It seems fixed with upcoming release 63.0.3239.144.

On another topic: just tried again publishing on XDA Labs, they do not support ARM64 uploads (it crashes their server, been going on for months now) and they require a valid signing key apparently; I might as well publish on Google Play Store instead.

Could you do something about the recaptcha they are annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] Diegc5:
when will you updated?

Thanks!!!

Does anyone knows why the apk size for arm64 is higher.( same to the source code)?

Chromium does not block all ads. It only blocks ads that Google deem to intrusive and abusive. Bromite on the other hand uses filter lists from reputed sources to blocks lots of ads you might encounter when browsing.
[Android Apps and Games] Chrisbren:
It's stated on Bromite v77 released note

" Bromite v77 has been released and switches to the native Chromium adblock engine "

How would this affect performance or effectiveness of adblock ?
[Android Apps and Games] CarbonGTR:
It would most likely improve. The older one was based off of NoChromo and upto V76 Bromite's adblocker was based of it. NoChromo is a old, outdated chromium browser too.
[Android Apps and Games] Adrian1983xda:
I tried the new Chrome flag "tab group" to group tabs in bromite and it works.

The problem is that having Chrome duet activated, the bottom bar disappears. "Chrome duet" and "tab group" cannot live together.

I don't know if it's a joke problem, or it's set by Chrome to work like this.
[Android Apps and Games] CarbonGTR:
If it's a flag, Then most likely it is experimental. It will get fixed in future versions :good:
[Android Apps and Games] xk0niR:
Anyone else got problems with ADBLOCK with latest Webview (v77)? Switching back to v76 and ADS in apps are gone again.

Any idea? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Adrian1983xda:
Thanks,friend!
[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
Battery information is not reported to any website, I can try looking into this but the normal procedure is to submit a feature request on Github.

I have looked into this in the past; they should be working, you have to test with Chromium as well.

The engine is the same but Bromite uses the filters mentioned in the project README and does not whitelist any party.

The new addition in v77 is the Bromite AdBlock Update service, which was developed to allow filter updates without the need of re-downloading the APK.

See also: https://github.com/bromite/bromite/wiki/AdBlocking

The engines were already very similar; the Chromium adblock engine also has CSS element hiding rules support, which is an improvement.

NoChromo was based on the Javascript AdBlockPlus codebase (an old one, probably), Bromite engine was based on NoChromo engine but underwent various performance improvements and feature additions over its existence.

The Chromium engine is also rooted on AdBlockPlus (same rules format), but it's more performant simply because it has been optimised to run on IO threads, so it provides a less sluggish navigation experience.

It's supposed to work; can you submit a bug report on Github? Perhaps the SystemWebView also switched to NetworkService in v77 and that's bypassing the internal adblocker.
[Android Apps and Games] Adrian1983xda:
With respect to push notifications, when the request window on the web car emerges, it must be approved or denied, but the window is frozen. It does not allow me to perform any action.

Then when you go back, the window disappears but notifications for that site are blocked.

It happens to me with all the sites I've tried.

[Android Apps and Games] Fruitrat:
Is the bromite repo down?

I cant get the repo to sync and fdroid.bromite.org seems to have gone black-hole since at least yesterday, I cannot even ping the server. Should I wait with installing the magisk module until it comes back online?
[Android Apps and Games] RockyTV:
Did something change related to SSL certificates? I can't access any website with an invalid certificate anymore, there's no option to ignore the warning.
[Android Apps and Games] Fruitrat:
It is not ssl related, the server is completely offline, not returning a single packet of data. I checked from 2 different ip's.

The cetificate issue you describe likely applies to sites that have http strict transport security (hsts) enabled. Otherwise the option to proceed appears when you click 'learn more' in chrome.
[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
Looks like so; I contacted the provider but I will likely move it away as it has been terrible so far.
[Android Apps and Games] Adrian1983xda:
Does anyone have the same problem as me with the issue of push notifications? . I exposed it in a previous comment. When the window to accept notifications on a website emerges, the screen is immediately locked without being able to do anything else. I can only go back and do not accept them.

I appreciate help to solve it.
[Android Apps and Games] RockyTV:
You can host your repo on GitLab, I think. Check out rfc2822 on GitLab, they host a repository serving pre-built Firefox apks.

Please have option to move address bar to bottom

I loved your works. Thanks for your hardwork. But please have an option to move address bar to bottom (like kiwi browser)

It will be great for one handed uses.
[Android Apps and Games] Dyt199412syam:
Did u mean address bar in the bottom? Maybe this can helps you a little, just access "chrome://flags" and enable "chrome duet" on it. Then restart your bromite. The search button will moves to the bottom.
[Android Apps and Games] Fruitrat:
I have no chrome installed, using opengapps nano. Maybe that is the difference.
[Android Apps and Games] akib.javed:
Oh it worked. Great!!! :angel:

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

Can I use any extension on bromite? If not, then is it better for privacy than Firefox with config/extension?
[Android Apps and Games] Dyt199412syam:
No, bromite is based on chromium for android, and chromium for android does not support extension yet. And if u ask for better or not, i dont know, LoL. Both of them have pros and cons! Like firefox for androit, it has no dns-over-https and chromium for androit has no extension. So, take your choice. I, personally choose bromite as it is already adblock enabled with dns-over-https (DoH is a great feature).

3dit:

I dont like google as they actually tracking their users for advertisement (actually, if you have google services installed on your phone, they can track all of ur activity on ur phone, very sad). But i still try to restrict their tracks on me by using duckduckgo search engine on my bromite, so they can not track my browsing activity.
[Android Apps and Games] akib.javed:
Help me getting DoH

Can you give me easy DoH tutorial?
[Android Apps and Games] Dyt199412syam:
Access "chrome://flags" then type "dns over https". Click it and choose cloudflare (recomended) and restart your bro-mite.
[Android Apps and Games] custon3:
I don't think that's the problem. When you update, you replace the old apk with the new apk in system / app / webview? apart from also installing the new version of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Adrian1983xda:
Despué After a long time I managed to solve the problem of pop-up windows for confirmation of push notifications on websites! The good news is that it is not a problem of Bromite and it did influence an application that was blocking the window!

After this, I was able to correctly configure the notifications for the websites I want, Giving the necessary permissions and priorities to make it work properly.

There the problem returned, the notifications do not warn, neither the notification point, nor the notification banner, nor the sound of the notification. All configured to make this happen but no. Private with the latest version on github.

I can’t do it anymore! I tried Chrome and they work correctly with identical settings.

I am very sorry that you cannot have this characteristic in Bromite. I hope someone reads it and gives me a solution.
[Android Apps and Games] Fruitrat:
I did not update, it was my first install.

Today I removed the magisk module, reboot, removed the user app, reboot and started again from scratch. Installed the magisk zip, reboot immediately as instructed, test and see ads, installed same version as user app on top of the system app, ads again. I just cant get it to block ads, but otherwise it works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Dyt199412syam:
As far as i know, there is no way for webwiew to block ads. Please start to learn about bromite-webview in https://bromite.org, there is no statement webview can block the ads on all of your apps installed on your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] custon3:
I do not install magisk module.

I install with the wiki instructions:

( Installation with root file manager or TWRP )

And it works perfectly for me.

Is there any way to browse bookmarks on homepage? I can't organise my home page properly. It is created automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] tokoam:
So I have bromite installed and in developer options under webview it does show bromite .Do I also need to download the bromite browser after installing it via magisk ?
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
No. The Bromite browser is a separate item unrelated to the webview. Meaning it doesn't use the webview to render pages. Bromite/Chrome/Chromium, and related render pages internally.

Essential PH-1, /e/OS 0.7-n ROM, microG (NoGapps), XDA Legacy

Bromite v77+ suggestions or requests

Of all the browsers I've tried on my new device, I've liked Bromite the best, Kiwi 2nd & things like Via 3rd (different app).

But I wonder if the developer could tweak a few things?

1-Add a way to sort Bookmarks (alphabetical at least for the folders & bookmarks, or custom drag & drop, or both?). Importing bookmarks also creates a second main folder. Manually moving the sub folders into the Mobile Bookmarks main folder creates an unsorted mess. Or I'm missing something.

2- Add an option to STOP the auto add of a bookmark icon to a tab / home page. I looked in all settings & flags but can't figure out how to stop this auto adf function. PLEASE! My home tab is set as: about:blank, by choice. I do not want icons there & have to keep removing them.

3- Add or allow the user to add a button for cache clearing, like Kiwi or DDGo on the address bar vs digging through settings?

4- Add the cache clearing option to the user selected Exit function. It seems that Bromite may clear some of the cache this way, but not all of it & no info found to explain if any or all of the cache(s) is or isn't cleared.

5- Add user app settings export or backup? and could you explain the function of & ideally add user control of "...storage>User Data" as seen in size growth under settings>bromite>app info? Why does the user data keep growing if the user settings & bookmarks in terms of data originally use so little space. Kiwi is horrid, adding double that of Bromite & the only user control is to delete it all & lose settings & bookmarks & not all settings are returned via the back up. Other browser apps are even worse in how the user data bloats with no user control.

Bromite offers no User Settings back up or export. Why not?

I wish I could help, I'd add these functions if I knew how, but my knowledge is pretty basic.

Anyway, really appreciate your even creating Bromite & being allowed to use it as is. The ad blocking makes the internet usable & the privacy is just anti Google, which I'm trying to rid my world of. I will try to add a donation at least. Many thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
It's better to use the OEM webview than an old one, you will be vulnerable to the security problems of v76+

The magisk module is not an official Bromite project, it is mentioned nowhere on the official website or README

I don't think there is any order feature in upstream Chromium bookmarks?

Go to settings -> home page and select "Use for new tabs"

Incognito mode is the way to go if you would want to continuously clear cache/history.

The issue tracker is here: https://github.com/bromite/bromite/issues

You can check about current and past issues and report new ones.

User app settings export/backup would be an Android feature, not specific to any app. For the user data usage refer to Chromium.
[Android Apps and Games] MasterUK:
Hello,

It's there any option to enable the autofill framework from Android?

By example this screenshot it's from a new installed and clean Firefox. It autocomplete the password without any previous browser password sync

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] MasterUK:
Also please confirm, it's correct that bromite v77 uses chromium v74? Or its just an user agent outdate

It's based on chromium v77 with useragent set to v74. You can check the version by typing chrome://version under address bar.

[Android Apps and Games] Angelos N.:
The current webview is not compatible with SDK 29 (when I install it as a system app it does not give me the option to select it as the default webview). I have tried to install with 3 methods(1.TWRP copy and paste webview file to /system/app and then install the apk/2.using root and a file manager using a similar copy and paste technique as the previous/3.made a flashable zip) into 3 different roms(Pixel Experience/NitrogenOS/KrakenOS).
[Android Apps and Games] glavinstone:
I read in the nanodroid thread that webview on Android 10 may need to be installed into /system/product/app
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
Ah, yes. I don't run Q so that bit didn't register in my dusty brain. Mentioned here...

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=80535933

I will assume the standalone webview installer is also updated so that might work.

Moto G5 Plus XT1687, Tipsy ROM v6.8, NanoDroid, MultiROM, XDA Legacy
[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
I think that for Android Q the Monochrome build would be necessary to install also the SystemWebView; however such SystemWebView would also not have any adblocking capability.

[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
Yes, the reported user agent version is updated from time to time to match a common one.

The upstream bug report for this issue was https://github.com/bromite/bromite/issues/201 please read there about my findindgs back then.

If there is some functionality that works with Chromium but not with Bromite, then it means it is related to the Play Store integration, which Bromite removes. Feel free to investigate on that.

Same here, only Play Store and cloud integrations are disabled.

This article is FUD; there is really not much to say about DoH.

I will make a summary:

DoH is better than cleartext DNS

DoT is also better than cleartext DNS

sending all your DNS queries to a central DNS (Google, Cloudflare etc) might be bad

So we can argue for long about the last point (central DNSes which you might already be using with 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4/1.1.1.1 etc), but no one is forcing you to use them, and at least now you have a (limited) choice. There is just currently little choice because there are not many reputable public DoH endpoints available.

But I do not accept refusing the first two facts with concerns like "enterprise/home routers/ISP cannot inspect/change my DNS requests anymore now". That's the whole point; by following that reasoning we should all rollback to HTTP and disable TLS now.

[Android Apps and Games] Adrian1983xda:
Hi guys, the latest update is great! Congratulations! The best browser for those who look for Chrome another better and without ads!

My problem, which I mentioned in the opportunity here, has to do with support for push notifications for websites . They don't work for me. The fastest examples without Twitter and Facebook. On Twitter, once the pop-up window request is confirmed, simply "browser not supported". For Facebook, once the pop-up window request is accepted, the screen simply freezes.

I don't know if that is a problem in Bromite or simply not a feature available in this application.

Thank you.

Hi, great job on this browser.

I was wondering if there is some flag, or any other way, to increase the number of "quick access" shortcuts on the intro screen, when you open a new tab. Right now, there are 16 such icons/shortcuts on my intro screen, but I would like to increase this number, and add an extra line of 4 more icons to the screen.

Thanks again for this browser, really appreciate it.
