[APP][4.4+] Privacy Browser

I see. Thank you, Soren.
I deleted all WebView updates via Play Store and Privacy Browser works as intended again. Once the bugs in WebView are gone I will update again. Next time I will be more careful with updates. Never change a running syxstem.

Actually, it looks cool. But does it keep your history? For instance, I want to buy a gift for my girlfriend (she likes history fiction) but we share one phone together. And I always delete history (which is frustrating). Sometimes my GF thinks I am hiding something from her, but I just want to buy https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094NMRWPJ book for her. Just need to find work, gain money and here I am.

However, she still thinks about my possible cheating on her. So ye, would be cool to have this browser in the future. Thanks for the heads-up!

No, it doesn't store any history at all. See https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser/core-privacy-principles/.

For those who need extreme privacy in this regard, there is an Incognito Mode. Note that this works significantly different than what other browsers call "Incognito Mode".

The font size domain settings are working correctly for me now with WebView 92.0.4515.131. Can you check to see if they are also working for you?

Settings are working correctly again! Thank you, Soren.

@sorenstoutner Hi, does this allow importing a bookmark backup from another browser either in html or json format? I see on your site that it says for 3.x.x not sure if thats current or if it will allow what I want?

Thanks

That is a planned feature. You can track the development at https://redmine.stoutner.com/issues/91. Note that, as described in the roadmap, the development focus is currently on Privacy Browser PC, so it may be a while before the feature is implemented.

I have reached the stage of development of Privacy Browser where I feel the need to centralize the number of locations where I post announcement and provide support. This is mostly to streamline the release process, as well as to collect important information in as few places as possible to make it easier for users to search for answers before posting a question.

As such, I will be discontinuing my use of this XDA forum. Those interested in following the development of Privacy Browser are encouraged to use one of the following three areas.

1. The news blog.
2. The official forums.
3. The Mastodon account.
