Tell me more about this browser.
>>
Kissanime doesn't work with this browser, therefore I will not use it.
Also, the CAF snapdragon optimized browser is faster than this, although lightning is much more light weight.
>>
>>54230048
It's the best, most /g/-approved browser
>>
>>54230194
>lightning is much more light weight.

That is all that matters.
>>
>>54230221
But it doesn't work with one of my most frequented websites, and it is also slower than my current browser. Unless I'm running short on space I have no incentive to switch.
>>
>>54230234
Which CAF do you use?
>>
I don't update my Android apps
>>
>>54230246
SWE browser.
Not from the play store since that one is outdated, but there's a thread on it at XDA.

No anon, we know exactly what you meant.

It's alright.

literally a bunch of hipster fedorafags who would praise any lesser known POS crapware as long as its obscure enough.
>>
>>54230267
I found two threads, both from 2015. At least RSBrowser on the Play Store was updated recently.
>>
>>54231003
Enjoy your chrome botnet, loser

Is it lighter than chrome? I doubt it
>>
>>54231362
It's absolutely lighter than Chromebotnet.
>>
>>54229947

All android browsers are reskinned chrome. Just like all iOS browsers are reskinned Safari.
>>
>>54230194
>CAF

Wat?
>>
>>54231410
>All android browsers are reskinned chrome.

This is wrong.
>>
>>54231410
I'm pretty sure Firefox isn't. The whole reskinning thing was the big reason why Firefox took such a long time to hit iOS
>>

The sign of a poorfuck with no data plan.

Is palemoon is good for android ???

>>54232636
lol no
>>
>>54232158
why not? it's the same thing but more up to date.

ctrl+f 'adblock'
nobody mentions if it has adblocker
INTO LE TRASH IT GOES
>>
>>54232711
It has adblock you stupid fag
>>
>>54232711
Even the changelog says it has it
>>
I have the Galaxy S7 and Chrome is super slow on that phone. The Samsung Browser works better, but I don't trust it.
>>
But I have all my bookmarks synced on chrome you nigger. They done got me good with their ease of access.
>>
>>54232771
>being seduced by the botnet

Lol do you also use Windows 10?
>>
>>54232728
>>54232744
you are right boys.
sorry, I am retarded lately
>>
>>54232751
I had the same problem with my Galaxy S4. Chrome was even slower than Firefox.
After installing adaway, magically, Chrome is the fastest and the most responsive browser on my device.
Conclusion: It's not the browsers that are slow, it's the fucking webpages full of pointless JS and styles.

I can stream both the direct links and the web interface through Lightning. Maybe you're referring to an older version?
>>
>>54230567
>I meant ublock.
It block ads just fine. All that's missing are custom block lists so that you can add element hiding and an anti-adblock killer.

>>54234597
Last time I tried lightning browser the website wouldn't even load, so I didn't have a way to get the direct link and stream it in MX Player.
I'll give it another try though since people are saying it works.

why even bother anon?
>>
>>54235529
Read the thread, retard.
No adds on Lightning.
>>
I'm assuming there is a paid version of this because the free one is a botnet
into the trash.
>>
>>54229947
>a browser made by a kid
no thank you
>>
I love lightning, been using it forever. Only thing I disliked about is that there's no fast scroll bar, is that changed in this version?
>>

>he doesn't have f-droid
This is the new /g/, everyone.
>>
webview wrapper w adblock, nothing more.
still using it tho
>>
>>54235570
Are you retarded? it has an ad blocker, but it is nowhere near as good as ublock. I get ads in lightning where I don't with unlock on fennec.
>>
>>54236674
RBrowser has a much better adblocker and isn't slow as shit unlike lighting
>>
>Updating removed my tabs I had open
Oh well.

Also, I can't get it to download images and shit to my SD card. The path should be "/storage/external_SD/" right? Because that's what ghost commander says. But it doesn't work.
