How does this compare to tuga?
>>55074423
I switched from Tuga to this recently, I liked the UI better and it is updated pretty frequently. Pretty sure they are both based to the same build of Chromium (52). It's also on the Play Store so automatic updates just werk.

Yes it is, look at the link, the GitHub is literally empty.
Sync is a known bug with CAF Chromium shit, you have to get lucky.
I don't like history because I don't like shit on my homepage and in my url bar, not because of porn.
Is sound in webms supported and I just haven't flipped a switch in settings or something? I test Lightning on my website and neither Vorbis nor Opus plays. In Fennec F-Droid they play just fine.
>>55075046
Naked is da shit. I use the pro version. Stable as fuck with tons of features
I like lightning, I wish it was capable of playing webm
I just use chrome . _.
Tugabrowser > Lightning Browser
Is there a good libre browser like lightning that is lightweight and supports webm?
>>55075910
>>55076047
Works on my machine. This is VP9, even.
>>55076047
Why not just stay with Lightning? Most people use that or any of the CAF browsers like Yubrowser and Tugabrowser
>>55076047
Lightning does support webm, you faggot. It just uses the android webview. How old is your ROM?
why is lightning so shit now? you can't even re-open closed tab anymore
CAF
Anything else is just slow shit
>>55076163
Because Lightning isn't being actively developed anymore.
Many of us have moved to Yubrowser. It has better adblocking and more active development.
>>55073300
I like it but doesn't the dependency on web view makes all your browsing go to Google?
Other than open sores and FREEDOM, what do alternate browsers have that Chrome or Firefox doesn't? Serious question here.
>>55076300
no. where did you get that idea?
>>55076356
because it uses the chrome (not chromium) webview, available from the play store so I supposed is proprietary but I'll be happy to be proved wrong as I use lighting often

Doesn't Opera Mini still use the Presto layout engine, whilst Opera and Opera Mobile have moved to WebKitsune?

It used to be. Now Firefox has taken that title.
When lightning was still good and actually worked my #1 gripe was the tab limit.
>Pic related, tfw 40 firefox tabs open and ready

And before that? The updates aren't coming fast enough. There's significant bugs on the current version and Lightning doesn't even block ads properly.

>>55078741
First of all, there's no github link in their description and they never mentioned that the browser is actually open source. Please take a look at my screenshots above. I think that's a pretty good reason not to install YuBrowser.
>>55078772
I don't know. I can't find it.
I use Tugabrowser
YuBrowser is literally just Chrome with adblocking.
I mean, cool, if that's what you want.
>>55078784
I don't know wtf you're getting at dude. It's pretty well known that contacts access is needed for accounts. You can sign into your Google account on the browser, hence it asks for permission. It's really not that fucking difficult.
>>55078698
Dont Firefox and Chrome also ask for contacts?
>>55080047
Not sure, but I don't really care. I'm not using a browser that needs to read my contacts - no, thanks.
Yu browser is good, I recently switched over from another similar browser
I don't lile how it doesn't have an option to make each tab it's own separate thing like all of the other other chrome based browsers though
I really like Dolphin but fuck does it crash a lot.

Does anyone know where to follow Tugabrowser development?
I'm on the alpha build that seems to be based on Chromium 52 but it has some small issues with crashing on certain sites.
The most recent stable build that was released today still seems to be on v46.
I'd like to know what the differences are between builds.
>>55081895
The difference is just what Chromium build they are on. That's it. m46 is stable, m52 needs work.
>>55082314
Are there any security implications by being on m46 vs 52?
Any idea why the CAF builds are all several versions behind Chromium?
Is there a Chromium build for x86 processors?
>>55082371
>Are there any security implications by being on m46 vs 52?
Obviously, yes. You should be using the latest if you want to be the most secure.
I use the default xyanogenmod browser, it's ok
Gello
Why do Yu Browser, TugaBrowser, Chrome, and CAF Chromium all feel exactly the same with barely any difference
>>55073300
I mostly use naked, it doesn't like some sites though (pretty rare but happens) so for those I use Lightning.
I also like how easy it is to switch to desktop browsing mode in naked. Comes in handy for some sites whose mobile versions are cancer

Android is seriously a joke. Any Linux OS gives you root access when you install it.

Installing the su binary from recovery isn't really an exploit, it just isn't included by default for security. Also, desktop Linux isn't used by billions of tech incompetent smartphone users, it's for enthusiasts and tryhards.

FF.
>>55088019
FF is really slow for some reason on my 6P and m7.
>>55088095
Works fine on my N5. Must be a memory issue. Shouldn't be, though. I only use it for BG play on YT I can't comment in anything else.
>>55087818
So does new pipe, and it's lighter than FF
what extensions are you using that make it better?
The browser I want doesn't exist. I want text reflow as good as opera but the ability to set the default zoom level.
>>55088142
NP background play doesn't work on my phone. It's lighter because it's just YT and nothing else.

Learn English if you want people to take your opinions seriously here.
Also no, Lightning is better and much much lighter than FF.
>>55087339
Download f-droid, then AdAway.
Or just grab the app from the internets.
>>55088379
Can't background stream from it so it's useless to me.

Not true BG. You need the app drawn on top for it to work. You can't bounce around and stream seamlessly.

The only answer
Are there usable Firefox forks on Android? How is Icecat?
>>55076389
Firefox is slow on Android and uses crazy battery. Chrome doesn't have ad blocking or extensions from what I can tell.
Yubrowser is fast, has built-in ad blocking (and other useful features), and it doesn't drain my battery as fast as FF did.
> Not just using chromer
How is this even allowed
>>55087812
Who cares about having data being sent to China? I'd be more concerned if it was being sent to Europe or the US instead.
I'm using firefox, it's fine...
>>55080047
Firefox does not. I don't know about Chrome, but it probably knows enough of you already not to need to ask you for permissions.
>>55081646
Habit. Although it's closed source, so I'm not sure I'd recommend it.
>>55074621
I honestly wish it looked just a little less autistic. I think the developer just makes it this ugly on purpose to appeal to the edgy __muh software minimalism__ gang.

When did Fleksy turn into shit?
>>55089846
Not him, but somewhere in the last few months.
There's this forced emoji/emoticon crap on the suggestion bar that you can't really get rid of afaik.
It's a shame because I liked the option for the pop up letter bit to cycle through the spectrum.
I'd rather use stock than the forced emoji crap.
>>55089876
What? I'm using the latest version and am not getting any emojis
>>55089846
>>55089876
Also they have completely stopped support and apparently an anon who used to live close to their offices said they closed down. Also fleksy is a huge memory hog and takes up way too much space.
>>55089912
That would be the other thing. It just lags.
>>55089901
They fill my suggestions bar, and I can't find anything in the menus to switch them off or replace them. Perhaps it's because your settings came from an older installation before this started?
>>55089933
If you're using the suggestions extension you're out of luck. For some reason they've decided to force emoji suggestions into that bar.

Yeah, Gello seems pretty nice. I would probably be using it if I wasn't using Firefox on my computer. The sync feature between the two is too good to give up and I'm not willing to change to Chrome on desktop. But overall as a browser, Gello seems good.

Bullshit. It uses the same engine as the desktop version (gecko)

Still loads more than any other mobile browser. It supports freaking extensions for one
>unbelievably terrible and clunky UI
Just say you don't like it? Still more usable and functional than your typical stripped down webview/chromium clone
>>55093111
>Bullshit
Damn, that's a solid argument. Shall I retroactively take a screenshot of every time Firefox has crashed on me and make a collage? Your following argument would be "well your phone must be shit" regardless.
>It uses the same engine as the desktop version (gecko)
Which is worse than WebKit.
>Still loads more than any other mobile browser.
Agreed there, but it's still shit. Correct me if this changed, but last time I used Firefox you couldn't even save webpages in anything that isn't a PDF (what the hell) without an extension or a third party app. It has more features than Android Chrome, but not nearly as much as a proper browser SHOULD have.
>Just say you don't like it?
It's not that I don't like it, it's objectively slow and terrible. Even Chrome has a ton of subtle shit that makes navigation easier, like being able to just hold the tab switcher down and move your finger to scroll through tabs, everything is animated smoothly, etc. Firefox looks and feels like trying to use a Gtk application on Windows. I know that's not exactly a solid argument, but I can't really define it in any other way.
