[Android Apps and Games] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:
Love this app! Thanks for the work man! It took me 1 minute to get the donate version lol.....I have a question. I searched the thread but didn't find an answer. Is there anyway to import bookmarks from chrome?
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
Hi! Thank you for your support! Unfortunately we currently don't have a way to import bookmarks. This is a feature I need to add still.
[Android Apps and Games] Sigray:
Please change the icon, its horrible.

Anyway the app is fine, donated.
[Android Apps and Games] hackel:
So this is basically nothing more than a shell for the Android System Webview (actually Chrome itself in Android N+)? I have a hard time believing this could bring many real-world performance improvements over Chrome, which itself is already a rather light-weight shell. The vast majority of the memory usage is coming from the Webview. Have you done any actual performance measurements? Aside from syncing, what other features does this lack that could give any noticeable improvement?

The most important feature in any browser (aside from it being open source) is the ability to install standard extensions like uBlock, so I'll definitely be sticking with Firefox for now.
[Android Apps and Games] salmanfarisy:
I don't know about Android 7+ but I always disable Chrome in phone(s). There are browsers better than Chrome with more features even when they are all using the same Android Webview.

As for extension, there is no such thing like standard extensions. Extensions are browser specific. Ublock for example, it depends on ublock's developers to support Firefox only and not other browsers.
[Android Apps and Games] hackel:
That may be true, but the point of this particular browser is to have less features, not more, is it not? To be as lean/fast as possible? I'm not trying to defend Chrome here, just questioning the real advantage. Probably 95% of Chrome is actually the Android Webview. That's why they even have the same version numbers. Chrome, like Lucid, is just a lightweight shell around that. This point is driven home by the fact that in Android 7+, Android Webview is actually *disabled* and the any apps that use the Webview API are actually using it from the installed version of Chrome. I'm not sure what happens if you disable Chrome in that case--perhaps then the original Android Webview gets re-enabled.

That's not really true. Firefox supports the WebExtensions API that is mostly compatible with Chrome's Blink. That allows you to write extensions that work on both browsers. Much of the code in uBlock is actually the same between the Firefox and Chrome versions. This is what is was referring to, even if it's not technically a standard yet, we're getting there. Unfortunately, browsers that use Android Webview (instead of, say, a custom-compiled Chromium runtime), are still not able to install these kinds of extensions.
[Android Apps and Games] salmanfarisy:
I was Firefox user until I realized all extensions I installed are available in lighter, faster, webview based browser: adblock, block image, block javascript, web screenshot, etc. Firefox tries to make things simpler by removing useful features : separated reading list with capability to mark as read/unread. They removed my favorite too: include URL when sharing selected text.

Anyway, thank you. I didn't know if Chrome for Android supports extensions.

Hi, liked this lightweight browser so I got the donation version. The only thing I would like to ask is a switch for disabling autoplay videos.

Thanks for your app

Hi,

your app is not updated @ F-Droid. Do you manage F-Droid releases or not?

I have just installed this and i realised i cannot exit the app by pressing back. I can only press home to exit. Is that normal?

Im on N9005 note3 on stock android 4.3

Great work, keep it up.

+1 beside the problem above, it runs very fast is my main Browser now:good: ..Thanks

Nice work, try to add an exit button or quit with the back key. Keep up the good work.

[Android Apps and Games] Rajesh_m:
Great browser.. I have got one suggestion.. Instead of putting the side bar on the rightmost side, why not put it to the left side.. I think that will be more convenient :)

Edit: It would be good if we can change tabs from the action bar itself.. Now it's not possible to know how many tabs have been opened unless you check the side bar..
[Android Apps and Games] jayinc11:
Great browser!

Request:incognito mode please.

(Or did I miss it?)

Looking forward to the unfolding of its future dev. Keep it up!
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
I will look into doing this
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
This will be in the next update (:
[Android Apps and Games] noobandroid:

[Android Apps and Games] PeterImmel:
Hi, i like your browser, never seen such a fast one.

There are two things:

- If I open a link out of an other app like gmail, etc. the link doesn't appear. I always get to the startpage (google.de).

- It would would be great if you could integrate the possibility of creating shortcuts, so you can add homepage-shortcuts to your launchers homescreen.

I hope my english is understandable.

servus
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
Great Ideas thanks! Also. For the first one I will fix that. I realized that the app has to be up and running before u can open link from different app. Thaks!
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
That's too bad /: I do not know why that would be so since it is 3.0+ but I will be posting the apk soon so you can install that
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
Fixed your first problem. Will be in the next update
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:

Flash player support

Perfect browser, however without support Flash player:crying::crying:
[Android Apps and Games] anonymous-bot:
I'm trying Lucid Browser and it seems like a fast and simple browser. There are a few features I would like to see though:

1a. Ability to change the search engine used for the url bar

1b. Ability to set a custom search url for the url bar

2. Ability to edit bookmarks

Also the option to enable the backdrop for the url bar does not seem to be working. When enabled, the browser will try loading the homepage and before the progress bar finishes, the screen will go black and it will loop through that behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] jayinc11:
I can watch utube on my phone no problem - Beanstalk 4.4.2 Sammy i717. Have you installed adobe flash player?
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:

On clicking links which redirect you to a new page, the browser just keeps Google homepage open... Can anyone confirm or am I doing something wrong ?

[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
Are you saying when you click on a link from a different app and you open LB that it just loads Google? Are you on the latest version? V 1.7
[Android Apps and Games] jayinc11:
My chrome data folder or whatever has ballooned to over 424mb, really? Time to stick it a fork. Been looking for a small, reliable browser and Lucid has proven itself so far. It's quite a performer with no issues, no FC; it loads fast, plays utube ... does it all for me. Thank you deve. bud.

Question I have is:

Does Lucid browse websites directly? I read this about UnbelovedHosts hosts-based ad blocker "In other words, browsers with compression proxies such as Opera Mobile or Chrome (with with “Reduce Data Usage” enabled) will not work with UnbelovedHosts." That the browser has to be a direct websites browser. I can't pretend to know what the heck that means but I know I would like to use Lucid combined with an ad blocker namely UnbelovedHosts or similar. So does Lucid browse websites directly?

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

All the same that's great cos bottom line Lucid plays online vids that I am interested in - utube, cnn, sharetv, putlocker...
[Android Apps and Games] chickoo.t90:
The new version works like a charm !!!! I love it ... Thank you !! Just one another request ... I use ADM pro to download stuff ,on clicking a downloadable link , lucid does not give an option for ADM ,it automatically downloads from the default android downloader ...
[Android Apps and Games] anonymous-bot:
Yes. AFAIK, Lucid Browser does not use any proxy for data compression or the like.
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
Allright I will look into it
[Android Apps and Games] jayinc11:
How do you access privacy mode, if it's there?
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
Their is not ATM but It is probably using https for most websites anyway. But I understand why you would want that. I will need to look into how to do that.
[Android Apps and Games] jayinc11:
Yeah the NSA ... wifey? But yeah that will be great, thanx
[Android Apps and Games] jayinc11:
Whenever I press and hold a link I am not getting the customary menu to open link, open in a new tab or window.

Also some of the links just didnt open for me. Specifically the link that refers to this app's thread on the XDA news page in this here. That same link opens ok in my puffin and laptop so I know the link is not broken.

Lastly when I press a link at the url address bar I am not getting the copy, cut or paste options. The same options work great elsewhere such as this typing space, I get all options if I want to highlight cut, copy and paste.

Generally I am very happy with this browser. Good job!

Love this browser! It is fast and renders more pages correctly then Dolphin, stock browser or Chrome. I wish it used my Chrome bookmarks by default or at least it would be nice if it had the option to import the Chrome bookmarks. I could also appreciate a desktop mode option, because not all mobile websites give you the option to switch to desktop mode browsing. Even at this point, I find this the best Android browser already! ...And believe me I tried them all!

Edit: tested the new version that is on the playstore. It is even better! Found one little thing: the desktop browsing option doesn't seem to work for me. It still loads mobile pages as a standard.
[Android Apps and Games] bmorelli25:

Thankfully after sending in another repeal and battling the barrier between human vs human I have won! Both the old package and the new package of Lucid Browser has been unsuspended from the Google Play Store. I will be putting it back up on the store soon.
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
Heads up! Lucid Browser has moved. Please uninstall your current Lucid Browser and install the one from :*https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.powerpoint45.lucidbrowser once it shows up on the store. This is the original application that was mistakenly suspended by Google Play. I just updated it since it was unsuspended. Sorry for the inconvenience. What I think has happened is that Google Play thought I was copying from Lucid Launcher and they did not realize I was the one who developed Lucid Launcher. Enjoy! Have a great day!﻿
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
Thanks for your lovely browser. :D

A few things I'd like to point out

1. The Google homepage looks misaligned. Screenshot attached.

2. Could you add Desktop/Mobile view to the sidebar?

3. No history? (I guess you're working on that)

4. A better icon perhaps? :p
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
Thanks for the suggestions (: will look into implementation
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
The screenshot didn't get attached for some odd reason :confused:

The homepage looks fine on your Google Play screenshots though
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
What do you mean? I don't understand?
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
The Google homepage looks misaligned on my phone, but it looks fine in the screenshot you've uploaded on Google Play.
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
Oh. I think this is just because your phone is small for the page. I need to work on a separate page just for phones that size. for now you could just set Google as your homepage.
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
4.3 inches. How big is your screen?

And if I use some other homepage, can I get this one back later?
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
7" for kindle fire. I will look into the problem further. Yes you will be able to get it back, you just type about:home into url bar
