Thanks, I have started to look at NanoDroid.

Yes I am on stock. On Moto G7 Plus.

I had rooted it using TWRP 3.3.0, and notifications started appearing for a system update, but the update failed (apparently Motorola have stopped delivering OTA to unlocked devices). So I updated following this thread using the latest firmware in this folder.

Anyway to block browser and system fingerprinting in bromite native, since extensions do not work with this application?

http://www.deviceinfo.me/

Bromite displays quite a bit of system information based on the page posted above
[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
The only alternative would have been to introduce a flag for the anti-fingerprinting measures; I did not want to implement it (similar to ungoogled-chromium) to prevent possible performance problems with such flag check, that would happen a lot of times during the rendering of a page.

By the way, the "stuck" problem on disqus happens also on different websites as well, although not common.

You can still scroll up and down on the edges of the screen away from the "box" where all the Disqus comments are loaded, if you need to continue using the web page without going back and losing your place.
[Android Apps and Games] MotoX4:
A little secret I discovered using Magisk. There is an official module called "Bromite Systemless Webview". This module does as you would expect (removes the stock Webview and installs Bromite Webview). But what I learned is once it is installed you can manually update to the newest build as opposed to waiting for the module to update. https://github.com/bromite/bromite/releases

If you use fdroid there's a repo for Bromite.
[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
Bromite is no more on XDA Labs because XDA Labs does still not support (as far as I know) multi-arch, and other issues (lack of automation for the releases etc); I was in contact with the XDA Labs devs about this but there were no replies or feedback for months.

The preferred channel to get updates is the dedicated F-Droid repository: https://www.bromite.org/fdroid

[MENTION=8627832]csagan5[/MENTION] I know you said you're not going to add any feature that's not privacy related or any visual tweaks, but is there any chance that you add chrome extension support for Bromite like kiwi did? Want to know what's your thought on that. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
You have to report the bug to the F-Droid client issue tracker.

Feel free to submit patches for the extensions support; I am not committing to develop any of them.

Since I can not login to GitHub at the moment to create a new issue with the issue template (error: What?! Your browser did something unexpected. Please contact us if the problem persists.) I post it here:

I think the ua string should be updated. Currently we use a Chrome v71 string and showing such an old version has two disadvantages:

1) fingerprinting will be easier, because Chrome is for the majority of users updated automatically and on the newest version, we can not hide between them and become more unique

2) sites checking for version numbers to check if they can use specific functions start to send error messages that the browser is too old and content will not be delivered
[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
See https://github.com/bromite/bromite/issues/156#issuecomment-445454173

Sites doing (2) should use feature detection; feature detection has been suggested as the best practice for the last ~20 years or so.

Is it possible to remove white space when ads are blocked ?

Hope you reply ,because this my third time asking about this with no reply..

If this not possible just tell me it is not because of this or that ..

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] NamitNayan:
well, developer said no cosmetic features.
[Android Apps and Games] Amd4life:
Great job on the fixed user agent and OS mod
[Android Apps and Games] Saelfos Emaka:
I don't see this as cosmetic feature ,as bromite's main focus is on ad blocking !

And my request is surely related to "chromium plus adblocking"
[Android Apps and Games] SgtDork:
Anyone else getting this error with the latest update on fdroid? Have tried clearing fdroid cache but no luck.

Thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] NamitNayan:
Hiding blank spaces, blocks nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] zputnyq:
Yes I got that too.

It's better to download from github/bromite's web
[Android Apps and Games] automatisms:
Yea I was getting this as well however after downloading the appropriate apk from the latest release (76.0.3809.85) on GitHub it installed fine. Not too sure what the issue is with the F-Droid repo (I’ve never experienced any such error before with F-Droid) but the issue has already been reported on GitHub as issue #344 so it can be followed up there. Developer has requested an appropriate F-Droid logcat there to determine what’s going on.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
LOL, he knows that.

You are aware that he is asking if the empty/blank areas from the removed ads can also be removed. You ever been at a page with a lot of blocked ads but the space occupied by those ads are still there? An annoyance, especially when there's quite a few scattered throughout an article.

The ad blocker MinMinGuard, f.i., attempts to remove said blank spaces. That's all he's asking, whether the dev will or will not consider such an "enhancement" to the ad blocking.

And hiding white space is a cosmetic thing :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] NamitNayan:
hope so.

no,or maybe they never annoyed me much.(use kiwi but with it's AdBlock disabled,and host based adblocking.)

I think Dev answered before he won't have the feature.(or probably the readme file has that info too.)

Can't say about current instance.

Query : Bromite & IDM+ integration

Hello Fellow Users of Bromite,

A query... is there a way to integrate bromite with IDM+/other download manager in Android.

Say, when we download files in bromite, there is no option to download via download manager, IDM+ etc. Whereas all browsers like Firefox etc give this option.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
Integration would be nice as I'm so used to clicking a link and having options how to download. That said, I use Advanced Download Manager whose service is running. Long press a link and choose to copy link address automatically brings up ADM's dialog. Works most of the time except for some downloads behind buttons or whatnot.

Hi guys

I want to change the default download location. I tried in the settings but the choice is locked at the download folder and I tried looking at the chrome flags for the Enable downloads location change but without any luck. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Tommytommy1234:
Enable in Bromite settings> Downloads>"ask where to save files" and should work now.

I tried this I only have the option to select the downloads folder.
[Android Apps and Games] Tommytommy1234:
That's strange. Try to reinstall bromite. Is should be like this:
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
I see what you mean. Even though I'm not on Bromite proper right now, I also don't get the option to select a location with v76. To be honest I haven't checked recent previous versions as I always use a download manager. I'll have to check the other ROMs running Bromite/Chromium.

[Android Apps and Games] lopman:
Yes this is exactly what I get. I've tried previous versions but still the same option.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
Also just noticed the same in the download dialog itself. On v74. I suppose the "Ask where to save files" doesn't work as we expect.

None of my custom ROMs run Google Chrome so I'll have to boot into a stock ROM and see if it has the same behavior.

EDIT: Okay, it's a Chrome/Chromium thing. Google Chrome v74 has the same behavior.

I do believe it's working fine. The version reported should be v74, not the actual version. Also you'll notice in the useragent strings your device is reported as a Samsung model. That means it's working.

Hi guys, I'm new here. I installed bromite and I have a problem. When I move through the web pages, screen breaks or freezes are generated for an instant.

This is very annoying and at times the browser becomes unusable.

Any suggestions or help to correct that?.

Thanks

Did you do reboot to recovery and clear dalvic cache?
[Android Apps and Games] Adrian1983xda:
Sorry but I am not understanding you. I'm new to bromite. and I also don't use the English language correctly. What I did is install bromite (arm64_ChromeModernPublic.apk) then I stressed it on my phone and tried on a web page and that problem occurred.

Maybe I should install something else or configure something specific.

I need help, I think it's a very good browser but I can't use it that way.

Ok. I'll try. but I commented that I installed it a few days ago (I didn't know this browser) and the problem presents it from the beginning.

Now I am going to clear the cache and restart the application to see what results I get.

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

It did not work! Steps: in bromite settings "delete browsing data", Then in the configuration of my phone - applications - bromite - memory - "delete cache", And finally in the same configuration "stop application".

I joked again, tried Twitter and Facebook and everything remains the same. It becomes unusable due to the large number of arrests or freezing that the screen presents when I slowly slow down the application.

I like bromite but I need help to solve this. I use a Huawei mate 9 with Android 8.0.0

Please can you be clearer in the explanation. I want to use bromite!

My English language is not the best. Maybe I am misunderstanding your explanation.
[Android Apps and Games] SnowFuhrer:
Bro, sorry, I can't explain any further. Do you know what a recovery is??!! I don'tknow if webview has anything to do with it, but try updating it.

okay. thank you very much friend. I don't understand what you mean by recovery!

I will wait for the next updates to see if it improves.

Thanks for your help!
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
If your phone is not rooted it is understandable if you are not familiar with things like recovery or wiping dalvik.

Do any other browsers lag or stutter? It doesn't seem to be an issue for others that I recall.

//chrome/newtab question...

While exploring Bromite (Great work, btw! Donated on the Bromite page), I found this: //chrome/newtab. clicked on it and got this:

How can I edit this page? I've done some searching and haven't come across its location.

Thank you,

bojaggle
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
That is the New Tab Page (aka NTP) at chrome-native://newtab which automatically accumulates recently/frequently visited bookmarks (until there are 4? rows). By design Bromite restricts the other invasive stuff that might appear here in regular Chrome/Chromium. There is a setting which allows you to select a home page of your choosing and use it for new tabs and there may be a few tweaks which can be done in chrome://flags. Apart from those minimal tweaks or some more advanced theming there may not be many ways to configure that page.
[Android Apps and Games] Adrian1983xda:
I return with my problem, I can not solve the problem that freezes or has page breaks when scrolling through the web pages.

I have given all the permissions to bromite to try and I am not lucky either.

I want to use this browser but I can't! Please help.
[Android Apps and Games] SnowFuhrer:
Download chrome canary. Then enable developer options and change the webview to chrome canary. See if that does anything.
[Android Apps and Games] Adrian1983xda:
First of all thank you for responding. I have very little technical knowledge and English is not my primary language. Be patient because it is hard for me to understand sometimes

You want to say that I downloaded from the Chrome Canary Play Store and then it would tell me the developer options in my phone settings. On this site should you find an option to change the webview?

Confirm this procedure!
[Android Apps and Games] Adrian1983xda:
No news, I just tried following the steps you suggested. Unfortunately it did not improve.

I still can't navigate the breaks and stops when scrolling through the pages. I will wait for the next version of bromite to see if the situation improves

No.

Firefox lite will use bromite's webview, if it is your default webview.

My problem is that I really don't know how to set bromite system webview as default.

I successfully download the file, once downloaded, I press "finish" but then I can't use it.

The file is actually found in the download folder of my phone but it does not appear in the webview settings.

Configuration-developer options-system web View: only google webview appears here.

I also tried installing Chrome canary and in this case the option to change to canary webview appears.

I do not know how to do.

[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
[MENTION=9762617]Adrian1983xda[/MENTION], I assume you are on an OEM stock ROM. If so then you more than likely cannot use Bromite webview as these ROMs seem to support only Google's products. More info here...

https://github.com/bromite/bromite/wiki/Installing-SystemWebView

Since you are not rooted you cannot try alternate methods such as the Bromite Magisk module and/or AnyWebView Xposed module.

FYI :

A while ago Mozilla stopped development on Firefox for Android / Fennec ( which is in maintenance mode only; F-Droid build recommended since it strips most of Mozilla's analytics and telemetry.. ) to shift all resources to the new Firefox for Android / Fenix :

https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/

Some highlights of this new Firefox for Android ?

# about:config no longer available.

# Extensions no longer supported.

# Access to file:// to be entirely removed :

https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/4049

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1563422

No more playing local media files, no more opening local images, txt or html files, no more testing / running local web sites, no more running local web applications or wikis, no more receiving content shared from any other application...

They've clearly lost their minds, I guess ?

Bromite may very well soon be the only privacy focused, fully functional open source browser on Android left standing.

I'd suggest taking a look at the donation options to support development right now.
