"FOSS Browser" is a fully free (as in freedom) open source Android software. The intention is to provide a simple and lightweight, but powerful and privacy-friendly browser with a modern user interface. - Your privacy - your data.

UI/Handling

FOSS Browser uses the latest [Material You](https://m3.material.io/) design libraries. Following system day/night mode and a wallpaper based theme are just two features of this new library. The UI is optimized for one-hand-use. All UI-elements are at the bottom of the screen.

More features:

Play audio on background.

Keep screen on.

Open links in background.

Restore tabs on restart.

Privacy

FOSS Browser uses profiles to protect your privacy. For each profile you can enable or disable: AdBlock, JavaScript, cookies, fingerprint protection and much more. Profiles can also be saved for domains ("github.com" ⇒ Trusted website). This saved domains always overwrite the current profile. So, for example, "github.com" will always open with the trusted profile, even if you are browsing in the protected mode.

More privacy features:

Build in AdBlock, which updates automatically. You can decide which content to block. AdBlock hosts are taken from Steven Black - AbBlock hosts.

Third-part-cookies can not be enabled.

Enable or disable Android-autofill.

Delete browser data (on app exit).

Choose between different search engines (or set a custom one).

FOSS Browser itself doesn't collect any data: Privacy

Bookmarks filter

Organize your bookmarks with filters. You can set custom names for each filter. Long press the bookmark icon in the toolbar to get fast access to your favorite bookmarks.

Gestures

You can assign over ten different gestures to the toolbar and the toolbar buttons. Each in four directions. So you have up to eight different gestures to control FOSS Browser. Supported is for example: load last website, switch tab, reload, open bookmarks, ... and many more.

Backups

Backup all your important data (bookmarks, history, trusted websites and so on) on your SD-card. You can also back up FOSS Browser settings.

Github-Releases: Here you can find latest app-releases. These are debug versions.

Github-latest: Here you can download the debug version with the latest changes. It is like an alpha version for the next update ...

F-Droid
[Android Apps and Games] Nex23:
Pretty interesting so far, some things:

-Youtube cant do fullscreen

-Why does it always search in this sp engine even URLs

-Adblock would be cool
[Android Apps and Games] salmanfarisy:
Nice design. Has basic features with some extras. Is it just me or scrolling's not smooth enough?
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
Thanks for your response...

To open a url you had to beginn with "http..." I changed this in the current version now "www..." is enough. I don't think that I will implement Adblock because there are several apps, which can do this better.

Update V2:

- YouTube now can open fullscreen

- opening urls is easier
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Thanks [MENTION=4787911]Gaukler_Faun[/MENTION] for this new FLOSS app!

I'm going to install your browser and I'll post a feedback ASAP.

Added to my list ;)

EDIT: which license do you use?
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
I will use gpl v3. If I have time today I will add it on github. As said it is planned to be released on F-Droid. At the moment I'm working on the context menu for the lists and some ui improvenents.

If since then no new issues are reported I'm going to release the app.

Thanks for your feedback and adding the app to your list.

Regards

Gaukler Faun
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Good idea. Threads are full of adblock questions once it's implemented...

This is a great browser with interesting features (save screenshot of the whole web page is useful).

Some suggestions/questions:

• There's no tabs. Do you plan to add them?

• Enable/Disable Javascript per website

• User agent

• Edit bookmark

• Set a homepage

• Export / Import bookmark

• Hide status bar while browsing (optionnal)

• Text reflow

• Unable to select the current URL from the omnibox (pressing the URL bar to search is not a good idea IMHO)

• Swipe to the bottom from the URL bar also closes the app (not explained in the Help menu)

• Pinch in isn't handy sometimes because the app wants to refresh.

• Unable to access to the General settins while browsing. I have to close the app to return to the first screen.

• I checked Form data in the general settings but I have nothing in 'Open PassStorage' after being logged in to XDA.

• Why do we always have https://www.startpage.com in the Open passStorage window?
[Android Apps and Games] CLPose:
Hi! I tried your browser (release and release2) and it seems to be fast and lightweight to open. :highfive: But whenever I tap on the magnifier, app FC. :crying: No matter if I write a word or a URL in the search box. I'm on my Moto G 2014, CM12.1, and xposed. Others webview-based web browsers work fine in my device. Any idea what could be the problem? :confused: Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Do you have a FC while searching something with your default search engine or a term on a web page?

No issue with my Nexus 5 - AOSP 6.0.1 - Xposed. Could you provide a log?
[Android Apps and Games] CLPose:
Hi, there! As I said, I have others webview-based browsers and they work fine, whether I search for a term or for a URL in their own search bar. And I don't have any default search engine such as Google search bar, if that's what you meant. :confused: About the log, as I'm a complete noob, I downloaded AndyLog to create one (it's in XDA ;)). This is my first time with logs so, please be gentle, and I don't know if it's going to be useful at all :silly:. Please, tell me if there's anything else I can do to help. Keep up the good work! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
There's no specific bar for each search engine. You can define one in the general settings and it is used when searching something from the URL bar.

Thanks for the log. FYI you could use MatLog (open source) and here is a tutorial to record a log: Easiest Way to Utilize Matlog
[Android Apps and Games] CLPose:
Thanks for your suggestion on Matlog. It's easy to use. :victory: So I upload the log with this tool too, just in case its logs are more useful. :highfive: No hurry, of course, but do you -or OP- have any idea why it FCs when searching? Thanks!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
I see when the problem occurs but I'm not an app dev so you have to wait [MENTION=4787911]Gaukler_Faun[/MENTION] for further help.
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
Thanks for the logcat. Have I understand right:

You did a fresh install

you opened the app

you clicked the search icon the first time

you entered something in the edittext field

when you click the second time the app crashes

It seems to be a problem with the keyboard ... At the moment I'm looking at it ...

Regards

Gaukler Faun
[Android Apps and Games] CLPose:
Hi! Yes, that's right. I did that process with release and release2 apk, fresh install, and both apk crashes at the moment of making the search. With or without the keyboard on display. I'm currently using swiftkey keyboard. Good luck :fingers-crossed: and thanks :good: for your hard work!
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
Thanks for your reply ... so ...

There's no tabs. Do you plan to add them?

I don't even know if it is possible to implement tabs in a webview. It is not the normal way without tabs, but if you are used to it you don't miss them. The history and readLater list are a good replacement. So I don't plan to integrate tabs.

Enable/Disable Javascript per website

I thought about it and have some ideas to implement. But I think it's a lot of work ... So maybe some time in future... You can "quicktoggle" javascript in the settings (will be "retoggelt" when you restart the app.

User agent

I tried to implement it but with no success. User agents seemed to be controlled over javascript interfaces on the websites. Also different websites have different ways to recognize the useragent (link).

Edit bookmark

Is implemented (long click on a entry).

Set a homepage

At the moment i don't want to implement.

Export / Import bookmark

Implemented in the settings (backup/restore).

Hide status bar while browsing (optionnal)

Good idea and not much work. Will be implemented. Do you mean only statusbar or also the omnibox?

Text reflow

Google removed this feature from webview with KitKat. :(

Unable to select the current URL from the omnibox

That I won't change. You can copy the link in the clickboard over the menu (share).

Swipe to the bottom

removed in latest release (v3).

Pinch in isn't handy

There are also some other minor bugs while webview is loading. I will work on it...

Unable to access to the General settins

Implemented in current version (v3)

I checked Form data

Google also removed saving password in a webview. Some websites (p.e. github) are storing the login data in cookies. Enabling cookies solves the problem on some sites. When I implement the whitelist for javascript, there will be also on for cookies... You can save a website in the passStorage over the menu (save website). There you can enter login data. Login data will then be copied to the clipboard (just try it out). The passStorage list has also a long click menu.

Why do we always have...

This is needed to create the databases. There must be at least one entry per list. When you saved more than one entry you can delete the default entry...

Again big thanks to you for testing my app and making suggestions to improve it. As you see some things are already done.

Regards

Gaukler Faun
[Android Apps and Games] Gaukler_Faun:
New update v3

v3:

quick settings in the browser

Android N app shortcuts

ui improvements (edit bookmarks, enter login data)

some minor improvements

Please make a clean install. There are many changes under the hood...
[MENTION=6310891]CLPose[/MENTION] I didn't find a solution until now. Perhaps you should use the default keyboard and try it with the new version. I changed some code concerning the keyboard...

Regards

Gaukler Faun
[Android Apps and Games] CLPose:
Hi, [MENTION=4787911]Gaukler_Faun[/MENTION]! I did a clean install of version 3 and it FCs as well with Swiftkey keyboard and with CM AOSP default keyboard. So sorry! :( Attached, you can find log of browser V3 with AOSP keyboard. Thanks! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Some features I suggested are available with Lightning/JumpGo browsers (MPLv2). It may help you to add more features.

1. Actually tabs are very useful (that's why we have them in most of web browsers ;)). For instance, you are on a forum and you have to do some tests on the website. You need 2 tabs to switch between the website and the forum.

Tabs are also handy when opening several websites from a RSS feed.

2. It seems to work well with v3 :good: Maybe enough...

3. Perfect :) will you try to add folders?

4. Not a big deal

5. Yep, thanks :)

6. I would say 3 modes is perfect lol:

- hide statusbar only

- hide statusbar and navbar

- fullscreen: no statusbar, no navbar, no omnibox

7. Available with JumpGo too.

8. Thanks
[XDA Assist] metalisten:
Hi guys,

I have problem with more same tablets LTLM N7. Due to the impossibility of restoring OS, I was forced to flash the firmware in this tablet. All OK, but if I try to run camera pops up an error "Unfortunately, UHD Player has stopped". If I install an external application of camera, I get the same error. This tablet have AllWinner A20.

I flash firmware named "PH_A70X_auto_auto_gc0308-gc0308_81xx_20130803" which should operate (inside the manual is a warning about the possibility of malfunctioning cameras and advice on installing literally "camera.apk", but it does not work).

I tried other firmware but the problem was still the same. Im flashing with PhoenixSuite.

You do not have any advice, I'm clueless. HW problem is eliminated.

Sorry for my english, regards
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] F9zSlavik:
Wondering if anyone else has done this? Traded their tmobile variant of international. I mean I can't complain I got this phone for free but still! Peaked over at the threads over at our sister phone and man it is packed with roms and kernels etc. Just tired of the sluggish phone. Even on stock it is sluggish.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] sonkameja:
Go xiaomi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Root-Maniac:
Same here. Done with Sammy after the note 7 and now this s7 edge..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] F9zSlavik:
Don't know anything about them or their phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ShrekOpher:
I have had no issues with my S7e. I miss my Note 7 but there are no better phones on the market. I've tested tons, always come back to the S7e. The screen is so nice the camera is great and it's water proof.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] black96ss:
no real complaints here with mine. I also came from the note 7 as well. The n7 definitely had a more premium feel but this phone isn't all that bad. I haven't rooted mine yet because I haven't seen any roms worth jumping to. so far package disabler pro tweaks is all I have done. I still have my note 7 and I'm not turning in until they release a deadline for a full refund but I hardly use it because the battery life is for crap compared to the s7e.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] sputnik767:
Good lord, it's just a phone. It does what it is intended to do, and does it very well. Don't like it, plenty of competition out there. Not sure what you hope to accomplish by making yet another thread complaining about lack of options. Real root/unlock is never coming to this device. Live with it or dump it for one of the tens of other good devices out there, and move on with your life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] andrewNY:
Try flashing the G935U firmware if you haven't. It seems to run a lot better for most people since it's stripped of all the carrier bloatware. You can then manually flash the modem file from the latest T-mobile firmware to have 256qam enabled.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] F9zSlavik:
It does NOT do what it is intended. Unfortunately I was sucker into this downgrade and I can not get another phone. Don't put words into my mouth, I never said there was a lack of options. I am merely posting this thread to anyone looking for the downsides of owning this phone. On stock, its laggy and hot. On a custom rom, it is even more laggy, hot, and if you plan on playing games on the Gear VR, expect about 10 minutes of play before it over heats. I'll take a video of it so you guys can see. There is also severe graphical tearing in Gear VR, while not constant, they happen more often than they should -_-

I'll take a video of it so you guys can see. I h ave a trusty fan next to my computer even ever it gets too hot and I need to cool it.

If I am on Echoe, isn't that the same thing? Or would that firmware with root work better than Echoe?

I hear you, maybe I should go back to stock then.

Part of the reason why I went with the S7 E. I got pampered by my Note 5 and it's discontinuation really threw me off.

I got another S7 E on top of my closet sealed that Tmobile gave me. Not sure if to turn it around and sell it or wait to see if Sammy comes out with any special promotion on a trade in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] andrewNY:
I'm not rooted. My understanding is that the only root solutions on the Snapdragon edition require you to use an engineering kernel with poor performance. I'm happy just using Adaway with the stock Samsung browser and I can just live without the rest of the root 'benefits'.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] sputnik767:
Here's the thing nobody is looking for the downsides of owning this phone. You're looking for people to confirm your opinion and nothing more. Let me be clear, the problems you are having with your phone as you've described are limited to your device. Perhaps you got a bum device. It happens, I did replace mine under warranty for a hardware fault in the AOD and edge clock displays. Perhaps you loaded up your phone with so much garbage that it simply chokes on everything you have running in the background. I don't know and will not claim to know. The root lag and heat are well known issues due to the engineering bootloader. This is explained in the rooting threads here. You went ahead and rooted it knowing this, don't be surprised that you are experiencing issues that are clearly stated will happen if you root.

I have the gear VR as well and the few times I played games on it I had no heat issues or screen tearing issues. None. My phone is stock and exhibits no noticeable lag or heat. I can get 4-5 hours of screen time easily with room to spare. Now, I rarely play games, screen time is work related, but I have never experienced excessive heat when playing high-end games either. Of course I don't use facebook, twitter, instagram, snapchat, and whatever other garbage you kids do nowadays.

So my point stands. Don't like this device, get another one. Get one that is easily rootable, get one with stock Android, or whatever you want. But understand that the problems you are having are either the fault of your specific device or your fault. If it's the former, a new device will help. If it's the latter, you should address the underlying issues before screaming about how bad this phone is. But there is no systematic problem in the GS7 line.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ahskeetz:
Whoa so much tension here. I've had 2 S7 edges and both exhibited some lag here or there. The biggest problem I had with the phone is the inconsistency in its performance and smoothness. With that said, I'm hoping Samsung will do a better job with optimizing Nougat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] xVermicide:
this is insane. OP is throwing a fit about his phone being hot and laggy when he has it ROOTED. jesus christ man. this phone isn't laggy or hot, you're just using the wrong kernel for your phone. eng kernel isnt made for performance. it's made for engineering. unroot your phone and/or flash U firmware and stop being an ignorant crybaby.

ON QC S7/E, ROOTING CAUSES LAG AND OVERHEAT ISSUES. THERE IS NO FIX.

this phone isn't meant to be rooted. which means it's perfect for people like OP. because you obviously can't follow instructions or advice from all the root guides and threads on here. you just ignore all warnings and then make a thread to whine about your malfunctioning phone when it starts doing the things you were warned it would do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] F9zSlavik:
You must be a sad little man or kid) to try and belittle someone else's opinion that does not agree with you loving the device. Sadly I was looking at the downside of owning this phone but I didn;t look deep enough. Why would you Pros and not the Cons. You buy a brand new Ford and it breaks on your before you even reached 50k mile but had you looked into the cons of that make a model you would know NOT TO FREAKING BUY IT. I wish I had someone post a negative review of the phone itself so I could of avoided buying it, twice.

As for your solution, as if giving up said phone for way less than what one bought it for it is not much of an option unless I want to take a loss. As far as you not having heat issues, I always have it and have seen others have similar issues. So you rarely play games yet you can sit there and tell me with absolute certainty that the phone does not over heat... right very reassuring. Remind yourself never to review phones. I do use facebook, but not that app, just the web browser. And I assure you, I am no kid, your attempt to insult falls very.... very short, much like your intelligence. As far as the phone not having a systematic problem, I can go on a dozens threads here on this site alone and even review sites and even youtube videos that say the very exact opposite of you. And again, this belittling thing your doing, either you have WAY too much time on your hands and are constantly looking for an opportunity to try and appear higher than others by belittling or you... are just a sad man or kid. Case in point, don't like my thread, don't comment. And I would advise against trying to belittle anyone else, whether done here or in your actual life.

My opinion, don't like my thread, don't post in it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] F9zSlavik:
You miss the part that I had this issue even when I had it stocked. Should I direct you to the many threads, reviews sites, and youtube, not to mention the other posters who said the same thing? Either contribute or don't post in my thread as I mentioned before. You may fine nothing wrong with this device, rooted or not, I have had this phone constantly overheat, while stocked, and while rooted. Get over it your shock of me throwing a fit on a 800 dollar phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] F9zSlavik:
Agreed ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] sputnik767:
There was no belittling on my part in anything I said, unlike your post. If you found it, you must have looked for it very hard and are overly sensitive when someone disagrees with you. Like I said, I have no issues with heat, battery, gear vr, or anything else. Whether I play games or otherwise. I suggested that your phone is bad or something you're doing is causing it. Sorry you don't like my suggestions, but it is what it is. Like is said, move on to a different device and hopefully you'll be happy with your choice. I know at least 3 other people with the gs7e that have none of your issues, as well as plenty of Internet reviews that state the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ShrekOpher:
Lag fixed on the Nougat beta. Also has a few features I used to root for that are baked in now. Only thing missing is V4A and system wide add blocking.

To each his/her own. The S7E will do for now [missing my N7 also]. The N upgrade is just around the corner [or a odin away if I can't wait] and from what I'm hearing it makes this thing run like the N7. I'm having problems with the Gear Vr also. No more than 20 minutes and time to shut it down.
