Glad to hear you like our app! The paid version has history and favorites, and additionally unlocks features in both apps, such as ad block, full screen browsing, and find in page support.

If Tor disconnects you will be notified via a black bar that appears just above the URL (the same one that appears when Tor is connecting). You can also long press the Tor icon to see the Tor log.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Instead of having the apk do u plan to share on F-Droid?
[Android Apps and Games] Kr36:
Hey Lambert,

Glad you are enjoying our work! Using Krypton's bundled copy of Tor should not interfere with Orbot. If you want to use other apps with Tor, I suggest keeping Orbot. Soon we will be providing a way to specify a custom proxy, (e.g. Orbot) instead of the bundled Tor. Stay tuned!
[Android Apps and Games] Kr36:
Hey m0d,

The app has a large native component (a shared library that is ~19MB), so the full apk exceeds XDA's limits for upload. :(
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
FYI: http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/introducing-the-xda-devdb/
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
The app does not work properly, as in anonymously.

Before tor connects you are able to surf the web with your location known to all.

Also, you can browse without connecting to tor at all, which defeats the purpose mentioned in a the title, "Krypton Anonymous".

I do, however, like having the option to use without tor as it has a nice interface.

But as far as security goes, not secure at all, as the app started to search before connecting to tor (tor was still trying to connect) and location/ip was not hidden

Not sure if you fixed this issue though

Hope to see progress

What is the latest version of the app, by the way?

It would be nice to have it somewhere, website/plus page/play store
[Android Apps and Games] Kr36:
Hey m0d,

If you're demands for anonymity are high, I suggest enabling the "Tor always on" setting, this should hopefully address your concern. I'd like to also note the browser does more than just proxy your connection through Tor. Cookies, cached data, and various other bits of state are never written to disk, and cleared from memory when you close a tab. Additionally we attempt to mitigate fingerprinting by disabling certain browser functionality.

I'll add a version # to the post in a moment.
[Android Apps and Games] Jostian:
I would just love the option to import a bookmarks file, rather tedious typing in all my bookmarks again, love the simplicity of the app, many thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
I am just pointing out what seemed like a bug, as you are advertising your app as Krypton Anonymous. I did mention that I liked the ability too disable tor and browse normally, too.

However, there needs to be a way to make sure which option the app is using. I did try setting "Tor always on", do not remember if it solved the issue, will try again.

But that means, to me, that you do not close tor, it does not sound like it has anything to do with being able to browse before connecting to tor. Users reading the article on your app - http://www.xda-developers.com/android/krypton-web-browser-privacy/, will be under the impression that your browser is an anonymous browser. But they need to be aware that in some cases that is not the case, as your browser allows you to browse before connecting to tor

There should be at least a pop-up warning that your are not yet connecting to tor before it browses.

I suggest an Anonymous mode switch in settings or in the menu (something like desktop mode in many other browsers) which forces you to wait until tor connects before browsing, which you can always switch off if you do not need it

I.E. The checkbox in the image: http://b2b.cbsimg.net/blogs/nexus-browser.png

But instead of "Request Desktop Site" an "Force Anonymous Mode".

Thank you and for your time

Seems like a nice browser. :) I really like the interface and the Tor button! But are you planning to use the new Android 5.0 API to integrate tabs in recents menu like chrome?
[Android Apps and Games] Jostian:
what is this TOR button? is it in the paid or free version?
[Android Apps and Games] udaan:
If it is displaying ads then it is not anonymous

I am sorry to say this but your free version displays ads, which compromises the user and leak his IP to advertisers, which infact can be used to match digital finger print of users to find out who they are and what else they do on the internet. While the developers of this app needs money for their hard work, your free version just isn't anonymous as you are advertising.
[Android Apps and Games] FunkyMuse:
The free version is full of ads.
[Android Apps and Games] phishfi:
You don't understand how Tor works if this is what you think...

When browsing via Tor, your actual IP is hidden, so the app being displayed is sending/receiving data from one of the many tor connections' IP address, not yours.

It is still anonymous, even if ads are displayed.
[Android Apps and Games] Kr36:
Glad you like it! Do reach out if you have any suggestions for improvement.
[Android Apps and Games] Kr36:
If you are using Tor, your internet provider will probably not be able to tell what pages you are opening. However, they will likely be able to tell that you are using Tor.
[Android Apps and Games] Kr36:
We've talked about it, we're not sold we like the idea. Do you think we should?
[Android Apps and Games] Kr36:
It's the onion icon, in the URL bar in the free version (Krypton Anonymous). It launches Tor, a program that proxies your connection through a set of servers, which helps protect your anonymity.
[Android Apps and Games] udaan:
So does it only works with TOR? TOR is NSA/USG honeypot by the way. But that's another topic. Nice try to make a legitimate anonymous browser though. This reminds me of a browser The Pirate Bay once made.
[Android Apps and Games] Kr36:
Hey udaan,

You can use the browser without enabling Tor, but if you decide you want it, it's one tap to turn it on.
[Android Apps and Games] phishfi:
;) ... k

Just because the NSA makes contributions to open source code doesn't make it their "honeypot". Tor was actually designed by the Navy. I don't know where you think that the NSA considers Tor their "honeypot" though. Maybe that comes from the one Javascript vulnerability they found for Tor... Anyways, if that's your complaint then use something else. Why sling crap at a browser that does something to protect users.

You reply to a post I made about how ads don't equate to the user's privacy being violated by saying that the NSA can still track you... That's not even relevant to the discussion. Anyways, I'm not a developer for this project, so it wasn't my "try to make a legitimate anonymous browser". It's actually a great first start at developing a valid Tor-based web browser. It's open source, it's functional, and it's very clear on when you are or aren't connected to the Tor network.
[Android Apps and Games] ShernDog:
Really excited for a in development full privacy browser. Will keep an eye on it.

The $4.99 price is a little high for me to get the full version but that's just me.

Any idea when the download bug will be fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] guv.:
Would it be possible for you to add a description to the snapshots in tabs view? Sometimes the snapshot is not immediately obvious.

Also I would very much like to see an option to auto hide the URL bar. Full screen mode is a bit difficult to activate one handed and I think the way other browsers handle this, where the bar disappears when scrolling down and reappears when scrolling, up is very convenient.

resident sandboxes are not purged, and no captchas in Tor mode?

Dear Kr36,

I've gone through the process of installing/purchasing both Krypton apps, and while the 'Anon' version is a remarkable improvement over the speed that Orbot provides, I need to ask;

Why do sandboxes, and other extensions of Krypton reside in memory, when the app is not in use, AND even after the app is unistalled/(ph)rebooted?

The only method that I found which could remove the memory items, was to roll back to a restore point, in which Krypton wasn't installed. This was tested twice, with the same processes active. First time with both apps, the second time with only the Anon version installed. I hesitate to call this a security concern, with Krypton processes seemingly still active after un-installing, but this does seem like a security concern. No?

Also, is there a method to verify Tor connectivity when surfing, and or having a better Tor log, than you offer? I ask because Orbot is increasingly challenged by captchas (CloudFare), and while using those know captcha websites as a datum - Krypton (Tor enabled) was _not_ encountering any captchas. This makes one question if a through Tor connection was achieved.

Thank you for you app, although it will remain un-installed, until I learn more of your resident memory issues.

Sincerely,

Gordon

i support this app moving in the direction of private anonymous and FOSS and was just thinking about possibly replacing chrome with this for my browser, i want to get rid of all botnet possible on my phone, but now am unsure due to above comment. i'll wait until all security concerns are addressed.
[Android Apps and Games] Kr36:
Thanks for the inquiry

You can use the following website to see if you are connected through Tor: https://check.torproject.org/

I have no idea what you mean by "sandboxes, and other extensions". Can you clarify or provide an example of your problem? Similarly I'm not sure what you mean by "remove the memory items". Krypton (the paid version), stores your history for a specified period of time, but you can easily clear or disable that in the settings.

Re: Tor / Orbot, I'm working on a tighter integration with Orbot. It's likely I will stop bundling Tor with Krypton, and require Orbot be installed to use Tor.
[Android Apps and Games] oneasterisk:
Thank you for the reply Kr36,

I will endeavor to reinstall, and create a screen capture of what I am seeing, when I can get an opening.

Hopefully, this is operator error, or a gross misinterpretation, on my part.

Screen captures of installed and uninstalled app usage

Dear Kr36,

The first attached image (Screenshot_2015-01-26-21-39-50.png) shows what one presumes as normal Krypton function, in the battery app usage screen, with a Krypton Anon and one sandbox process. (Had I the forethought originally, I could have screen captured two sandboxes and the single Krypton app. running.)

The second image (Screenshot_2015-01-26-22-20-40.png) show a continued Kr36 sandbox process, after *uninstalling* all Krypton apps and performing numerous soft and hard reboots. Again, the only method that I found successful in removing this sandbox process, was to rollback to a prior restore point before installation. Please elaborate as to why this process is so persistant, when Krypton apps are no longer installed.

Sincerely,

Gordon

P.S. Could future Krypton apps be built without the User Agreement "feature"? I believe that this is not only redundant, as no other android browsers seem to require this, and if one performs memory/cache cleaning (of their phone) this User Agreement continues to reappear.
[Android Apps and Games] Jostian:

Re: Tor / Orbot

Dear Kr36,

I would concur with your thoughts of a tighter integration with Orbot, as it would make it easier for those that run no-GAPPS phones - who follow the F-Droid updates (Orbot’s non-PIE and new PIE versions, etc.).

Sincerely,

Gordon

P.S. Aside from possible removing Krypton’s User Agreement annoyance, could you possibly add a “Stop”, or browser like “ESC”, feature? Where the user can STOP any and all webpage activity. If I recall correctly, this used to be a feature in an older build of Orweb, but now the user is at the mercy of the webpage’s continued downloading, or updating. Thank you, again.

[Android Apps and Games] oneasterisk:
...does it pass Freak attack?

Kr36,

Do either of our browsers pass the "Freak" attack test?

Https://www.freakattack.com/clienttest.html

FYI - The Orweb browser (version 0.6.1) does NOT pass the test, and is exploitable to a weakend encryption state.

What I'm trying to say, is that if your browsers DO pass the test (Which I would have tested for, but I will not re-install your apps until you can answer the earlier posted questions.), it would place Krypton in slightly better territory, than Tor's own Orweb browser.

p.s. Again, it would be really awesome, if you could find the time to answer my earlier queries.

Sincerely,

Gordon

Hey,

I have a Qtek 8500. I've sent last night SMS to my friend. He is switching OFF his phone for night. 9 hours later, I got a message that the message cannot be delivered. This happened to me for second time already with different person, using different cellphone and provider.

With my old SGH-E600 phone, I was able to change validity period to a month. But my Qtek 8500 seems to have it too short (just few hours). Does anyone of you if there is a way in registry, how to change validity period for SMS? I havent found anything in the standard settings yet... T_T And that really sucks, 9 hours... Crap.

And really, it's not because of my provider. Vodafone in my country supports up to one month. I am sure with that.
[General Topics] banannq:
As you said it's not a matter of your provider - it's a phone lacking a possibility to set a message validity period. i had the same problem but i got used to it and eventually forgot. You can set (in most phones) a period of time from 12 hours to a month or close - you can't using xda. it is until someone figures out a software solution...

Hey guys, I can only move icons out of my lower tray (where the apps button is) onto my screens. I can't move the icons back or even from one screen to the next. If I hold down an icon, it never becomes available to move unless it is in the lower tray (I've been messing around with it and now I only have the apps button and one other button left, all others have been moved out but I can't move any back).

I was listening to earplugs while mowing the lawn. When I got done, my gmail icon (which normally resides in the lower tray next to the apps button) was moved up onto my home screen. When I tried to move it back, nothing happened. I tried to move one of the other icons in the lower tray, address book, and was able to move it to another location in the lower tray and to the home screen. But, I can't move it back to the lower tray either. Nor can I move any icons on any of my screens to a new location. Holding the icon down does nothing.

Does anybody have any ideas?
