenever I try to download something from TPB it shows me the thing on the picture. Everything else is working perfect and thank you for this browser, love it ^^

Edit:

I have a suggestion about showing tabs and action bar when you're in the middle of a page. Make it show and hide if the user starts scrolling up and down fast. Sorry if that sounded weird, English is not my mother language. Ohh and also I can translate to Bulgarian if you want.
[Android Apps and Games] javelinbrowser:
Can you PM me with your email so I can contact you with regards on translation?
