These two CVEs affect only the Desktop version of Chromium: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2019/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_31.html

There will be a new release, but it's irrelevant for those two CVEs.

https://github.com/bromite/bromite/issues/400

I am not aware of this feature in Chromium. Do you have a feature link?

Yes, the issue is still open: https://github.com/bromite/bromite/issues/375

I have already increased the rows from the default, but I do not know what will happen if we increase it more on devices with smaller screens.

Is there any way to get the bromite system webview to work on marshmallow when I install it, the webview doesn't work any app that needs it just says that the app has stopped working

([emoji3590]09-09-18[emoji3590])
[Android Apps and Games] PoochyX:
Alright so my webview implementation is com.google.android.webview how do I change the implementation to com.android.webview so bromite can work this is the issue of why I'm not able to get bromite to function...

[Android Apps and Games] Exabyter:
I wonder if someone has a UI trick to get around this problem I've had for quite a while.

If I try to copy the current tab's URL to the clipboard by holding the URL bar (which starts out with the entire URL highlighted), as soon as I long press it to get the popup copy/paste controls, the highlight shrinks to something less than the entire URL and I have to select "Select All" again and then copy again.

I don't want to use the share feature because I am typically copying and pasting multiple page URLs into the same document.

I don't have this issue with any of the 4 other browsers installed on that device. (Running Nougat)

TIA

Opinions Facts :

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

There's all you need to know about Bromite's WebView, including a disclaimer about support for installing it.

Now, please, if you have legitimate issues for development, open the corresponding ticket over at GitHub.
[Android Apps and Games] PoochyX:
I got it installed..

Had to patch framework res so it would support package com.android.webview instead of com.google.android.webview for system webview

Were you able to get around this? I have a lan only server with self signed certificate and can't access the site
[Android Apps and Games] LSS4181:
I tried this on followmsi's Lineage 17 build (20191107) for Pixel C. For some reasons Bromite WebView would not register on Android Q. It will not show up in the available WebView implementations list. This is tested using both NanoDroid BromiteWebView module (22.5, which is already aware of the new path) as well as replacing the apk manually in the system/product/app.

Not sure whether it's compatible now or not, as I tested this only a few weeks ago (when the Lineage 17 build I mentioned just came out). If the problem is not on your end, I'll look into Android Q's source to see what might have caused it, and if the Lineage 17 build in question might be causing it, I'll report the issue there instead.

Use the desktop site switch and leave it on desktop. The video will keep playing in the background.

Edit : Just read the new changelog and the problem was fixed. Still prefer my tip, gives you the fully functional site. ( And background playing on most browsers, not just Bromite. )
[Android Apps and Games] NamitNayan:
I know this.

But it's convenient if enabled by default.

(Managing the desktop mode ui can be difficult sometimes.)

Thanks though.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
This flag apparently doesn't exist anymore :

chrome://flags/#disable-pull-to-refresh-effect

Anybody knows of any other way to disable this extremely intrusive, web-breaking behaviour ?

TIA.

Edit : Maybe it's me, the devices I handle, my hands... But the fact is it keeps getting triggered when it shouldn't. It's annoying when it reloads a page, but it is straight up damaging when it reloads a web application and destroys an ongoing process and / or causes loss of data.
[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
I will add the flag back in next version, it was removed in v75: https://github.com/chromium/chromium/commit/4e598f38a0e6dd3dbede009c6a99b2a520a94e1f

On bromite, the player disappear just after load even disabling the block Ads option.
[Android Apps and Games] NamitNayan:
I know that.
[Android Apps and Games] CarbonGTR:
If you meant over Bromite's webview, It has adblocking capabilities for not just the browser but also the apps that are based on Webview, Like Google News for example. So even more ads will be blocked on your system(Though not all, You need a system wide adblocker for that)

Hi

I am getting a new phone soon which I won't be able to root and I know Google sync doesn't work with Bromite. So, is there any way somebody here knows of backing up Bromite data and restoring to new phone without root please. I usually use Titanium but that won't be an option.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
Feel free to continue the discussion there.

Bromite provides a default selection but any search engine which implements OpenSearch can be added. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/OpenSearch

If your favourite search engine does not implement OpenSearch, ask them to do that.

Instructions to add any search engine (valid also for Chromium): https://github.com/bromite/bromite/wiki/SearchEngines

What's going on with bromite, only one developer? and he doesn't receive and help or love?! Been 2 months now and every update something new get broken and old issues still not fixed, wish I know how to code id have helped :(
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Much of this reply is off-topic but as it seems that you would like to help Bromite and that you might benefit from some general knowledge:

- Many apps have only one developer, and regardless of number of developers the flow of development can vary greatly.

- Many people in this thread and those who submit proper bug reports are indeed showing the app some love and help with viable reports.

- General complaints without any details or verification Typically don't help and are usually frowned upon.

- Most apparent Bromite bugs that I know of are inherited from Chromium. Of course. There may be some actual bugs in Bromite, in which case bug reports would be expected. That's what people who want to help a developer do.

As previously mentioned much of this is off topic but a bug report from you about one of the Bromite-specific issues you've encountered would be on topic (and would have other people joining in to test and help). As you have said some problems have persisted for months, perhaps you could also link back to previous bug reports about those.
[Android Apps and Games] CREEED:
That's what GitHub for buddy, he has a template and all, don't be that dude who goes on Reddit and asks for bug reports only post! SMH, that's not the proper media. After I already submitted a "proper" report on the proper media for it "GitHub" and for few months a new bug being introduced to the build (usually because chromium updates) I was wondering what's going on, and what is a better way to take the news from than forums? Should I go to his house and ask him? Say after me GitHub for "proper" bug reports.. repeat it 10 times and I'll give a candy. Plz don't reply to this and break your own rule of being off topic, DM me or report it and keep it clean from your chitchat plz.
