I have a problem using this browser with my Sony Xperia tablet z (GP312). When I put a video on fullscreen the navigation bar doesn't hide and I can't control video (pause/play or fast forward). I include a screenshot of the navigation bar during a fullscreen video.
I hope you can fix this. Thanks.

I'm really liking your browser. Can you introduce a fast way to scroll to a top of a page. Maybe 2 finger swipe or scroll bar. I use Facebook through the browser as the app is bloated. But if I scroll down the page for a while then I gave to scroll all the way up again to get new feeds. So it would be handy of there was a quick way to scroll to the top of a webpage.
Keep up the good work.

EDIT.....

Sorry I found the feature in the menu. Awesome. Love the browser even more.

Well looks like you already found it yourself haha :)

Regards.

BETA v.1.0-ß Now released.

For a list of changes, View Post #2

Disappearing urlbar when at bottom is annoying. Instead of having the workaround to move bar to top, can it be disabled so that it worked as before?
I kind of started to like having it at the bottom.
Some issues:
  • Url bar on bottom also has an affect on cropping the top of the page; I.e. when I open the attached image below on a new tab the top of the image is cropped, scrolling gets shifted down and you can not show the top of image anymore:

  • I get FCs: http://hastebin.com/raw/veloyimupo
  • A small nice addition would have an about section in settings with a changlog tab, currently changelog only appears on first run.
  • Also, I am having problems on opening the link in settings check for updates, I get:

But, no page loads!
Update:
They appear but without a tab placeholder, so you need to swipe to get to them.

Shouldn't they a have a tab opened? Bug?
After FCs when I reopened app tabs appear, so indeed a bug:

Unfortunately the problem remains also in beta. Maybe there is a conflict with my tablet. I don't know.
However it's a good browser and i'll continue to use it (except for videos ).

Can you try that on some other device, I think some Tablets do not allow hiding Navigation Bar due to Framework design. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Regards.

Nice and fast but, no incognito browsing and inability to turn off crashalitycs or "send error to developer" makes it a big no no for me. Uninstaling, keep up the good work.

privateBrowsing got deprecated in API 17, as you can see in the link and I have no other way to add it to the application.
Also, the only data crashlytics uses is crash data, which helps me find bugs and then fix them, as most of the users do not report them. It proves to be useful to check out how many users face the crash on their devices, reporting severity of the bug based on crash priority.
I can do nothing to help, but may add an option for the user to enable/disable sending logs.

Regards.

got it working now. but had to use xplore, stock/internal filemanager didnt work.

at least it works :)

btw, thx for the browser. i really like it :)

Stock filemanager works just fine for me, it opens up the "Documents" application which basically browses through your folders. Glad to hear that it works for you though :)

Regards.

    Check out Cornowser, started as a project by fellow developer of UBP.

    This Project has officially been discontinued. The reason is that I don't have time to work on this anymore. It was actually started as a fun project just to learn new stuff about programming in Android and with the overwhelming response, I just went on to learn more. But now, due to little or no time I cannot continue and have decided to discontinue this project for good.
    If anyone would like to take over on my behalf, they are free to do so. Just make sure to keep the license intact. It has been a great time learning stuff and I sure have learnt a lot from this thing. To all those who have helped me and this application be a lot better, I'd like to thank you and I appreciate your support.​


    Those who're looking for a new, bright start, can check out Cornowser, started as a project by fellow developer of UBP.



    Also, the source code is still on GitHub, if you'd like to mess around with it.
    Now has been licensed as "Beerware", meaning you can do whatever you want with the code. You can also still download the stable & beta versions from the downloads tab of this page.​


    It has been a fun ride with you all, and I hope we can meet soon with a new project :)

    I found a browser called Falkon ++ and it seems to be based off of this. I can't find anything different between the two though

    Thanks for letting me know. Although, I can't help much of it as my application is open-sourced. Due to real life problems, I might stop developing this, but there is a new update coming up pretty soon, and we'll see how that goes and its future depends on the second Beta. So I don't care much if people steal it, I did it for fun, some might as well make money off it, but that's a part of life and you got to move on and have no regrets :)

    Regards.
