Thanks! :D

The upcoming update will be much faster and cleaner and fix the most issues :) Hopefully it can be released soon, it takes a lot more time to finish than I hoped.
[Android Apps and Games] SSNJR2002:
Sh#t im out of thanks. :D Even faster than this will be unimaginable! :cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] tomekumb:
Wow! It's very fast and... small. How did you manage to pack all the features in just 300KB? I am impressed :) It has smooth scrolling and pages are loading really fast. Unfortunately javascript is still not that great in terms of performance. I will use it for a while. I can't see very well so my recommendation would be to add an option to force pages to render bigger fonts. But overall it's pretty good!
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
The font size can be set in settings :)

The app size is because the app uses the WebView as web engine, which is integrated in Android. So by using it, it saves a lot of memory ;)
[Android Apps and Games] tomekumb:
That's what I thought still impressive that all other features are packed into such small package. Oh, the dpi settings. Thanks, now with 125% zoom I am fully content. You've got my review on Google Play ;)

Is it possible to improve javascript rendering performance?

Support for WEBMs

Hi,

I just downloaded the app (great work + great app, love it!) and noticed it doesn't have support for WEBMs (I tried on 4chan, and on Chrome + Firefox it works).

Could you somehow activate that?

Oh, and direct support in the app or per email would be much appreciated for people (like myself) that have to make an account in xda just for this.

Thanks for looking into it!
[Android Apps and Games] dr4kendroid:
Wow, great browser. It is more fast than my chrome browser. But how do you ad blocking ?
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
It loads a list with ad servers, which needs to be blocked, and blocks all content from those servers.

Do you mean webm the video codec? Slimperience uses the video codecs of your system, it has no own codecs integrated.
[Android Apps and Games] rajubagwan:
Very nice UI ?
[Android Apps and Games] washereb4you:
Nice work?

Best browser I've used so far
[Android Apps and Games] Tatsch:
Hi, how can I increase font size of text (with working text reflow)? I tried settings as you see in screenshot.

Result is too small to read. Tested in threads of this forum on S6 Android 6.0.1.

http://www.telefon-treff.de

Other browsers show bigger font size (Chrome, Opera, Firefox).
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
The page you are testing has no mobile layout. For regular text size 20 + zoom is more than enough. In those cases you should zoom in. But I will increase the max value for text size with the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] Tatsch:
Thx for reply :). But there are still many websites without mobile layout in the world ;).

Unfortunately, "zooming in" does not do the job. I will have to scroll all the time while reading. At this moment it is very uncomfortable to read such websites in your browser.

Other browsers are able to increase text size of main text and adapt text reflow - no horizontal scrolling needed. See screenhots of Chrome, Firefox and Opera as examples.

I would love to see such behavior in your browser.
[Android Apps and Games] Cinner:
Just discovered this browser. Love the ability to swipe from side to side to switch tabs! Slide down to refresh is also much appreciated, as is the ability to change the default search engine. Great stuff! The the super slow 3D tab animations are aweful but I understand those will change.

Is there a way to have the address bar auto hide and show up again when you scroll up? I can't find this in the settings.

Anyway, promising app you have here!
[Android Apps and Games] Arter7:
Nice browser ;)
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
The scrolling toolbar is a feature that currently does not work properly with Android's WebView because the WebView does not support redizing. But on the next update I try to add some workarounds for this to get it to work :)
[Android Apps and Games] braja69:
Really want this one to work, but after the initial run, when started back up it just crashes every time. Won't start back up at all. I'm running kit kat 4. 4. 4 if that helps any.
[Android Apps and Games] asms5583:
translate option is not working thanks for great project
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
The most crashes are caused by the library for the animations. This library was made for testing (to show what Android can do), but the dev never finished it. The next version will not uses this library anymore.

Sorry for the dalay of the update. It's more work as I thought to rework the app. I've got some goot ideas to increase the settings, ut they are hard to implement.
[Android Apps and Games] braja69:
Once you get through with the rework I'll be onboard ;)
[Android Apps and Games] abhaykanade:
Great browser

Please add Download button or save as pdf for download pages.

Thx.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Good idea. But it might only download the html code, not the images and content of the page. But for sure I can add a button to download the html.
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
2 months since update ??
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
As I said, the app gets fully reworked. That means that 90 procent of the code (about 200 pages) will be rewritten. That's not possible in some days.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Please check forum rules (available via the "MUST READ" in my signature)!

I personally consider your brief comment to be a hidden question for an ETA.
[Android Apps and Games] ghosty7:
Save passwords ?

Great browser, i cannot seem to find an option to save passwords on websites, does it exist ?
[Android Apps and Games] Alex_Gamer:
Could you add Google account sync? It would be a cool feature :cowboy: Anyway, great browser do you got here :D
[Android Apps and Games] Mahnsinn:
Afaik it was asked already and Google doesn't allow sync with other browsers. Correct me if I am wrong
[Android Apps and Games] Alex_Gamer:
That is sad the hear :/
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
I would personally never do that therefore I didn't try. However, this might be hidden in settings ==>> Advanced ==>> Websites ==>> "Save form data". However, I'm not sure. Did you try?
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Would lovely do that, but Google wants this feature to be exclusive for Chrome, so it's not opened for other developers :/

As described above it's only possible to "save form data", which means, that you can stay logged in. But after logging out you need to re-enter the password.

On very old Android (and WebView) versions it was possible to save passwords (was a feature of the WebView), but it has been removed because of law violations in some countries and because it is a safety risk (especially on rooted devices).

That's why other browsers based on the WebView doesn't have this feature either.
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
This has G sync
[Android Apps and Games] Toyohisa:
Love this app, I have been using for it for 4 month now.

My only question sorry if this was answered already, how do you open up links with other programs for example a google play store url would give me the option to open it in browser mode or app mode.

Apologies for my ignorance.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
I haven't implemented this feature yet :/
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Thanks. I have judt downloaded and tested it, but Google sync does not work for me. But the app seems to be based on Chrome, I think, that's the reason why it is implemented. If I find a way, I will do so too.
[Android Apps and Games] MrGimpGrumble:
Any way to get magnet links or even just torrent downloads to work? They won't open up uTorrent like chrome does...

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
The reworked version will have an integrated download manager and a better behavior for links and downloads. It will be possible without extra clicks. But the update is not finished yet.

It's on my to do list.
[Android Apps and Games] 2phazt:
It would be nice if the downloadmanager was optional since I use ADM.
[Android Apps and Games] AviralOmar:
What is that supposed to mean? It's either there or its not. How can it be optional?
[Android Apps and Games] 2phazt:
Optional means to be able to either use the system downloader and in my case ADM or the new integrated dlmanager.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Do you really believe there's a requirement to reply to every post, which was obviously released before this marvellous object between our ears was allowed to commence working - ok, I admit occasionally it seems this object is quite often set up "permanently disabled".
[Android Apps and Games] 2phazt:
I think it's a normal behavior to answer a question politely - especially if it's pointed directly in my direction.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Yes it will be optional (as it currently is). It will be possible to set the default behavior in settings :) I'm using ADM too, it's the best download manager :D
[Android Apps and Games] jakos176:
Can i download videos through this browser or i need use third applications?
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
There is no special method to download videos, but if the website gives you the link to the video, it is possible. That's different from website to website.
[Android Apps and Games] jakos176:
Thanks. :o

I think it is a special addition to the aplication. When you play a video, if you press a long time in the video, the browser can offer a optional download. It is a idea, the browser is excellent
[Android Apps and Games] Torrentula81:
Just found out about this browser. Any way to remove switch tab icon that pops up like when scrolling up webpages? Material design apps I always avoid if possible because most have a big icon in that corner instead of everything in avoid menu.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Currently not. The upcoming update gets a new tab manager, so maybe I will remove this button for default.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
May I kindly request not to remove this button by default. I'd to get used to it but now I definitely like this way.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
If I disable it by default, it can be enabled in settings again :) The button will not be removed, I'm only trying some other methods to use this app :)
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Thank you all for your patience! I know it can be hard to wait so long time for something, especially if it was expected so much earlier.

When I started to rework the app, I have miscalculated the amount of work a lot. I have now changed and added a lot of features, so now the app is on the right way. I can't say, how much time I need to finalize the update. It can be one week, but it can also be one or two month. I hope, that's ok for you.

The main difficulty now is to add some features from the support libraries, without importing these libraries. Importing them is like copy and paste, that increases the app size by at least 2 MB, whereas I only need 20 to 50 kb code of them. So that's not the way I want. So I need to create own implementations and optimize them. That's what I'm currently doing. Hopefully I can release an alpha version for testing next week, until my math lectures start again.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Just take your time whatever it needs. You're doing such a great job, and I'm convinced everybody is sufficiently patient to wait for an application that is developed in "leisure" time and for free. Do me the favour and always remember: Your family and beloved ones, your friends, and your studies come first and have the highest priority!

Thanks for all your work! You're doing a great job!:good::)
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Thanks :) I will do my best :D
[Android Apps and Games] CLPose:
Of course we CAN and we MUST wait for you! There's no hurry. Just enjoy what you are doing! :highfive: The app will be done, when it is done. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] NeoZiggy:
I just found this browser, thank you!

My device has only 1 GB of RAM and can't be rooted so something light on memory is a must. I hate how most browsers have the same basic UI and light colors.... I'm glad you went a different way!

Keep up the great work!

Edit, Just like stock. You need to do something for image uploads and memory. It takes me 3 tries to post a pic to Facebook over the mobile site. 115mb of RAM is not good. I know I'm one of a few users on Android 6 with 1gb of RAM who can't root and is stuck with (LG) bloatware... but why make a small browser then? :sigh: At least it doesn't force close like Opera.

Should I uninstall the Android WebKit updates? Lol... I think that's half the problem... you need a light WebKit replacement!
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
The thing is, that using another webkit would increase the app size to at least 20 MB. And that does not mean that it is more efficient. The webview loads only the files of the current webpage. When there are a lot of images (like on facebook), these images will increase the RAM amount a lot. In RAM the most data is uncompressed, because that's the fastest way to work with.

And as you are on Android 6, please try to disable "Offscreen pre-raster", if it is enabled. But I can only say, that 1GB of RAM is the minimum for MM to work with. Of course, there may also be devices with less RAM, but on MM their customers will not have fun with it.
[Android Apps and Games] faraam:
Hey, love the app! Thanks for creating such a beautiful browser. I noticed a small bug though: in the setting page the option to hide the toolbar only affects the UI toolbar on the setting pages. When I go back to the browser itself the header toolbar is right there where I left it. Also, the option to hide the toolbar in the left swipe panel *does* work on the browser, but then it reverts back whenever I reopen the app.

All this to lead in to my feature request: auto-hiding the toolbar when scrolling, to match the behavior of the floating button.

It would also be nice if upon reopening, the app went to the most recently active tab instead of the first in the tab list; and if the new page opening animation was simpler.

Trying to close individual tabs with the x on the right gets kind of wonky too: it's either unresponsive or interprets the tap as selection instead of close, until I have to quit the entire app just to close a few tabs.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Try to disable 'Use website's theme color' in settings. This overrides the transparency and inserts the primary color, if the website has no own theme color.

The auto-hide toolbar is the feature what I'm currently working on. It's not as easy without overlapping the page (even on top of the page), because the webview does not support resizing (which is needed for a proper implementation like in Chrome). But I now have a workaround for this, so in next version it will be integrated ;)

The animations and the tab manager are removed in the next update. I have a new easy and fast tab manager ;)
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Great news: The scrolling toolbar works now!!! :) This feature needed about 30 hours to get it to work, but now it works perfectly :)

I needed an extremely modified webview with an integrated NewstedScrollView, in combination with a CoordinatorLayout, and an AppBarLayout.
[Android Apps and Games] Phiraptor:
Does that mean the next version is around the corner [emoji6]?
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
The next version is a fully new app and also a fully new experience :) Against the new version the current one is a heap of crap :D
[Android Apps and Games] Phiraptor:
Don't rise the expectations too high [emoji41]
[Android Apps and Games] aviranx:
when will be the next version?

i used this one (1.2.3) and its complicated, and not blocking all ads.

if you can implement popup blocking too will be awesome! :)
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Work in progress. No date yet. It's done when it's done ;) Maybe next week a beta version.
[Android Apps and Games] NeoZiggy:
I tried researching but couldn't find much information. Turning on "App Cache" should use internal space to store images and all... but what will enabling 'Drawing Cache" do? I don't mind internal storage being used but I need minimal RAM consumption. Does Drawing Cache write to RAM?

Thanks for your help, your browser is the best I've used.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Thanks :) App cache and drawing cache are methods from the WebView. If enabled, they store files in the internal memory and loard it into RAM, if it's used.

The upcoming update will need less RAM. The new app is using less layouts, less libraries and better optimized classes and methods. For example so calles Singletons, which are static classes, that can only have one instance. In the last days the update has becone a big step forward, so a beta should be available in around one week.
[Android Apps and Games] inboxxku:
Thx for the hardwork. would u add speed dials on the next update? thx

[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
My current test build has a size of around 130 kB. When all languages and features are (re)added, I think it will be around 250 to 290 kb of size :)

The most is working great for now, so a beta can be released soon (~ 1 week).

For the new version I needed to use a lot of features which are only available on Lollipop and later devices. An alternative version for older devices will also be released as soon as possible.

Thank you for the answer. The "U/D's" was for updates, sorry.

Thanks for your time

(are there any downloadable instructions?)

EDIT - found out hiding toolbar allows for enough room to see search input and swiping either side shows respective menu again.
[Android Apps and Games] SDMU:
I was surprised at how efficient and fast the app is , given it's small size ! Quite a lot of features too ! If possible I'd like to request a feature that allows the user to open the browser by default in Incognito mode . Thank you !

How is this related to this thread? [MENTION=1255308]SaschaHa[/MENTION]: Thinking about reporting this to a moderator.

As one of my teachers said 10 years ago: Once is no time but two times are two times too much :D
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
The upcoming update will be a fully recreation. The toolbar and statusbar will be hidden and shown automatically while scrolling. First alpha/beta is planned for the mid / end of the week (so in a few days).

thx for your work :)
[Android Apps and Games] NDR_man:
As said above, it's quite fast but can you make the scrolling smoother, I find it stuttering a lot at times unlike other browsers like good ol' chrome, HTC one m9 here

Thanks for the tiny size though, (that might be what she said)
[Android Apps and Games] michaeltheclyde:
When going to settings from a webpage, it always goes to the homepage when closing settings. (not back to the webpage) Plus I can't figure out how to show history (it's turned on) or I could hit the history of the last page but . . .

You know, I read that but since my h/page is set to g/search I kept looking for history results when typing in the input box . . . sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] VooDoo`:
Hi, can you also implement text line breaking? So discussions on forum boards are still readable without scrolling left-right.

Opera is using this, but sometimes it's broken. Then you have to disable line breaking an re-enable it.

[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
I haven't found such a feature in the WebView yet. I can try to add it with JavaScript or HTML codes.
[Android Apps and Games] VooDoo`:
That would be a really great feature for a future version. Here is an example website: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=357457. Opera does a great job. If you can also resize the images you beat them all.

Today I'm finalizing some settings and creating a new list adapter and the toolbar. I think, the new test version is ready tommorow or on monday.

The test version has another package name, so it can be installed as seperate app. It will not contain all of the new features, because some of them are not finished. But it gives a small preview of what to exspect by the final update :)

[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
The test apk is coming this night (lately, German time). Most of the methods are not linked yet (because of some changes in the views) so it will not be the fully working app. It's for testing the toolbar, the modified WebView itself and the starting speed. If that works, I will add the DrawerViews, the new databases and all the WebView features, which are currently missing.

The current size is around 142 kB, the final update will be around ~230-290 kB I think.
