I don't know which settings i checked but Bromite opens in Incognito mode always which is perfect with me. However the home page does not have any options to pin websites. Is it possible to do this.

Is it also possible that in normal mode all the data can be cleared on exit?
[Android Apps and Games] carlos974:
In private browsing use favorites (little star)

To erase data -> settings -> privacy
[Android Apps and Games] jesrani:
In private browsing mode the star button seems to be disabled.

To erase data everytime through settings - privacy takes more time. Is it possible to have an option to clear all data on exit, or have a dialog Box like Opera when exiting

Is it also possible to have a home page in private mode?

[Android Apps and Games] dfight:
there is no speed dial option like kiwi.

But I found a stupid way to quick add shortcut icon to the bromite home page.

Just copy url and go to home page and paste it to url bar then enter.

And you can see your shortcut appear in bromite home page.

This way will fail while clean cache&dalvik or something else.

My speed dial all gone and only default shortcut exit after I wipe cache maybe.
[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
You can check with adb logcat for the AdBlock log entries.

You need to make a bug report on GitHub about the specific flags.

This issue has been fixed recently.

Good news, I hope more patches are upstreamed.

You can import and export bookmarks.

With next release you can either enable history in incognito mode, or have all cookies cleared on exit.

Not possible, but starting from next release you can enable history in incognito mode.

I have been facing a weird bug for the last couple of builds. Web pages just freeze while browsing and I can no longer scroll. If I close and reopen Bromite, it starts working again.
[Android Apps and Games] Amd4life:
This happens to me too. I click recent, then switch back to bromite and then it unfreezes.
[Android Apps and Games] cbendot:
same issue but this happens not only in bromite, maybe all chromium based get the same issue for now, I tried from chrome, kiwi, official chromium, chromium vanilla from bromite. still get the same issue and it happens in almost all the custom rom that I use.

[Android Apps and Games] xdehh:
One button complete history and cache clearing.

Any way to clear cache and history with just one button press. I've searched flags and forum but can't find how to set it up. I despise the annoying checklist and useless site cache clearing warning. I set up what I want cleared in Settings, but still have to jump through hoops to do it. Reason being is some sites require cache clearing for better functioning and it's a PITA to repeat 3 menu choices when only 1 is needed. Maybe add a user choice setting for one button complete history and all selected cache clearing and no checklist once set and no PITA reminders or warnings?
[Android Apps and Games] Ghisy:
Hi there,

Been using Bromite for a few months now and I was happy with it.

But today, it randomly gives me a "you have been blocked" error on some websites I go to (see the attached screenshot). The weirdest thing is the desktop version of these same websites don't give me this error.

I tried deleting cookies and data for those sites to no avail.

Do you guys have any idea? (I don't use the built-in ad blocker fyi)

Thanks.

Edit: found the culprit, it's 3rd party cookies... If I enable them, it works...

So, I recently switched from kiwi browser and I was wondering if there is any way to directly open a new tab when long pressing the tab numbering button.

I get three options instead in bromite (close tab, new tab, new incognito tab).
[Android Apps and Games] Oddb411:
Running Android 11 on Pixel 3a, noticed that opening downloaded webpages in .mhtml format no longer open in latest Bromite or Chromium builds. I'm guessing this is due to the scoped storage changes? Since it's a niche function, I doubt it will ever get fixed by Chromium team. Just a heads up for anyone else who likes keeping offline webpages saved on their device.

Doesn't affect downloading and opening pages as usual, but will affect opening pages that were previously saved and copied to the device, even if they were copied to the Download folder.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
What happens if you use a file manager with the "open with" or "open as" option and send it to Bromite that way ?
[Android Apps and Games] Oddb411:
Sorry for any confusion. That error in the screenshot above is what happens when using a file manager to "Open with" Bromite. If I download a webpage from within Bromite and open it from the Bromite Downloads page, it works fine. But opening a .mhtml from file manager does not work anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] csagan5:
See https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/11/16/google-chrome-android-long-press-menu-tab-switcher/
[Android Apps and Games] ak097:
I have these 3 options. But I don't want these 3 options to pop up Instead open a new tab when long pressed as it was in previous builds.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
The point was Bromite uses the latest Chromium as base, occasionally even the beta. And that's how Chromium works now. Changing the interface is not really part of Bromite's reason of being, see the OP.

Kiwi as I understand it is stuck on a much older base, and the developer just posts automated maintenance builds through GitHub.
[Android Apps and Games] HerrT:
Did you try to set the tab-switcher-longpress-menu flag to Disabled?

[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
I have a local self-contained web application ( single HTML file ) and I can still open it by doing it through the file manager ( MiX, FX, etc. ) so that still works for me. However, it's definitely a PITA, because now Bromite will not load any dependencies ( also local ) that the HTML file calls, for instance the Japanese font file needed to make it legible and have the correct format.

This trend of browsers crippling local file opening ( hello, Firefox for Android ) is completely irrational. Particularly when security or safety are given as a reason for this. WTF ? Sure, a local file that ※I※ made and connects to ※nowhere※ is much worse than a web site loaded with trackers, data miners, coin miners, malvertising, and malware. Sure.

There's a strange problem:

Using Bromite while charging the phone causes lots of lag and stuttering when browsing. Strangely this issue is only present in a particular custom rom I'm using (resurrection remix). Even more strangely, this issue doesn't happen with other chromium browsers I've tested.

The problem isn't present when not charging phone. Anyone have any suggestions what could cause this? Why this happen only on a particular rom and why bromite only?

[Android Apps and Games] manjaroid:
For the first time I have a Bromite problem I've never seen before and wonder if it's just a bug to ignore until the next release. I'm using a custom ARM64 Pie ROM on a rooted Moto G4 Plus.

Since updating the browser and webview to 88.0.4324.95 (from F-droid repo) bookmarks stopped working. Bookmarks are saved and all show up in the list, but when any are tapped nothing happens. Sites launch fine from the history.

Tried reinstalling with no luck. Tried downgrading to 87.0.4280.131 starting with the webview package (from Github) but the webview apk wouldn't install after reboot. I use the 'root file manager' method of installing webview.

Should I try to fix it or wait?

@csagan5 I hope you read this.

Recently, I was locked/ blocked out of Bromite without any sort of warning or consent. All that I'd did was submitted 2 bug reports which were closed no sooner csagan5 saw it and nothing else.

This has resulted in me, unable to interact with with the Bromite repo, say, cannot submit a feature request for which I've been waiting for about a month now. Locking or blicking a person w/o reason really hurts.(I don't know whether to formal here or not, but'd to say, apologise for that).

It'd be great if you look into the matter and unblock me from the repo.

What is happening when I try to interact with?
