I'm having a lot of problems with downloading images, which may be related to the user agent change(download manager and atlas using different user agents?)

this one for example: https://4walled.cc/show-1940866

it used to work fine, but now it just says "download failed" right away.

another issue: the url bar is now stuck in prediction mode for swype, which means auto-spacing is also always on.

and there's no longer an open tab counter, so I don't know how close I am to the limit until I've reached it.
[Android Apps and Games] Syk69:
Please add an option to not have to hit back twice to close a tab window. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] De_Falt:
Add a night mode, or all black mode. That would be nice.
[Android Apps and Games] Prack:
Yeah any kind of theme option would be amazing.
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
This isn't far from being my daily browser. Amoled theme would be good, and tabs on right option too. Then I think I'll pay for the upgrade.
[Android Apps and Games] JonesL:
Yeah a black/dark theme with a nightmode would be nice, sick of being blinded by various websites at night.

Hi,

What i have to do, to put a link to the desktop? For example. I have a special Website that i frequently use. I want to use this link as the starting point. On the three points i miss the corresponding entry.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
new "bug" when using fullscreen mode:

revealing the notification bar from the top-right of the screen may trigger an item from the 3-dot menu corresponding to the location where you stop touching the screen.

this is a conflict between the gesture to reveal the notification bar(swipe down from the top edge of the screen) and the new menu gesture(slide down from the button to reveal the menu, release to "open" the entry you stop at)

I've already triggered things like "start private browsing", "add bookmark", and "open bookmarks" several times while trying to check an incoming notification or whether I'm using Wi-Fi or mobile data.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Did you try to manually allow the Storage permission before launching Atlas? I'm still using microG framework, no Gapps (except Play Store [***NEW*** since my last attempt]) and Atlas is working now.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Thanks for the tip, but not working. I installed minimal GApps temporarily to update some things and then Atlas would launch, of course. I removed them and again, instant crash on launch.

Maybe the reason it works in your case is having the microG framework substituting for Play Services and / or the Play Store present in the device. I don't have either. At least it's clear where the problem lies.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
There's a big difference when using LO-FI mode. Very good browser! I'd like to use the site settings manager so I'm finding a way to buy the pro version without having Google services.

It seems that Atlas doesn't support YouTube videos. I have an URL error with this video for instance. Log attached.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
There is an apk for the license independent from the application's apk, so you could buy that by installing the Play Store, then just keep and / or backup ( for any future reinstall ) said apk and remove all traces of Play Services and Play Store on your system.

That is how I did it, since the license apk will activate the full version without needing Google's stuff from then on.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
[MENTION=4958579]Primokorn[/MENTION] atlas does support playing YouTube videos, but for some reason YouTube tries to use the wrong method for playback.

you can force YouTube to use html5 instead of rtsp by opening the page in desktop view, or you can use the app(activate "launch external apps" in settings).

this should be "fixed" when tliebeck switches atlas back to the old user agent.

google thinks atlas is a "feature phone" browser due to bad parsing of the user agent, but Google had no problems recognizing the old one.
[Android Apps and Games] Cardim21:
Is this browser still under development ?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
last update was 19 days ago.

but it's not pushed to the release channel yet, so it won't show up on the play store unless you register for the beta channel.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
There's a glitch when highlighting words in the bookmarks menu.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
I'm having a lot of trouble with cross-domain logins.

most outsourced comment systems(disqus, Facebook, etc.) either won't remember me or won't even let me log in.

when I try to comment a new tab opens with a login screen, and after login it refreshes the original page without logging me in.

and Nintendo won't remember me for more than 1 page.

if I log in it works for a few seconds, but when I open a new tab or click a link I'm logged out.

this started with the beta release of 2.0.0.17
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
and another problem.

sometimes the new tab button starts/becomes active even though it's not visible and the tab bar is closed.

so touching where the + would go would open a new tab.

on most pages it's a rare occurrence, but it was very common on https://www.jigsawexplorer.com/online-jigsaw-puzzle-player-h5.html?puzzle_id=wagon-wheel

what's odd is that it consistently happened on both my note 4 and my nexus 7, but now I suddenly can't reproduce it on my note 4 anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Sorry for the delay in response on this, but should be fixed in the 2.0.0.20 release if you enable third-party cookies in the slideout.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
it fixed the issue in most cases for me, but my.nintendo.com still logs out whenever I click any link.
[Android Apps and Games] mcb25:

Atlas 2.0.20 Released (Moved to Production)

Feature recap:

New Material Design User Interface.

Support for purchasing Atlas Plus via in-app purchase (license key APK is also available/supported).

Mobile Experience mode enabled by default.

Third-party cookie filtering (optional).

Thanks again for any feedback, and hope to add a few new features/improvements in upcoming 2.x builds.

[Android Apps and Games] Prack:
Any reason we can't full screen video clips?
[Android Apps and Games] grepp0r:
Thanks for the update. However, the latest version broke keyboard completion suggestions for me. The completion bar no longer shows. That feature is the reason I switched to Atlas in the first place.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
it's not broken, it's fixed.

there's an option in the settings under user interface.

in the last few versions this option did nothing and suggestions where always given, now it's back to the proper behavior where suggestions only work in the address bar if the option is enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] donpippo:
Delete single entry from history

Keep a local copy of content filter, for when on a bad connection it fail to download

Remember tabs between crash

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
tabs are already restored after a crash if it's possible.

but the tabs aren't always recoverable.
[Android Apps and Games] tantienjscbacninh:
I love it. Thanks you
[Android Apps and Games] grepp0r:
Actually that option is enabled, as are all the options on the user interface settings page. I should mention I am using a galaxy S3 and Android L, 5.1.1 (Cyanogenmod). I am using "hacker's keyboard" (with keyboard suggestions enabled), but I have the same behaviour/problem with the stock android keyboard.

cheers,

Atlas 2.0.1.0 Released

This is a single-item bugfix: Atlas wasn't ensuring it had/requesting storage write permissions before downloading files. I'm amazed this problem made it through to production, but I think it snuck in because 1.) other features that needed storage access would prompt for it, and 2.) I didn't realize using the system download manager even required the permission. In any case, fixed now.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.atlas

Direct download is also available at: http://android.nextapp.com/atlas/r2021/Atlas_r2021.apk

You can also fix the current (r2020) release by simply going into settings/apps/Atlas on your device and manually granting it the storage permission.
[Android Apps and Games] diablos222:
Atlas is back!? Thank you! I never abandoned this browser. It was my primary browser since it was released so I couldnt be happier :D

EDIT. I installed the new version and immediately noticed that 2.0 version is noticably slower and choppier than the old version. I will stick with an old version for now but I will keep an eye on the developement.

super fasst
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Regarding Atlas and its use of the system download manager, I'd like to suggest implementing its own download manager, at least as an option, even if very basic with no features at all ( which is the case with the system one anyway ) for security reasons.

Which would be that applications that should not have internet access, or have been blocked from having it, can still get around this in most Android versions if not all by invoking the system download manager and using it.

If using, say Firefox for instance, which implements its own download manager, that security risk is covered by allowing users to block the system download manager if that's what they prefer.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
I'm looking for a tool or app to convert an URL to a PDF file. I remember Firefox browser has this option but I would like to not install another app so would it be possible to add this feature into Atlas?

I use an online converter atm but a built-in option would be appreciated.

TIA
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
One of the most irritating ( and incomprehensibly unresolved for years ) issue with Android is the constant and unneeded reloading of tabs in a web browser.

It wastes time, battery, bandwith, data, the user's patience, and ultimately said user's lifeforce. It makes browsing the web or using web sites and web applications a major pain, it makes reading unnecessarily difficult, and so on.

It's of course due to Android's atrocious, criminal, memory management.

It is browser independent; Firefox, Chrome, Opera, WebView browsers... All of them.

It is hardware independent, happened back then in single core 512 MB RAM devices, happens today in 4 GB octa-core devices; Samsung, LG, SONY, HTC, it doesn't matter.

It is unrelated to application use as well, one can be running 26 applications and it will happen, one can be running a browser and nothing else, and it will still happen.

It happens with 44 tabs open or with... 2.

I'd like to know what black magic Atlas is infused with to get away with murder and avoid this issue, at least most of the time.

To be fair, the original Android AOSP browser a few years back, and Sleipnir currently, are two browsers that also have this rare quality of being able to ( gasp ! ) switch from one tab to another and NOT reload said %$#%^ing tab every single time you open it.
[Android Apps and Games] gobonja:
Very innovative UI.

Are you planning to implement option to switch tabs and settings menu?

I think it would be better since tabs are used often.

btw. I am a long time user of FX Plus file manager and when I saw that NextApp made this browser I just knew it had to be good!
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
What difference would switching tabs and settings make?
[Android Apps and Games] gobonja:
1. since I am using phone with my right hand it's easier to swipe from right edge of the screen

2. I don't have to maneuver with my thumb to switch or close first tab since it is in top left corner

3. tab panel is used more often so it's should be easier to access
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
It's just a single issue really, left versus right hand use. You have a point, but a person using it with the left hand ( I'm guessing most ) would prefer to leave the UI as it is.

Not sure what "Material Design" guidelines indicate about this, I suppose it could be an option in Settings if developers want to implement it.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
I wouldn't mind being able to set both sides as tab switcher.

I don't often use the site control panel, but I do often switch with which hand I use my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
atlas really needs keyboard-dodging.

many websites now stick text entry boxes to the bottom of the page, even going so far as making them follow you down if you try to scroll down to get to the box.

in Atlas this means the boxes are stuck underneath the keyboard, with no way of revealing them.

I want the home page to display a certain HTML page on my sdcard but when I entered "file:///sdcard/abc.html" in the "Home" setting, the homepage displayed an error msg saying "http://file///sdcard/abc.html not found". Please allow local files to be used as home webpage. Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] visceralpsyche:
I just tested this javascript accelerometer test which is designed to show if the browser is leaking accelerometer info (could be used to steal PINs and/or keylogger stuff), and Atlas 2.0.1.0 fails:

http://www.albertosarullo.com/demos/accelerometer/

This is the associated article which gives more info about the problem:

https://arstechnica.com/security/20...drive-by-exploit-that-steals-smartphone-pins/

Could you please release a version which fixes this exploit?

Much appreciated!

Cheers,

Paul :)
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
that sounds like an issue with the browser engine, which is maintained by Google.

I doubt tliebeck can do much about it.
[Android Apps and Games] visceralpsyche:
Ah, that's entirely possible. Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] yoreek:
Hi! Thanks a lot for your great Atlas browser! That's the best one in terms of mobile experience and speed. But it seems you abandoned it. Why? If so, it is really sad, I couldn't find a comparable decent lightweight browser and do hope you can maintain it. So, can your thankful users expect a new version anytime soon?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I suppose there were nothing else to add to browser. Since you like it then it is good. It means it doesnt need any more updates.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
I'd love to work on this more, but there's been very little interest in it. Part of the low appeal is that the general public doesn't really care about privacy (or at least they've been misled to the point where they don't understand it).

It's not abandoned though, there are changes that will be coming in maintenance releases. And I especially need to do something about the "Content Filter loading" messages, they're very annoying, and shouldn't burden the user to wait unless the filter is significantly out of date.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Actually using a webview based browser is a problem per se. I don't understand why there aren't many Gecko based browsers.

Privacy will be important for most people when it will be too late...
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
Atlas actually doesn't use webview anymore, on android 7+ it actually runs directly off chrome's engine.

and [MENTION=2954544]tliebeck[/MENTION] the ghost (+) button issue you recently fixed in FX exists in atlas too.

and atlas still needs keyboard dodging, text boxes at the bottom of a page are almost unusable.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
And Chrome's engine is based on... ? Actually it's even worse.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
in the end it's all derived from webkit.

but they've made 2 big changes in the past.

initially they built a plain webkit webview into android.

then they switched to a separate webview app on the play store which was based on chrome's modified version of webkit.

and now they've completely ditched the webview app, and instead pull the render engine straight from whatever chrome version(s) you have installed(so disabling or uninstalling chrome breaks many apps)

it took me a while to figure out why atlas kept crashing in the secure folder, by default there's no chrome app in there(samsung Galaxy s8)
[Android Apps and Games] visceralpsyche:
If I could put in a small request for a photo intent, so that pressing the Add Photo button on Facebook brings up the available image viewers to help select an image?

And more pertinent to the app in general, how can we help get more people to notice the app? It's by far the best browser out there!

As always, thanks for maintaining it!

Cheers from Holland,

Paul :)
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
OK then you are talking about Chromium and not Chrome. Because I have the AOSP variant of WebView (used in Chromium and compiled for my custom ROM // not related to Chrome app) but Chrome is not my webview (it could be if I were a Google fanboy).
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
interesting, how that article describes it is not how it works for me at all.

the webview app is permanently disabled on the galaxy s8, there's no way to enable it.

the render engine list in developer settings only shows different versions of chrome(stable/beta/dev), there's no option for webview(app is installed, but disabled without enable button) or chromium(installed through getchromium)
[Android Apps and Games] yoreek:
I do understand that work must be rewarded, otherwise there is no motivation to keep working. This is the main reason for dropping Atlas I guess. And indeed, there is a general misunderstanding what privacy and security mean. People give away much without even knowing it...

You are right saying this content filter message is annoying. Also, many sites do not work in incognito mode at all or keep refreshing, because cookies are not supported in it. These are major bugs I would say. Would be nice if you could fix them. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
This is not related to Atlas. Some websites don't display any pages if you don't allow cookies. That's how they work...
[Android Apps and Games] yoreek:
Is it possible to sandbox cookies somehow? So that they could expire or vanish after incognito session is closed? Will it take a lot of time and effort to implement or it's limited by the system?
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
idk. Actually I use an addon (Self-destruction cookies) to manage the cookies on Firefox (my primary browser).
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Cookie management API in WebView is hilariously poor. Since they pulled the private browsing support out of WebView, I can't find a reasonable solution except simply killing all cookies in private browsing. And it's only possible to do that safely by running the private browser as a separate process.

Might be able to create a "private browsing add-on" which would actually just be a second APK of Atlas launched from the first that tosses its cookies when closed. I spent forever trying to find a way to manage cookies separately for the private browser, but to no avail.

Worst. API. Ever.
[Android Apps and Games] yoreek:
Is it possible to force atlas to connect to websites using secure https by default? Now it connects to regular http even if the site supports https.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Atlas 2.1.0.0 Released to Beta

Finally a new release....changes include:

Improved content filter loading.

Fix for obnoxious (+) button bug.

Tweaked user agent for more compatibility.

Added log-viewer activity to view Atlas-related log data.

File upload support for Android Lollipop and later versions.

Better integration with external apps, such that Atlas can be used for OAuth2 authentication and opening app-specific URLs. User confirmation is required when sending data to other applications.

Replaced in-app-purchase code with the modified version from FX File Explorer. Google's stock in-app-purchase code has major flaws and causes crashes.

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.atlas

To opt in or out of the beta test via Play Store, visit: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/nextapp.atlas

Direct APK download: http://android.nextapp.com/atlas/r2100/Atlas_r2100.apk
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
it's good to see uploads working again.

would it be possible to support android's built-in file selection system?

the basic file browser used in atlas works, but it's not very useful for uploading images because it doesn't show any preview or thumbnails.

with android's file selection system you automatically add support for any file or media browser that's properly registered in android(such as your own FX file explorer)
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
A few suggestions/requests:

• add Startpage as a new search engine

• randomize the user agents instead to choosing only one

• option to start the browser in private mode instead of activating it manually
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
The private mode in Atlas is kind of lame IMO because it rejects all cookies. I can't store cookies separately for two instances of a WebView-based app because Google blew it on the WebView/cookie API . What I may wind up doing is creating a second "Atlas Private" app that is an optional "add-on". It'll be the exact same thing as the main Atlas app but with a different package id. When Atlas starts up and sees it has that package id, it will behave as a full-blown private browser, with auto-dying cookies. When the package is present on your device, the "main" Atlas app will launch the second app when you enter private browsing mode, and you'll get temporary cookies. If you don't have it installed....no cookies.

Trying to add startpage but I don't see a "Suggest URL" for them.

A lot of sites parse the user agent to decide how to behave. Randomizing it might break things quite a bit. Could randomize it per session a bit but then you might see different behavior with each session.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Yes, need to change this. May retain the old item as optional, but not sure if it's required at all.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Instead of dealing with another package could you add an option to block cookies for the main domain? Actually I would block all cookies by default and only accept cookies for websites where I'm connected.

I think this URL should work for Startpage: https://startpage.com/do/search?query=

User agent is randomized on my firefox using uMatrix and it works flawlessly. I sometimes get notifications from websites saying that some features may not work. I only have to give my real user agent on AMO (addons store of Mozilla).
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Was looking for the suggest autocomplete URL...finally found it's this: https://startpage.com/do/suggest?query=

The only reason I'd do the second app is because the CookieManager API is just that bad. CookieManager is a singleton, and it writes to a single database (there is no way to configure it). Incredibly poor design.

The Atlas private browser runs in a separate VM process, but the CookieManager will still attempt to read/write from that same database. And the database behavior isn't documented, so I don't feel safe swapping it for a different one when you go into private browsing mode.

I really don't know if the user agent randomization is a good idea. Certainly would do it at most once per session. Definitely a private browsing-only feature.
