I see no reason to have a stock CAF browser without Google goodies: https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/chrome4sdp/?q=google

As already said you can be connected to Google servers (no matter what your browser) if you are using their DNS, their features like Safe browsing and so on... Firefox (with many privacy tweaks) is my default browser and I use this one for specific searchs.
[Android Apps and Games] yoreek:
Firefox is way too sluggish and awkward compared to this one. Why a browser cannot be fast and secure to use at the same time? A rhetoric question, the answer is funding. :(
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
There's a lot of things under the hood for Firefox.

This browser is fast.

Firefox is privacy friendly.

What's your top priority?
[Android Apps and Games] yoreek:
Why isn't it possible to have both? :cool: But privacy is more important for me, that's true. However, I must admit that chromium is also more user friendly with firefox offering more of desktop-like experience. I tried to use ice cat, but gave up on the end: it's not user-friendly. :(
[Android Apps and Games] ceza1380:
I wish I could also get built-in web page translation. I know there is api problem. Does anybody know a way to use built-in web page translation from Chrome to use in a different browser? I mean I want to use a different browser which have web page translation like Chrome. I need it in class.
[Android Apps and Games] goldalex98:
Just started using this browser recently and been loving it. However I noticed that any links ​that go to Googles amp lead to a blank page. I have to go to the standard link and avoid amp. In regular chrome and Firefox amp works fine. Not sure where I should report this?
[Android Apps and Games] Jakky567:
Have you updated your adblock lists? I recall a discussion, but do not have an easy way to check.
[Android Apps and Games] goldalex98:
I just updated adaway and still seeing same behavior.

Edit: just figured out, it was web defender. Had to allow ampproject.org

[MENTION=6306270]ainurrofiq[/MENTION] here, sorry been busy it should be the latest version

https://mega.nz/#!MK4hwIzD!GWAQe7bYErKd-zIyQkaUMHH8YWxMnx362zghNv6JVW4
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Thank you so much

This is included the Overkill block list right?
[Android Apps and Games] ArslanTheGreat:
yeh
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Thank you so much.

If I'm allowed sir. What if I send you the list of my adblock , and whenever you have time. You build swe again with the list that I sent you. I'm looking forward to you sir

Thanks

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Panic84:
this is like pyrope but updated, right? I am curious wich one of both have more battery consumption, I think pyrope in power mode drains less
[Android Apps and Games] mattnin:
New build is up. I think a 2 week release cycle is fair at this point, the browser is running good :thumbs:
[Android Apps and Games] die_braut:
Thank you sir!
[Android Apps and Games] Reptilez_DK:
I ended up switching back to your builds, as you build more frequently than me. <-- /methinks grammar abandoned me

:victory:
[Android Apps and Games] __ganeshanand:
Background audio

Background audio doesn't seem to work even if I switch it on.
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
You built with custom adblock list?
[Android Apps and Games] Reptilez_DK:
No. Didn't change a thing, but learned a lot. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Okay . If you wanna build again. Can I give you the list so you will add it to the browser?
[Android Apps and Games] Reptilez_DK:
I'm probably not gonna build it again any time soon.
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Okay. I'll wait
[Android Apps and Games] Reptilez_DK:
I think you misunderstand. I'm not gonna make a build within any foreseeable future ! :)
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Haha yeah. Okay
[Android Apps and Games] SlimShady's:
Been off a bit from XDA. Is now Google accessible with SWE Browser or still has the same old bug? Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] ndarkside93:
Please be more specific?
[Android Apps and Games] SlimShady's:
I remember I couldn't sync bookmarks etc. Is this problem still there?
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
AFAIK Google is the problem. They don't allow 3rd party apps to sync bookmarks.
[Android Apps and Games] ndarkside93:
That's a Google problem. They've blocked all 3rd party browsers from using Google sync
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
anyone have problems playing video in browser? just started after updating recent build. it just keeps pausing but i can download the video.
[Android Apps and Games] ndarkside93:
Nope. Working just fine in my end
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
never mind i was playing with privacy settings in CM and that was the issue. my bad :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] ndarkside93:
Good you got the issue resolved
[Android Apps and Games] mathorv:
[MENTION=7149109]mattnin[/MENTION]

Great build I find it to be slightly better than Tuga which is good, just your build seems to be lighter and faster and this is what really matters.

Is there any argument that may convince you to make builds more often?

Like 10 days and if one of branches becomes stable or beta?
[Android Apps and Games] MOVZX:
Is 64bit build available?
[Android Apps and Games] ndarkside93:
It works in 64bit devices. He tried to build a 64bit specific build but it wouldn't build properly
[Android Apps and Games] MOVZX:
Thanks for letting me know...
[Android Apps and Games] bamless:
Thanks for your work man! I tried to build this thing one month ago but didn't succeed (probably fault of the 1 GB swap)! Now I can finally try it :D.
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Have you built it? Can you add additional adblock list?
[Android Apps and Games] Packsman:
[MENTION=8032808]ArslanTheGreat[/MENTION] I found that scweeny's fullscreen patch does not apply on m58 source anymore, it used to work on m57 and backwards. It would be a real shame if this useful patch losses support in future builds...

edit: Found a better way, if anyone is interested in full immersive swe, type this command from adb terminal:

./adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=org.codeaurora.swe.browser
[Android Apps and Games] bamless:
As I said, I tried to build it, but failed. If you want I can try to build it again (this time with a decent swapfile :P). What Adblock list do you want included?
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Check PM

I've sent the list.

Thank you

I'm looking forward for you
[Android Apps and Games] kdm6389:
good work, I will replace this with stock app

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

can't you build a browser, on top of GoogleWebView with supporting uBlock but look like Chrome
[Android Apps and Games] bamless:
Here it is: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7A1vY0MuNfHdkpTUGNQRzNqejQ

This is version 58.0.3029.2797909. I've also changed the label name in "Chromium SWE" and the icon with one made by me
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Thanks you so much. You included all the list?
[Android Apps and Games] bamless:
Yup. I didn't test them though, let me know if it all works properly.
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Okay . Can you PM me your telegram account. So we can easily communicate
[Android Apps and Games] mattnin:
m57 stable should be up on both XDA Labs and here in top post. I wanted to have m58 out today, but had errors in the build, should be soon.
[Android Apps and Games] mathorv:
[MENTION=7149109]mattnin[/MENTION]

As much I am grateful and like and use your builds as a main browser vgot to ask you for some minor improvements.

Package name is Browser (I suggest "SWE Browser", "Browser SWE mattnin"or something like that, so it will be slightly more unique)

When you put files to the android host could you add version, build and stable/beta tag in filename, eventually date tag? (Example SWE_Browser_57.0.2987.2797785_stable.apk or SWE_Browser_2017.05.01_stable.apk)
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Hey man. Is it possible to have this browser up in F-Droid? Just curious.
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
that would be great. increase the popularity.
[Android Apps and Games] skyline72:
Thank you for this wonderful browser.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
All chromium based browsers are denied on F-Droid (open source only. This is not a FLOSS app).

It's not worth submitting it I think.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Isn't this an open source app? I was under the impression it is. OP says so.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
It is but F-Droid only accepts

FLOSS

apps. Open source doesn't mean FLOSS (free/libre and open source softwares).

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.en.html
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
I know of this. I guess I should ask more specifically, what's blocking it from an F-Droid entry? License?
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Non-free dependencies: GCM and Google Play Services
[Android Apps and Games] yoreek:
Why? I don't have either of these installed, and the browser works without even requiring them to be installed.
[Android Apps and Games] b.roid:
same here ?
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Even if it's working on a device that doesn't have any Play Services installed, this browser is compiled with these librairies so F-Droid team will never accept it.
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
Thanks to these instructions I managed to compile m59.

my.mixtape.moe/xvkrnn.apk link if anyone is interested. I only changed the app icon to the chrome one
[Android Apps and Games] mathorv:
Come on people come up with some reasonable(common sense)naming convention scheme.(version or date or both)

#256 SWE_Browser_customadb.apk -> SWE_Browser_58.0.3029.2797909_2017.04.30_customadb_ BiziOS.apk

#273 xvkrnn.apk -> SWE_Browser_m59_2017.05.03_azaidi.apk

Edit: For me it is worth to wait for mattnin's build. Devil is in the details. Browser compiled with 0 or errors is a safer and more reliable bet.
[Android Apps and Games] Dirty Flasher:
Nice browser. Working well on my S5 with RR 7.1.2.

I'm curious though - how come it starts out as a 50 odd MB download and within a day or two of limited use it's taking up 171 MB? By comparison, I've had Dolphin browser installed for many weeks at a time between ROM flashes and even though I use it 95% of the time and have all my bookmarks and preferences saved in it, and it's themed, it still only takes up 50MB.

This browser is definitely a bit faster and smoother right after installing, but it bulks out quickly. I'm not even saving any non default settings :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Discussing different software than the one the topic of a thread refers to is usually off-topic, but to reply to your question...

An apk is basically a zip container, and the download size is not directly related to the installed and fully expanded application, which may include libraries, etc.

Secondly, this is a full-fledged browser, with its own web engine and several additions like the ad blocking code. Not much different from others, like Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc. Firefox can easily claim 100-200 MB.

As far as I know, Dolphin is a browser that uses whatever WebView engine your Android system includes; which is to say, it doesn't have its own independent engine, thus reducing size of both the download and the installed application. It also doesn't compare functionally to a full-blown browser, which admittedly is more bloated by comparison, but also more complete and powerful in options.
[Android Apps and Games] Dirty Flasher:
Whoa, sorry, topic Nazi. Do you mean my referring to Dolphin as a comparison to make the point I was making?

Kinda like you did there?

OK so it's a bigger app because it has more stuff in it. Thanks for your response. I hadn't been condescended to yet today.

Well I'd better go and post "How to root phone" in the Viper thread.

Goodnight. :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Hello,

I thought I was giving an informative and polite reply to your question. I had waited to see if anyone else did before.

I reminded you of the forum rules because as you point out, both your post and mine refer to other software, and that is usually frowned upon. I did it as much to make you aware of it, as to explain to others that I am also aware of it, but will do so to answer your question.

I had not been insulted today as yet.

I am not sure you have any life experience about, or real knowledge regarding what 'nazi' means. I guess you do know it is an insult to call someone a 'nazi' of any kind, to state the obvious. I will not report it for now, but if a mod sees it, know that it is also against the rules and can get you banned.

Personal attacks and insults are not allowed, as one would hope, in a forum like this. It is, in fact, a forum for developers by developers, anyone else is kindly allowed to visit and profit, but at the very least, manners are required.
[Android Apps and Games] Dirty Flasher:
LOL

Edit : Just saw your PM. Mate, you may think you were being polite and informative, but, as with questioning my life experience, you came across as condescending. If you had any life experience, you'd realise that.

That's very big of you to offer not report it. A very magnanimous gesture! But feel free. I don't much care tbh. I'm not a delicate snowflake.

Incidentally, aren't your hurt feelings a bit off topic for this thread? Just saying... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] godofsalt:
Wow poeple, this IS a place for details, information, specifications as well as a place, for those interested in a specific APK, or Rom to come together.

I must say, this sort of BS (nazi) and wasting people's time with 1 person, upset or reexplaining the rules....

we have here in XDA is crazy.

We should respect the rules without losing your head over very small piece of info.

Someone coming here the first time can really get the feeling that we all hate each other as welll as not caring bout nothing...

Come on, aren't we all a bit old for such child like behavior...

Just saying. Seen this sort of BS in several threads this past week, make me think, Why should I go here to learn more about a certain APK or Rom..

Tanx for your time
[Android Apps and Games] mattnin:
Thank you. Didn't save error. Something with my patch, https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4133729&d=1493597914. It has been posted in the top post. Will have time this weekend, should be simple. Already have a build for m58 but it's not patched.
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
Well, I uploaded it to a site that automatically renames the file but has much better download speeds than AFH. I have actually named my browser SWE_M59_Amir_v3.apk on my phone, but mixtape decided to change that.
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:

[Android Apps and Games] skyline72:
I was bored and decided to run some benchmark on this browser.

[Android Apps and Games] skyline72:
You meant this browser against default chrome right?
[Android Apps and Games] ndarkside93:
Yes correct. The same can not be said for m59 in my testing

[MENTION=7149109]mattnin[/MENTION]

Could you build all these four, not modified? If some branch is needed, then try with LA.UM.5.5.r1-04300-8x96.0, as we are often on SD820/821 :)
[Android Apps and Games] mattnin:
Interesting. I'll look into it. m58 still on to do.
[Android Apps and Games] Jakky567:
The camera app I think is the one included with CyanogenMod based mods.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
I'm not sure. The Lineage based ROMs contain a Snap camera. One dev builds a ROM for my device whose thread mentions a Snapdragon camera. I get the impression they're actually different.
[Android Apps and Games] ndarkside93:
Not really so that different. Snap is based heavily on Snapdragon camera. But because of the breadth of supported devices by lineage it's Ben modified to work on other chipsets
[Android Apps and Games] Packsman:
[MENTION=7149109]mattnin[/MENTION] you probably already know but I think there is a problem with your last uploaded swebld58ver0004.patch. I tried to build from m58 caf source and I got some errors. With swebld57ver0003.patch it compiles just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] lambroslnk:
I was searching for a great browser for my everyday use, and i think i might have finally found the best.

Thanks for your efforts!
[Android Apps and Games] mattnin:
I posted the m58 patch in case someone would find the syntax error before I attempt building it again. The m58 browser builds fine without it. I've been extremely busy lately and just haven't had the time to touch m58, but I expect to be able to put some time into the browser this weekend and if not, next weekend. I don't expect the syntax error to be too difficult to find, should be something pretty simple.
[Android Apps and Games] Darkmasterhk:
quick look using npp (compare patch 57 vs 58) gives me line 53/62:

58:
+ "suggest_url": "https://duckduckgo.com/?q={searchTerms}&language={languag$
+ "search_url": "https://startpage.com/do/metasearch.pl?cat=&query={searchT$

57:
+ "suggest_url": "https://duckduckgo.com/?q={searchTerms}&language={language}&kac=1",
+ "search_url": "https://startpage.com/do/metasearch.pl?cat=&query={searchTerms}",

guess that's it
[Android Apps and Games] mattnin:
Thank you! I never knew about npp. Must be a copy paste error as I moved from m57 to m58. I don't know of an easier way to make the changes I need when going from say m57 to m58 so I just copy edits from previous builds and paste them. I bet I copied text from nano, that's why I got the $ sign
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Do the filter lists get updated in the background or are they static? If so, would it be possible to have them update over Wi-Fi? Kind of like Firefox updates its add-ons.
[Android Apps and Games] die_braut:
I hate to be that guy but:

Will you post a newer version this weekend?
[Android Apps and Games] mattnin:
It's alright. Soon, just keep checking XDA Labs app or check back here. Seems like m58 is pretty buggy though. I personally might revert to last stable for awhile.
[Android Apps and Games] Darkmasterhk:
[MENTION=7149109]mattnin[/MENTION]

Hi,

I just recently started to build the browser myself (big thanks for the guide!), but I have a few questions about it.

Is there a reason why you recommend Ubuntu 14.04, cause I'm building it on 16.04.02 without any problems (maybe some scripts got updated)?

Also the requirements guide, I usually use

git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git

directly isn't that easier then following the caf guide (it changes them anyway if i remember right)

And is running

envsetup.sh

necessary, i'm only using

install-build-deps-android.sh

And again thanks for the guide!
[Android Apps and Games] Panic84:
How can I bypass the amp prompt? Its very annoying and dont know to to get rid and enter directly to the website
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
I have been using M58 for a while on my 3T now and it is actually stable enough as a daily driver. However, the same can sadly not be said about M59. I'd recommend giving M58 a shot

Click the URL bar and there you can open the real site. However, you can load the AMPed page perfectly fine in SWE Browser if you disable the content filtering for Google.com.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Actually I'd like to disable AMP but I don't think it's possible.
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
[MENTION=7149109]mattnin[/MENTION] or anyone

Can you take a look at this adblock list. If its wrong can you fix it or edit it?

Thanks so much
[Android Apps and Games] Darkmasterhk:
I guess you wanted a web_refiner_conf file?

This is the list I use, its not identical but very similar to what you want and you can see the pattern and modify it

You also need to remove the .txt ending
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Yes I'm taking about web refiner . Inside it is custom adblock based in unlock origin. But it seem doesn't work. Coz pop ups ad still pooping
[Android Apps and Games] Panic84:
sorry if this is a noob question but how do you disable the content filtering for google.com in the SWE Browser?
[Android Apps and Games] mathorv:
Sure add v57 as stable(or make newer 57 build if there were any new commits from previous.

V58 beta is relatively ok, obviosly not as light as 57 but there is demand for versions that are in pair with latest stable chrome number. Besides newer builds are usually more stable.

Did you ever consider automated nightly builds?

Xda members usually prefer bleeding edge versions, despite some errors.

Huge thanks adding version number in name of latest release.
[Android Apps and Games] Dmitriy003:
It supports cm 11 ?
[Android Apps and Games] ndarkside93:
Yes.
[Android Apps and Games] THEHARI:
Hi, first of all thanks for the browser

I'm using it as daily driver,

Everything working fine for me

Just One wish if these media controls (as shown in ss below) can be implemented in the browser

TIA
[Android Apps and Games] fitittome:
Great browser. Good work. :) Just switched from Firefox
[Android Apps and Games] CCody:
Thanks for the list, but here is a kinda noob question: what exactly am I supposed to do with that list if I want to applied it? Do I need to build the app from source with your list included?

And can you tell me what I should do with the patches provided in the first post?

Thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] Darkmasterhk:
yeah you add them before compiling, the patches are another way to add stuff, the ones in the op add some search providers and the blockers from adaway.

basically they do everything from step 5) + adding some search provider in one step

my web_refiner_conf list contains a few more and different adblocker lists taken from ublock

if you also want the stuff from the patch files you can do the following:

go to src
git apply swebld5Xver000Y.patch
switch to chrome/java/res/raw/
remove .txt ending from my file and replace the original web_refiner_conf
build it
done
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Can you upload your build here?
[Android Apps and Games] Darkmasterhk:
