As you may know, Android 7 "Nougat" users can use Chrome (including beta, dev and canary) builds as relacment for system webview. I'm curious, is it possible to use custom Chromium build that way? I mean, without applying patches to AOSP codebase.

Even when I enable this in Settings. Is this feature even supported by Bromite? If not, my apologies.

64.3278.0 on Android 8.0.0.

Hello

Could you please add the StartPage search engine to the preinstalled ones?
https://www.startpage.com

Thank you

Cannot find any todo/roadmap in this repo. When aprox. is it planned to introduce custom blocking rules? i'd love to import few of my ublock lists and then try to use this browser instead of so—so firefox.

It should be possible to support rules which target third-party loaded resources.

Exactly what are pre-releases?

There are sites that won't work with ad-blocking enabled. It would therefore be good with an option to exclude sites. I'm not talking about rules, just a simple option to exclude sites.

Not sure whether to install ChromeModernPublic ChromePublic MonochromePublic on my Androd 7 phone. Just a user so this is not obvious to me.

How do you feel about an integration of these patches?

https://github.com/CopperheadOS/chromium_patches

Since we aren't allowed to log in to Google would it be possible to remove the Google nag regarding this from Bromite? No need to be urged to do something they won't let us do anyway.

Hi,

I noticed two connections to Google servers while Bromite wasn't running in the foreground.

(And today 172.217.21.228 which is also Google).
DuckDuckGo has been set to the default search engine and I didn't use Bromite when these have been established.
Can the filters/patches be strengthened?

Cheers!

All Google Sync failed now! :-( Please make package name as org.chromium.chrome
As now is org.bromite.bromite it's very bad idea for Google Sync.

It appears that all links (at least with Android 8) are opened in a dumb custom tab mode.

For reference: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/145745/prevent-apps-opening-links-in-chrome-custom-tabs-i-e-open-in-default-browser-d

Force Bromite to never use such mode.

Bromite is currently using Chromium's package name, it should use its own so that users can install it side by side with regular Chromium.

Why no arm64 monochrome build for 3282.168?

The Amazon Fire HD 10 is a Fire OS 5.6 tablet, meaning it's roughly an Android Lollipop tablet. It is a 64-bit device. Compatibility with normal Android Lollipop apps is usually very good.

Downloading the current ARM64 Lollipop (SDK21) build, as recommended for this device by bromite.org, and attempting to install it results in a standard "App not installed" error.

The standard ARM build does install without complaint.

I'm not rooted or anything but if there's anything I can run without root to get necessary diagnostic information (i.e. something more helpful than "App not installed"), feel free to suggest it.

EDIT: Ran a benchmarking app which reports that the Fire HD 10 runs on Android 5.1.1 (32-bit). I assume this is the issue--the processor is 64-bit, but with 32-bit Android I imagine 64-bit apps can't be installed?

EDIT2: This XDA-Developers thread about the Fire HD 8 seems to suggest something a bit different:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/help/amazon-compile-32-bit-instead-64-bit-t3754149

It's actually a weirdly compiled 64 bit version, which has 32 bit as properties in build.prop (armv7 vs arm64, or something like that). [...] The whole thing is a bit of a mess.

Strangely enough, this tablet 'can' run 64-bit native libraries.

Hello

Wouldn't it be nice if Bromite was in some sort of an app-store so we can receive updates for it automatically?
I guess the F-Droid app-store would be a great place for this app.

Thank you

arm_ChromeModernPublic.apk can't be installed - it reports error, that app can't be installed.

also, apk version didn't change in 64.0.3282.204. it's still 64.0.3282.193, and the build number is even lower - 1519522724.

One big thing I am missing in Bromite is to customize disable / enable javascript on each site/domain, like Noscript or Umatrix.

Is it possible to add it to Bromite?

Would be amazing!

By going to 🍔 -> About the reported version is Chrome's Canary version.

Android app instead reports correct version.

Hi dev, I'm an arm64 8.0 user, so I'm using the latest monochrome public build which has integrated webview.
The issue is that if I disable the android system webview, this webview isn't working whenever required. On the other had if I install the normal Google chrome it handles all webviews even if system webview is disabled.
Thank you.

"Sign in again to start sync."
I signed in about 5 times and the same error appears.

Sometimes i want to share a URL to my browser to display it there. Other browsers appear in the Share menu but Bromite doesn't. I hope that can be fixed or added if considered a feature request.

In a sort of self-cannibalization feature breakage, DevTools do not work anymore for remotely debugging Chrom* browsers since M63.

More info here: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=489954

Is the version available here the same as I get on XDA Labs? Do they update at the same time?

v63.0.3239.129 will not load pages on my Moto G5 Plus running Android 7. The previous build runs without problems. With the latest build I just get connection error asking me to check the network connection.

I really like the browser and using it. I am really looking for night mode feature like caf based browsers have. Any plan to include the night mode feature .

Study how to add some canvas randomisation feature

Dev can you please look into this? https://beebom.com/vpn-leak-ip-address-webrtc-bug/
I'm not sure whether our browser its patched against it, there a link under this where I can check whether my browser is vulnerable too, but I was unsuccessful in conducting the test properly.
Thank you.

Instead of the Google-provided AMP results, show links to regular search results.

Long pressing on the "The Decline of Wikipedia" search result shows me the Google redirect link instead of the real one.

The click-tracking removal is incomplete; the href needs to be adjusted.

I get connection errors and warnings when connected to certain public Wi-Fi networks like McDonald. Unfortunately I depend on those connections. Is there a way to get Bromite to work with insecure Wi-Fi networks like that.

Samsung's internet browser for Android recently added a dark mode feature and it works quite well. Is it possible to add something similar?

This issue composes of multiple parts:

• a new tab/UI to manage the adblocking feature will not implement this
• logic to download the adblock filters and store them
• logic to parse the adblock filters (or an intermediate format)
• users can of course customize where the adblock filters come from (URLs)

The projects we could look at are adBlock and uBlock origin and other browsers that implement such functionality.

Chromium v63 breaks build when webRTC is disabled; to get going, I will build it but disable it by default as explained here: https://github.com/copperhead/bugtracker/issues/521

WebRTC needs to be disabled because of leakage of network address and UUIDs, as an user reported on XDA forums.

The button left to the URL​ (secured = padlock, not secured = exclamation mark) will crash Bromite.

Using ARM version on Android​ 6.0.

Hi,
When downloading arm build for Nougat and above, arm_MonochromePublic.apk is automatically selected.
What are the differences with arm_ChromeModernPublic.apk and arm_ChromePublic.apk?

Thank you.

Hi,

First of all: Nice work! Keep going with this project!

When i try to update the installed app an error occurs. "APK isn't compatible with the installed one". I took the right version of the APK (it's a little bit confusing though^^). Nevertheless, I tried the other APK to check if anything happens. Same thing. Had to reinstall the app to apply the update.

Any ideas?

Have to check it again, with the new release.

Thank you very much!

Google search sub categories ("All, Images, Video, News, etc") disappear after a search is executed. Duration it momentarily shows: variable - until the webpage is fully loaded (e.g. slower connection shows it longer); sub categories then become cropped, link text no longer shows, some categories can be utilized by clicking in the tiny space above the link text.

Bromite Settings show: Application Version - Bromite 65.0.3284.0

Would be nice to have these patches integrated as well. At least some of them, although they may be a bit outdated in general.

It is a France-based company that says being respectful of users' privacy.

It should be possible to add it in Bromite.

Like in title - no pop up like in android/pc version asking do you want translate this page. Guys please ,thats only one thing i must keet 2 browsers (this and chrome stable).
I have latest arm lollipop version.

This might require disabling powersaving mode when playing videos

It seems that v64.0.3282.168, with the disabled signin logic, is able to crash Play Services.

Similar to #19, which is now fixed. Suggestions work fine on duckduckgo, Bing, and other engines, just not on the newly added startpage.

When I'm watching twitch streams with bromite browser all the streams are lagging a lot, and I'm skipping frames like crazy. I don't have this issue on default chrome browser.

I'm using Arm64 build on nougat 7.0.

I can not enable the Data Saver feature in settings. As soon as I leave the setting and come back it's disabled again. Not that I neccesarily want to use it, but is it disabled for a reason or is it a bug?

In the CAF patchset there was a feature to have an option to toggle always-on incognito mode.

See if it's possible to port it over.

starting from version 63.0.3239.10, Bromite asks for permission to access Google account on every system start, even if Google sync is disabled in settings.
