Hey, I gave your browser a spin, and so far I like it!

I've got to say though that it took me a long time to work out that you could swipe the bar up, and to realise that that's what the settings where. I would have liked to find the settings in the overflow button, as well as 'new tab' and things like that, because for a moment I felt like this missed a lot of functions, just because I couldn't find them. I think the ideal way could maybe when choosing "new tab" in the overflow, have an animation where the bar floats up, the tabs thumbnails are visible, and a new tab thumbnail pops up at the right, and the bar goes back down. That would be a simple yet efficient way to instantly understand where all these functions live.

I didn't get to visit a lot of sites with it yet, but it seemed to perform quite well apart from that. The fact that the UI patterns are very different from what you'd expect makes the first minute or so of contact very weird, and I almost uninstalled it straight away. I know it might not be important for you at this point, but if you put it on the Play Store at some point these first contacts with the user can become very crucial for adoption, so I thought I'd just mention it.

Other couple of things, the homepage is a bit bare like that, it would be nicer if there was a sort of blank tile with a + button to add a custom URL, or maybe buttons for history or bookmarks as well. Maybe a search bar with an easy way to change between search engines as well?

Great job besides that, I'll be watching updates!
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Nice, I've implemented something which allows you to go automatically to landscape mode when you play a video in fullscreen.

Regards.

EDIT: For naked browser you can select others option in the poll ;)
[Android Apps and Games] RamadanPrayerTimings2015:
Looks great to me. Will download it and try soon and let you know!:)
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Well there's a new update coming right now, sort of a minor update. For the "First timers" I've added an introduction screen which will be shown at the first start, in the upcoming update.

For the homescreen, I am a minimalist and I sort of love clean environment. Basically you can pin stuff to homepage then Relayout them as you like, if that's what you mean with a + button allowing you to add a custom URL. Bookmarks and History for a separate activity so as to run it only when it is required. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hope you understand.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Sure, help would be appreciated.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] awkXda:
Well, currently you have those two buttons "bookmarks" and "history" in the tab changer, maybe it would just be nice to access them straight from the home page to save you a swipe, it could still be very minimalist... Like two rectangular buttons at the bottom of the home page for example, like half tiles?

And you really need to have settings/new tab/add bookmark in the overflow menu, that's where people will look for them.

Other things I've noticed is when swiping the adress bar, it bounces back in place, but it would feel more indicative of what is happening if instead, another bar appeared from the outside of the screen, if you see what I mean.

thanks for your reply!
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Very nice project, thank you for making the builds available here. Wanted to add a suggestion.

:)

There's a toast showing the web site title every single time one switches from one tab to another; it'd be nice if this was at least optional, because when having several tabs and changing often it starts to get annoying to see the toasts again and again repeatedly. Also because if the title of the site is long it creates big obtrusive toast messages.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Well. That was added just to make user understand what tab he was on, also, if by some mistake you switch tabs using the volume keys, you'll know that the tabs have changed. The toast length isn't too long either, must not be a problem, I can decrease the toast length though :)

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Add bookmark is basically present in the Address bar, there's no need to add another option.

For the address bar animation, it would be good if it doesn't make the application heavy. I'll try it out, can't say anything about it being in the future releases anytime soon.

flash support?
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Flash support got dropped in Android 4.1. and I'm still learning to code. I may add flash support in later stages, but for now its just another plan.

[Android Apps and Games] DanielKennethRego:
I am aware of the issue of implementing text reflow in WebView. However, two other (and 'small' dev) WebView browsers, Lightning Browser and Naked Browser Pro, both accomplish text wrapping fairly successfully (not as perfect as pre-KitKat WebView, of course), without uploading data to servers and re-formatting it. Not trying to knock on your work at all, just some feedback on what I believe to be a very, very important feature in a web browser.

As for the inverted rendering toggle, I thought a quick toggle would be a good inclusion for people (like me) who use inverted rendering whenever reading at night. It's a bit tedious to have to open the settings, go the rendering mode sub-menu, and then select the appropriate rendering mode from there, and then go back up two levels to the main browser interface. IMO, 'inverted grayscale' is the best working 'night mode' rendering option, so having a quick, single-press way to access that setting would be very useful, indeed. Perhaps a 'Day/Night Mode' toggle in the main menu of the app? Or the Omnibox.

I will be following this project with great interest.

Great to see quality work from a fellow countryman. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Alright, I'll have a look at how other browsers do it, but I'm still a student and I can't say anything about the implementation any soon.

I can add the day night toggle to the omnibar besides settings icon though :) I'll try to do it as soon as possible.

Please fix downloading on my Xperia Z1. (CM12.1 5.1.1)

And i haven't see user-agent settings..

I get 9/10 this app! ;) Not faster than Chrome but good.
[Android Apps and Games] skwieradee:
Looks very promising at this stage. I would like to see a feature that atm only dolphin offers, I guess. I'm talking about swipe to left/right to get to bookmarks list. This single feature makes me using dolphin browser and i will not change it unless another browser get this feature implemented. Very handy and useful.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Hello, what exactly do you mean by "fix downloading" ? Have you tried installing the latest version from here?

To get to the application settings, swipe the address bar up. I can't tell what issue you are really facing here. Elaborate and I'll be glad to help.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Well, at this current stage, We have swipe the address bar sideways to just switch tabs, you can always swipe the address bar up and click on bookmarks which I think is almost the same. Also you can add stuff to the homepage if you need it bad, at least that's what I tend to do. UI changes won't be coming soon, concentrating more on bugs and features for now. Thanks for the suggestions though :) I appreciate it.

Regards.

I compared the RAM usage of Firefox beta and Ultimate Browser Project (one tab opened, Facebook) and I'm surprised. When using Firefox I feel that it's a heavy browser (160 MB), but when I tried Ultimate Browser i thought "It can't take more than 50 MB" (in fact it's 100 MB). I like that minimalistic look of this browser and I think that it will be my default browser for a longer time.

Sorry for any mistakes in my English (I'm not English).

I'm using Motorola Moto G 2014, stock 5.0.2
[Android Apps and Games] aMaciek:
Javelin Browser also has a similar feature
[Android Apps and Games] skwieradee:
Yep, almost the same. One click more :) why have two if can have one? this was only my own subjective opinion and I understand not everybody need it and can live without this feature. I can't. Not expecting you to add this for me, I only believe this is very handy and pretty smart feature. Good job anyway. I wish you good luck
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Thanks for showing me memory usage information, very useful for further studies, at least for me.

I'm falling in love with this browser. Fast and really lightweight, though I miss chrome sync.

Keep up with your good work!

EDIT: it has become my daily browser :)
[Android Apps and Games] zenus1003:
App is the best

Good job guy's

Do you think about work app on

Samsung multi window

Or s note pen/popup window

??
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Thanks a lot! Chrome sync is currently one of my major priorities, but I'm still studying and I'm not sure how to do that, and that's what will be surely coming into this browser in the near future.

You can try it for yourself and report to me :D

What is Readability in easy language? ;)

I can translate this app to polish but i must know how i can help?
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Readability is a Website and a service, so that does not translate to anything.

The app is already translated in Polish, you can still help by refining it by going to the link in the main post, or if you are a Dev too, you can help me with some features and stuff :)

Regards.

EDIT : Thanks a lot for your willingness to help :)

Habit browser
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Hello, I don't understand what you're trying to say, care to elaborate?

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] TotallyAnxious:
There's a browser called habit browser on the play store. I guess he/she is being rude by telling people to use another browser.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Well, It doesn't actually matter what people use, its their preference, and I respect that. I just got confused on what that person wants to say.

And I don't suppose that thing means what you said, I'll wait for him to reply. Thanks for the help though :)

[Android Apps and Games] amb1402:
I like this browser a lot fast clean and easy to use and good for my hand I can control tabs easy.. I have one problem opening any news using Google news and weather doesn't redirect me to the source of the news it search in Google hope this can be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Habit is arguably the most customizable browser on Android, bar none. Definitely worth taking a look if you're developing a new browser to see how many things they got right.

It is certainly not perfect, relies on WebView, not their own engine, and it has ad code embedded, whether you buy it or use the free version.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
I'll take a look at it :) Thanks for Reporting.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
I'll take a look at it, thanks for explanation. :)

[Android Apps and Games] JeffDenver:
Am I missing something? The directions say we can change settings, but I see no settings menu.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Swipe the address bar up, you will see a settings icon.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] :
It may have a lot of customization options, but boy, that UI is ug-lee. Not to mention the UX (user experience, how the interface 'feels') is horrid. Nothing is logical, options are hidden in convoluted menus etc.
[Android Apps and Games] adl:
Is there any option to disable "load on background" and have it loading in foreground? When I search something with Google search and click on a result, it opens on background, so I have to drag down the notification bar and click on the icon to open the browser, which seems more work as when the browser would open up on foreground.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
No, Currently there's no option to do so, sorry. This browser was designed to let you stay in your application while loading the link in background, so you do not get distracted and also that the link gets opened and you don't forget about it.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] ukekoe:
sorry really sorry
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
For what? Can you please elaborate?

[Android Apps and Games] mishaphp:
Great browser. Love and respect for clean UI and nice startpage with bookmark thumbnails that actually looks and works. No bloat, no fuss... Open source... Thank you for your efforts :)

In order to keep interface clean may I propose a customizable PIE chart (or Quick controls as stock browser refers to it) with options like back, forward, home, bookmarks, user-agent, rendering etc. Should not be heavy on RAM and would help a lot.

Also I would like to ask for a feature: some folks (me included) surf internet with javascript OFF. However sometimes there are pages that require JS turned ON to work (e.g Google Groups Discussions). So whenever I come across such page I need to go into settings, turn JS ON and then go back to RELOAD page. It would be a lot easier if I could just click "Reload page with JS ON". Naked browser does that and is one of the reasons why I use it. Would love to have this option.

One more thing: I found https://github.com/android/platform...e8ab7/src/com/android/browser/PieControl.java on gitHub (you've probably seen it but in any case...). This one is with hardcoded options... Might help :)
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Alright, Will check out Pie Controls. For JavaScript, I don't suppose I can do anything more to it, I may add a button, but it depends on what the purpose is and how useful it proves to be. If you explain to me why do I do that, or what wants you for me to do that? I may add it in the upcoming build. Thanks for the suggestions :)

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] mishaphp:
Ok, I will try to explain as much as I can what "Reload with JS enabled" should do. Lets say I am surfing the net and JavaScript is disabled in the browser settings. And lets say I go to a page that has some content that requires JS to be turned ON to be displayed (instagram images embedded on the page like https://www.pinterest.com/nialloleary/best-pictures-on-instagram/). Because I have JS set to OFF in settings that content will not be visible to me (embedded instagram images ) and I would have to go to settings, ENABLE JS and than reload page to see the content. "Reload with JS enabled" , when clicked, should temporary enable JS, reload page and then disable JS again. My gain ? There is no need to go to settings to manualy disable/enable JS and javascript content is displayed "on demand".

In short that button should temporary enable JS and reload the page so that JS content is visible (e.g. instagram images). Hope I managed to clarify my request. If you need me to create an example just ask. I think of it as a great feature and will help any way I can.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Alright, I got it :) I will try to work on it. First I need to fix bugs which are there in the application.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] mishaphp:
Thank you very much :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
Unfortunately I'm still getting the glitches with the scroll bar or whatever it is. And when I swipe away a tab the bottom of the screen where the options button is goes white. It doesn't crash and I can click window then open settings/home again.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
The scroll bar bug has been long fixed and tested. I suppose that should not be happening, can you provide a video of some sort to prove that it still happens? The second white thing you said has never happened yet. Can you make a video reproducing both the bugs and report it to me so I can check where it is wrong? Thanks for reporting!

[Android Apps and Games] JeffDenver:
I am really liking this browser so far. I am having some compatibility issues with certain websites which prevents me from switching to it completely, but now that I am used to it, I am using it as my default.

I agree with the guy a few posts ago about load-in-background. I understand why it's like that, but it'd be nice to turn that off. I still use this browser for Facebook links, but it is tedious to have to swap to the tab every time.
[Android Apps and Games] cascabel:
Great browser. Fast, minimal, no-nonsense browser. Been using it for a few days and i have to say it's now my preferred browser except when i have to dl stuff. Great job.

Anyway, i have a bug. I've updated to 1.4.3 (i was using 1.4.2 previously), but now it keeps telling me there's an update available everytime i open it. It's annoying. I haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling yet (i probably should have done that first, and i will). Just wanted to let the dev know.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
At v.1.4.3 there is an update to v.1.4.3r2 which fixes a crash in "Settings > License" and was an OTA only update so I did not care to put it up here just cause it was one fix that was included in the whole file.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
I'll have to reconsider now :) will look into it as soon as possible. Well also, which websites do you face compatibility issues with? Will be glad to help. Thanks for reporting.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] lordsony:
Love this browser so far! Great interface, very fast,minimal!!

Thank you so much for this, I especially love the fast tab switching abilities, which I miss in most other browsers...

I few (minor)suggestions though:

1.Any way to incorporate a new tab button directly in the omnibar? Maybe instead of bookmark, putting this under the three button menu?

2.Another, more intuitive animation for tab switching would be appreciated, chrome for example has (had?) a very unobtrusive animation for that where one tab's omnibare would slide to the side and directly connect (with a visual seperator) to the omnibar of the next ta

3.Like in lightning, could you configure a long press on the back button to bring up a menu where you can close the current or all tabs?

4.any button to close the current tab (instead of using the slower tab switcher interface) would be appreciated

5. (!) (Optional) Foreground loading of websites would be awesome for me, as I have for example shortcuts to website on my homescreen - launching them otherwise is way slower (clicking, dragging down status bar,clicking)

In any case then you so much for this browser, it's my favorite!

Tom

P.S. if you need help with a German translation, let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Hello, thanks for your suggestion.

Here's my take on all your suggestions -

Omnibar will get congested if I add any more things to it. So I'll not be doing that, probably.

Animations may be added after most of the bugs are fixed, for now its just another dream for me cause I'm still learning that.

I can try out the lightning browser option to bring up a menu, which looks cool to me. So it may come up later sometime :)

UI interface changes won't be happening soon as this one looks pretty good as where we are right now.

Foreground loading of tabs is under consideration, and will be done soon when I get back to work :D

Thanks for your request, I hope you understand. Will add features when I get back to work, for now I'll be only doing a few bug fixes.

Regards.

EDIT: German translation would be highly appreciated, links to the strings and arrays file is in the OP description.
[Android Apps and Games] JeffDenver:
Mainly my work website (which I can't share here). The login box won't let me log in on it. I have only had it a few days though. It is very fast and the tabs are easier to use than Chrome. What I really like though are the User Agent options. It is really hard to force some websites into desktop mode in Chrome and Firefox. I don't like the idea of begging the web designer to allow me to display their site in desktop mode on my phone (which is what the Chrome version is doing). I like being able to choose it myself.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Well I don't suppose that thing should be a browser problem for the most of it, maybe it is a backend problem, idk. Will have to check though. Uhh can you at least tell me what kind of website it is? so I can check for similar stuff and try if that happens? like mail or other stuff? really need to see where I'm doing wrong. Thanks for reporting.

Love the loading link background feature,, but I have suggestion that loading link in background should open link directly in readability mode,, that option will be very helpful and it actually makes sense.. And please improve adblock feature becoz it doesn't seem to block all ads,, still there r annoying popups..
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Well, AdBlock takes place through host file which can be found here which blocks On-Page ads, I cannot do anything to block pop-ups for now, at least. I'll try to do something about it. Just optimized the APK size to 600 KB so now maybe there'll be more to come :)
