Hey,

I really like this project for its simplicity and was wondering if the idea of userscripts would be of interest. These would have full access to the DOM and load at the end of a page load. They can be used to switch off annoying popups, do dark modes for sites that don't have them, add or remove social buttons etc.

At a glance, it looks possible on the basis of this SO post:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2219074/in-android-webview-am-i-able-to-modify-a-webpages-dom

Changing this to look for mysite.com.user.js would let me (eg) bypass GDPR blocks on that file. What I'm not sure of is how to sensibly get the script in place. I guess copy pasting would be one approach.

Is this the kind of thing you'd want in FOSS Browser?

On the startup of the browser, the browser loads something. The x mark on the url bar represents that. I need to click the x button, then only i can type my URL address. Otherwise if I type anything it won't show in the bar.

And also it won't show the saved home tabs until I click the x icon.

Tried to download Nina Warnapp as zip. https://www.bbk.bund.de/DE/Warnung-Vorsorge/Warn-App-NINA/NINA-Download/nina-download_node.html

The file has about 30MB but download stops after a few MB and tells download complete.

No problem with Chrome or DuckDuckGo Android Browser. It worked on my Android 10 device but fails on Android 6.0.1 and Android 11. Clearing cache did not help.

Other - also large - downloads usually work.

Ideas?

When selecting text on the address bar, highlighted text not visible, title on it is static, no change, even when text is selected. I can enter text though, as I tried to long-press and select-all-text and replaced it with "google.com" and press enter, and it will send me to google. The title on the bar will then be changed into "googlemcom at duckduckgo"

If I open any website(s) and then leave them open, they're then closed when I open the web browser some time later. I don't have this issue work other clients.

I'm running Android 11 on a Pixel 3a. Current version of Foss browser is 8.3 from F-Droid.

All bookmarks are deleted with each update of the app.

Therefore, it is pointless to have bookmarks on this browser, as they will just be deleted as soon as the app is updated.

A feature is not a feature at all when it is an annoyance.

If I want to use this browser, the only sane thing to do is to not have any bookmarks stored on it at all.

Why/User Benefit/User Problem

The web page area is not in focus after inputting a site URL or search term in the address bar and hitting enter. Immediately after this event, focus remains in the address bar (denoted by the blinking cursor) which is probably not expected behavior. In the case where I'm sending a page down key after going to a new address, the input gets consumed by the address bar as opposed to the web page area.

What/Requirements

After submitting a value in the address bar and hitting enter, the following should occur:

1. Focus should be put on the web page area
2. Address bar should immediately show page title which is the current behavior when the address bar is not in focus. Currently the address bar remains in focus and shows the URL until you tap out of it

The behavior should be similar to switching tabs which has the page area immediately in focus after a tab change.

Since last major update v6, I cannot get any more my bookmarks on startup. I only get home, ie my search engine. I can't any way to get back my bookmarks. FYI, I didn't succeed in saving my bookmarks, I lost all of them.... Thank you for your development. Loïc

No idea where exactly it comes from... But it seems to have to do with CompleteAdapter and change of adapter without notifyDataSetChanged. Did you recently make any changes there?

I liked the small icons for adblock, fingerprint protection, etc which we had some months ago a lot more...

Instead of the domain name, e.g "heise.de" we could show the Favicon

What is the function of the crossed out shield at the bottom left?

If I can help, let me know.

FOSS Browser v8.2 Android 10.0

Always crashes on the following link:

Seeing this with version 9.5

Browser app does not seem to match domains on the 'Trusted websites' list. This can be demonstrated if the app is configured to reject cookies for 'Standard websites' but accept cookies for 'Trusted websites'.

To reproduce:

(1) Tilt phone horizontally while on app home screen. (2) Tap the 3 vertical dots in bottom right corner of the app. Overlay with menu options will appear. (3) Tap the 3 vertical dots in bottom right corner of the menu options overlay. Menu options overlay will now display the "Setti..." option. (4) Tap the "Setti..." option to enter the 'Settings' screen. (5) Under 'Browser Settings" heading tap 'Privacy'. 'Privacy' settings screen will appear. (6) Scroll down to get to 'Edit profiles'. (7) Tap on 'Edit profiles'. Overlay with profile names will appear. (8) Tap on 'Standard'. Profile options for the 'Standard' profile will appear. (9) Scroll down to the 'Cookies' checkbox. (10) Uncheck the 'Cookies' checkbox. (11) Open a cookie checking website 'https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/are-cookies-enabled' with the app. Website will inform that cookies are not enabled. (12) Repeat steps (1) to (7) to return to the overlay with profile names.
(13) Now tap on 'Trusted'. Profile options for the 'Trusted' profile will appear. (14) Scroll down to the 'Cookies' checkbox. (15) Check the 'Cookies' checkbox. (16) Repeat steps (1) to (5) to return the to 'Privacy' settings screen. (17) Tap 'Trusted websites'. 'Trusted websites' screen will appear. (18) Add the cookie testing site domain 'whatismybrowser.com' to the trusted websites list. (19) Repeat step (11) to see if cookies are now working for the cookie testing site as they should be. However, website will continue to inform that cookies are not enabled, despite the website being on the 'Trusted websites' list. This suggests that the app is not matching the cookie testing site as present on the 'Trusted websites' list. This is the nature of the bug reported in this bug report. (20) Repeat steps (1) to (9) to return to the 'Cookies' checkbox for the 'Standard' profile. (21) Now check the 'Cookies' checkbox. (22) Repeat step (11) to see if cookies are now working for the cookie test site. Website will now inform that indeed cookies are now enabled. This further confirms that the app did not match the cookie testing site as present on the 'Trusted websites' list, and demonstrates that the app is processing this 'Trusted' site as a regular 'Standard' site. This is the nature of the bug reported in this bug report.

If you use the non-javascript version of duckduckgo or any other site that uses URL redirects one needs to press back in a very quick sequence, making it very difficult to return to the linking page

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

Go to https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=test Click on first link Press back/use guesture The page just reloads

Expected behaviour One should return to https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=test

As seen in this video the full screen mode in Youtube cropped the video making it unusable.

There's lot of unresponsive dead UI around the toolbar buttons, which often cause hit & miss on regular usage.

Expanding the clickable area margins would fix this simple issue.
