browser

A simple Android browser based on webview. The goal is to provide a lightweight but power full browser. It is based on several lists (see below) and hasn't (and will not have) tabs.

Links:

The lists

  • bookmarks
  • history
  • readLater: links not worth to be a bookmark, but at the moment you do not want to read...
  • passStorage: save links withe login data (username, password)

Security/Data

  • enable/disable cookies, javascript, location access, form data
  • whitelist for javascript
  • pin protection
  • toggle image loading
  • offline use
  • backup databases

UI/Handling

  • optimized for one hand handling (omnibox at bottom)
  • Android 7 app shortcuts
  • full material design
  • Navigation through websites: arrows and/or swipe
  • fullscreen browsing (optional)

Search

  • fast search on different websites
  • search on site

Some nice extra features

  • open links in background
  • Websearch (from shared text)
  • screenshots of the whole website
  • build in file browser (open, share, rename, delete files)

What features will not be implemented

  • tabs (I know, it's the normal way, but I have no idea how to implement. I learned all about developing from tutorials, so I'm not as good as you might think...)
  • Ad blocker (there are more than enough apps to do that better)
