[MENTION=9239666]onehandyapps[/MENTION] Is there anyway to improve web pages reloading when I return to the app?

The issue I have at the moment is that I might have 5 or 6 tabs open and when I return to the app they all need to reload when I switch to the tab. Its sometimes feels worse when I've looked at the web page on great wifi (so the page should now be available as it's downloaded). I'm then out in the country with rubbish network connectivity and then I return to the web page it takes forever/or fails to reload the web page.

I'm using a Pixel XL 3 running Anroid Pie.
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Try turn off battery optimization for OH. I will try for caching... Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:

[Android Apps and Games] Rochey13:
[MENTION=9239666]onehandyapps[/MENTION] I've disabled battery optimization and will test over the next few days, I'll let you know how I get on.

I've got a request, could you implement a custom Search engine option please?

I'm looking into private search engines and am trying different ones, currently I'm trying swisscows but there's no way to use it as the default in OH browser.

Thanks for an awesome browser and keep up the great work!

Running great ? I was a bit confused because the pull down to refresh wasn't working for me.

I tried the old way instead of the style normal browsers handle that feature ?

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

I noticed a bug, using OH on my Fire HD 8 tablet.

If I start the private mode I can't input any letter. Maybe because of forcing the incognito mode of keyboards? If it's missing, input is not working

[MENTION=9239666]onehandyapps[/MENTION] with previous experiment "disable 'open in another' icon in link popup" i like eye(for overview) in left, now is back in right, can you please move to left? i think most users use primary 2 function in LinkPopup:

1. Open via top line (in selected primary method: in bg or fg)

2. Overview

Then is better have Overview left, and for sometime use OpenInSecondMethod have this icon in Right...

OH is not working anymore for me on latest Android Q beta. Just FYI :(

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
What happened?

Crash on startup ?

Have you tried clear data?

Any screenshot or recordings?
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
Android Q beta 3, OH Browser crashing

So I found the solution and it was as always the Android System Webview. I was using the beta from the Playstore v75 and it looks like the latest beta is not compatible with many apps using the Webview.

Currently working v74 & chrome stable and beta Webview. If you use the chrome Webview, just deactivate Android system Webview.

If you have problems but using an older Webview, update to the latest stable one
[Android Apps and Games] Rochey13:
[MENTION=9239666]onehandyapps[/MENTION] I'm testing the current Android Q beta and the new gestures that come with it. It looks like the Oh browser swipe gestures conflict with it.

If I swipe up to close the tab it more often closes the app.

If I swipe to go back a page then this more often switches between apps.

If I aim high on the icons then this seems to help, I don't know if you could raise the bottom bar to overcome the issue when people use the android Q full gesture?

If you want me to help test anything let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Ya, this is true for all apps which has bottom toolbar with gestures, but I am thinking for a new design for OH, immediate solution is raise the bottom bar. I am working on it! I will let you know, if testing needed!

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] DanGLES3:
I will gladly test it if possible,I use full screen gestures and very often I trigger a system gesture while trying to trigger a browser gesture
[Android Apps and Games] Kolio_xda:
Hi Dev. One thing I noticed: in incognito mode you are not logged out of Google. So anything you search for in the address bar remains in your search history. Is that intented? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
It is technical limitation for all web view based browsers. There are two typical solutions:

1) Start a new activity for private mode. But we can't switch to normal mode until all private tabs are closed. It is same as opening another app.

2) Separate private browser.

I've choose (2). That's why OH private browser exists!

Just share the link, choose OH private browser. Boom. We are in private mode. Its that simple! All data will be auto cleared when exit OHP!
[Android Apps and Games] TheBigL:
[MENTION=9239666]onehandyapps[/MENTION] want to start with thanking you for the browsers. Bought them both.

I want to let you know that your browser won the battle royal of mobile browsers... Yes... I have tested personally almost all the browsers in the play store.

Why? Because I am sick sick person and also because I couldn't belive that in 2019 browsers for phones are not taking into consideration how people actually use phones, refusing to evolve from desktop style navigation and usage.

In the end only 2 browsers were actually developed for proper phone usage: yours and Smooz Browser (

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.astool.android.smooz_app.free)

Feel free to steal ideas from it. It has better navigation but is also more buggy.

Now, with the introduction done, here's some ideas that I think will improve your app:

1) Add website icons to history - Can be configurable. It is very hard to navigate history without it.

2) Add scroll bar to history - Just like #1 - It should make navigation easier because now you have a refferance point.

3) Add time stamps to history - Like "Yesterday", "Date X", "A week ago", "Two weeks ago", "Older". Just like #2 - Having a refferance point while searching for something is very useful.

4) Allow icon rearrangement in the navigation bar - I barely use the menu icon yet it is the closest to me. I would much rather prefer having the search icon on the right side in order to have back/forward gestures easier to reach.

5) Auto close the empty page after Google play store redirect - Is there some kind of limitation to this? Chrome/Kiwi browsers do not leave those behind.

For example use your browser to go to your post and press the Google play link of your app.

6) Start typing when new tab is opened - Can be configurable. Usually when a new tab is opened is to search for something. Having the option of new tab opened and ready to type in is the most convenient thing a mobile browser can offer. You can try it in Smooz Browser.

That's it, typing all this from a phone is tiring.

Thanks again for the app and I hope you can implement some of the stuff I mentioned.

Good night.
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Thanks! I've done the same research! :) Also always looking for ways to improve OH. I noted your suggestions. Thank you for your support & suggestions! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] TheBigL:
You're welcome buddy, happy to help.

Btw, I forgot to add an additional something:

It will be nice to have the option of "Open link in new tab and automatically go there" without pressing an additional button.

OH browser opens links in new tab in the background and requires additional button press (On a different part of the screen) to go to that tab (Firefox style).

I forgot which browser did that but it had:

"Open tab" & "Open tab in the background".

It's an easy solution to satisfy most people.

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Options already there...

Long press a link, we have both options!

Hi,

Excellent lightweight browser. One request, Is it ok add an option (can trigger on/off) to keep the browsers in private mode? Thanks. Cos' in some occasions I need the browser to remember the history although most of the time I prefer private mode, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Of course, no changes to this browser, just a new browser that is always private, no history, no bookmarks, auto clear all data when exit by default! That's the idea...

Note: OH is unique, it won't follow others, it has been re engineered from the ground up!

[Android Apps and Games] k3dar7:
- you are planning remove from settings option "fixed toolbar" and have only one fixed/full-width? i hope no :) better be add more option "FullWidth(this now hideable)/Auto(as now in tablet/landscape)/Middle(as now withou check fixedtoolbar)/Left(stay in left as auto while from left swipe)/Right(stay in rightt as auto while from right swipe)"

- is good, your replace in toolbar-popup icon/button for back from "X" to "<-"

~~~

in stable you removed in menu icon for landscape?

edit: btw: i think for full-width be nice show url on toolbar/magnifier as you have in private 1.1.3 PreAlpha

So in case I made some other tests.

Now it's also working with the latest version on my Fire HD tablet (Android 5.1.1). I have reinstalled the old version and upgraded via Playstore to the latest. On my wife's Galaxy S2 Tablet it worked out of the Box (Android 7).

Here with my Pixel on Android Q the problem is still there. So I think your latest version has an issue with Q beta

But before you start searching for the issue I would say let's wait for the next beta release. Maybe it gets fixed its own or there could be a new bug
