I installed the free version to try it out and really like the version on google play. When i installed from. F-droid the ui is totally different.

If the interface has changed with you be retaining the old version as well? I actually prefer the interface in 3.0.5a

Hi,

I am working in an app for which we have a requirement of rendering Adobe Flash Ads to be played within the app. The app is developed using PhoneGap. The app is deployed on Samsung Tab 3 which runs on Android 4.2. As you might be already aware, Android has stopped support for flash from 4.2 onwards. Couple of questions:

• Is there any way we can run Flash Ads using Lightning Browser within our app?
• Is there any way we can use Lightning Browser within Cordova instead of the Webkit Engine?
• Any other suggestion to achieve the above mentioned requirement?

Any suggestion on this will be really helpful.

Thanks,
Leena

While you're watching a Youtube video on Lightning Browser and press the back-key, the video doesn't close, so you have to forward the video til the end and from there you can go back.

I have tested on Android 2.3.6 and 4.2.1 and I got the same problem.

This is not possible with 3.0.6. Worked fine with previous version.
Got messsge that none is available. I use CM 10.1 with ASOP Browser.

Hi,
When i connect a Wifi network using captive portal at 1.1.1.1 (no comment ...), Android launch Lightning-Browser to specific URL, but failed to connect (webpage not available).

If i cut and paste URL in Chrome i have the page (certificate is auto-signed but not expired) and i can confirm login.

Let me know, if you want me to do more test.
Thanks

Miss some strings: "History Cleared" and "Cookies Cleared" and "x Bookmarks were imported" are not available in original translation file.

Hi. You don't add support v4 lib on project. Please, reload sourse.

It would be awesome to see some more options like the (advanced setting) 'Clear cache on exit'.

I would love to see the two other points 'Clear history on exit' and 'Clear browser cookies on exit'.

I don't know if there have to be single points for that, which overload the settings menu. IMHO some kind of sub point, like the midori (desktop) browser has, could do the trick:

Hello,

I like your work a lot, but unfortunately I cannot build the newest version of the browser when compiling CyanogenMod from source.

Usually I pack all stuff into the build process according to their "right way" on the wiki

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_adding_your_own_app#The_.22right.22_way:_Make_a_part_of_the_build_repository_so_it_auto-builds

Unfortunately Lightning-Browser is missing the Android.mk to build successfully.

Could you have it the way that it can be built directly into a custom rom?

Thanks again! Great job!

Hey, is it me or is there a version 3.0.8 on Google Play with no source?

Thanks!

If I long press an image which is a hyperlink, the "Download" option downloads the link target, but not the image itself (effectively acting as "Save link"). It would be nice to have "Save image" option in the popup too. Perhaps "Download" may be also renamed to something less ambiguous. I use v3.1.1a from F-Droid.

If you are watching a mobile webpage, it is supposed that you only have to scroll up and down. But in Lightning most of mobile webpages have a little piece of pixels that overlaps the page width, so the 100% width CSS property doesn't work in Lightning.

Hey. I'm still building my project on old sourse. I can not solve the problem with the release of the full-screen videos and games. Please help me. Thanks in advance!

I would like to could sort my bokmarks in my own order.

The best way would be in Folders like Dolphin Browser.

Thank you
Mike

The barebones class has introduced a number of private objects such as main and pageId, which cannot be found, causing compilation errors. See 0cd7d6d#commitcomment-3532993

Using commit 611e839, when I exit the app, a few seconds later I get this crash. This is on Android 18.

I'm using a custom Android ROM. I've set the option, that a long press on my back button will kill the (foreground) app.

So I just can kill the Lightning-Browser app or clear it though the recent applications view.
In both cases I don't know if the (advanced settings) point 'Clear cache on exit' works well.

It would be great to have a regular exit functionality, like a menu point or something.

Hi, how about using the startpage.com mobile site?

When I choose to "Open in new tab", a new tab appears, but it is blank. Furthermore, the content of that tab appears in the old tab instead.

Hello. I found this app:
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=128383 (4PDA)
http://adfree.bigtincan.com/ (official site).
I can use this based?
Example:
127.0.0.1 blockurl.org
Thank you.

On some websites they have a "Choose File" button. In chrome it brings up options to upload from different places.

Will this be a feature? Or how could somebody implement it?

Thanks.

Hi,

When closing a video from fullscreen the lightning-browser closes it self.
I can prevent the browser from closing it self if I have more than one tab open, but then the tab that the video was opened from closes. Which then makes sense that the browser will close when there is only one tab open.
Is there a solution that prevent the tab from closing when exiting the fullscreen video mode?

Best regards
Jeff

Currently, the app waits for the user to stop pressing the tab to close it. It'd be nice if it closed after the long press is detected.

It would be nice if the bookmarks could be deleted and reordered by a long click on them.

Pls consider placing the new tab to the right of the existing tab, which is the convention of other browsers. Thanks.

I love the 'Incognito Tab'. That's the initial reason why I'm using Lightning-Browser.

Most the time, I start the app and after that I switch to a new incognito tab. If I understand that behavior correctly, at this point are 2 browser instances opened. It would be sooo great, if there could be created a way, to start the browser in incognito mode or just start an incognito tab instantly.
Cool would be a setting like 'always start (in) incognito mode/tab' or something.

Please, tell me why this will not be pulled from the Play Store like all other ad-blockers before it?

Should be /mnt/sdcard/Download

Hi, as you know, we can press the back button to close a tab. I noticed that if a new tab is completely off screen---just the tab, not the reading panel of course---the page itself doesn't disappear until I scroll the tab back in view.

To reproduce, from this page http://mobile.newsnow.co.uk/h/, open three links as new tabs. (If you choose links from a red section, they will open as new tabs automatically.) Now while the third page showing, but its tab is off-screen, just press back. You'll see that the page doesn't go away. However, if you scroll to the tab, the page would then disappear when the tab is back in view.

Thanks.

Am pretty sure previously a long click allowed me to delete, no?

Trying to troubleshoot my issue at hand. I'm using AIDE on my Nexus 5 to compile. No issues there. However when launched, Incognito tab and settings crash the app.

When downloaded from the play store I have no issues at all.

I looked through issues (might have overlooked something) but I did not see anything related.

Any suggestions? Other then that, it works amazingly. Thanks.

I've noticed if I play HTML5 videos (they wont open using Gallery but it would be great to have such feature) the videos wont play in full screen: video would froze, while sound would continue to play normally. There's no way to continue playing videos, and sometimes app would even crash.

Examples: http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_video_all or any YouTube video.

Note: I don't have flashplayer installed.

Edit: Android 4.2.2 on Prestigio PAP3350DUO.

While built-in support for TOR/Orbot is nice, the popup on each start is kinda annoying. Instead, there should be an option either in the menu or in the settings to enable TOR. Said option should also be kept between restarts.

Since the interface is already integrated in the strings, I was wondering if it could be possible to add support to the java files. I may help integrate, but it would modify much of the java files. Also, it may be uselful to modify the name of some strings.
eg. history for History instead of using menu_history since we would need to reuse the same values.

Also, how do we activate the easter egg :p

I get a force close when I open this page: www.androidpolice.com/2014/05/09/rumor-google-exploring-home-screen-overhaul-with-revamped-notification-shade-recents-menu-and-more/

Maybe because the GIF in that page.

I disabled the "Store Passwords" option, but a password I inserted before that is still stored by the browser. What I would expect:

• A possibility to Delete all / some of the stored passwords
• Upon disabling "Store Passwords" a dialog asking to delete all stored passwords
• A possibility to view stored passwords

In order to deal with security and privacy issues in Android's WebView component, consider switching to Firefox's GeckoView:
http://www.ncalexander.net/blog/2014/07/10/build-your-own-browser-a-maven-repository-for-geckoview/

When you clear History from settings menu. Then when you go to History, it still remains there.
If you close and open LIghtning Browser again, history clears, but if you go to the Google webpage and start typing on the search bar, you'll notice that your previous searches are still there. So history doesn't clear at all.

I get download error when I try to download .pdf or .txt files from Moodle platform.
It downloads a .pdf file with the HTML code of the request, and not the file itself.

From the site newsnow.co.uk for example, when i open several links eventually i get the search page, rather than the page i want.

Not clear how many links i need to open. In my current test, the second link had this problem. In a previous test, I think it happened right away on the 1st link.

Not sure what happened, but now the value appears as /mnt/sdcard//mnt/sdcard/Download.

I thankful using the 'Block Ads' option. I just would be more comfortable, if I would know which filter list this option uses and how often that will be synchronized (and from where)...

I personally like to use the lists 'Easy Pricacy + EasyList' because Easy Privacy is responsible for web tracking blocking.

I could imagine, that an option to switch (or add) the filter list would be a great feature for more people than just me.

PS: Thanks for your enthusiasm to working on that awesome browser project!

Like Firefox and chrome, it would be nice to be able to block third party cookies.

Is it a bug when a plugin can play in backgroung if view is on an other tab?
To reproduce it, go to youtube (try WebM or flash, both work), play a video and open a new tab. Finally press home button. The plugin will still be active.

It's not a bad thing because you can actually play youtube vids in background ;)
But if you have let's say 20 tabs open with animation playing, it's taking UC and memory for nothing.

How about an option for a 'Dark UI' ?
That's the only one I really miss ;)

Hi

I dwnloaded it from fdroid and it is trying to connect to bunch of ips in the range of above ip for no apppearant reason, like no real tabs open. Not sure if it is part of the code or the person compiled embedded malicious code

Thanks
