Nothing beats Bromite, ever.
Firefox Preview. Sadly no extension support yet but then other browsers don't have that either so...
it's literally a skin for your embedded browser
i use w3m when i don't need javascript or images
That's the point. No added bloat, uses what the OS already comes with.
What does Bromite have that Lightning doesn't? Legit question I use lightning but if Bromite is better I'll switch to it.
Webview is fucking shit
The best is Firefox with Ublock Origin and Descentraleyes.
>muh bloat

LOOOOL

no.

no
>apps need to be updated once an hour
It does need to be updated more often you sperg. Obviously not once an hour but at least once three months or so due to how fast requirements for browsers work. I use Lightning myself but it's honestly a broken piece of shit a quarter of the time when it comes to loading sites, or in some cases never loads them at all. And no, I'm not using a chink phone either. If I weren't lazy I would have switched to a different browser already.
Except Lightning isn't a browser, it's an interface for Android's built-in web renderer which gets updated as often as Chrome.
Interested also
Bump for answers
I liked it but it didn't (or doesn't) save the page's logo on the home screen when I restart my phone so I moved to bromite
Hency using Custom tabs API is better, faster and lighter than Webview or even the browser itself

sorry, i want a moden browser that doesnt look like its been ripped from a fucking smartphone circa 2005
>Not India
>Singapore
Ye but how do i download files then ? Doesnt work on lynket
being up to date
I wish other (mainstream) browsers had the side-swipe-panel for tabs. Fuck your little button in the navbar, it's too slow.
lightning has become a little buggy
using brave now
not too bad
this seems like a lightning fork
github.com
Download works fine with Lynket
I just did a search from Lynket's url bar, for example "Ubuntu ISO" and it opened the custom tab of the browser i had as first choice, in my case brave, i clicked the downlad button and it began to download the ISO.
>Bromite is Chromium plus some patches for ad blocking and enhanced privacy.
you claim that nothing can beat Chromium with some half assed adblocking/privacy patches? and you trust this thing?
>Better support for different stuff due to being based on Chromium.
>Integrated Ad Blocker
>Possibility to block JS on different sites
>A lot of privacy tweaks
>Even more stuff than you might think
You should checkout github.com
Not a shill, just fascinated of that browser.
Lightning 2.7mb
Bromite 73 mb
Both use webview
Latest ff is 50mb
Why?
Bromite doesn't use WebView
The problem with these weekend project browsers are that is basically just one guy doing his hobby, once he get tired, bored, busy, the whole project goes poof.
I'm using an old lineageos 14.1 build (my device is not longer supported) without gapps
I suppose my webview is ancient and insecure, I fucked I am for watching porn on lightning?
yes i would go to india now before fbi storms your house
What terminal emulator do you use for w3m? Termux?

Since you already did nerd shit like fishing a rom, you can always download Bromite WebView and use it as the new default.
Some changes 3 hrs ago
New icon
Almost 3k issues
Don't know if he'll get a new version out with all that fixed

based kiwi browsers with comfy extensions enabled.
comfy confirmed
Using this rn seems pretty gud
the community is pretty decent as well user.
For NEETs, yes.
If you're anyone productive, it's not.
kiwi is shit
Why?
>productive on a phone
least intelligent post itt
Those tabs and gestures, man. No other browser even competes. But so many settings, I'd even say too many. The next version is going to get adblock filters support.
Just update the webview nigger.
Firefox Mobile has extensions, though. Shouldn't Preview?
They're deperecated.
Horses for courses.
What you've described is exactly what I want
No. Privacy Browser is the best.
its not secure at all ui is worst, can't be compared with bromite yet
Chrome browsers let you slide the toolbar left or right to switch tabs. Combine with Kiwi's bottom bar and I can't go back to Lightning's clunky slow panel.
how about brave then?
How? I grabbed the google webview from aurora store but my lightning user agent still says I'm using chrome 71
Newer Android versions use Chrome instead of WebView. My 8.1 has WebView disabled, while my mother's 5.1 receives WebView updates. Just update Chrome itself.
I don't have chrome and never will, I use Firefox as main browser, lightning is just for porn for the sidebar tab switcher so I can change gallery with one hand
Maybe I have to make google webview a system app so lightning can use it?
I use opera mobile, what Am I missing?
Nothing. It's just another WebView skin.
What's the lightest browser for 4.x that doesn't use WebView?
>4.x
Why?
Because my stock is stuck on JB and CM/Lineage run like poop
For me, it's the XBrowser. Love that easy access customizable menu.
>the X stands for extreme browsing
Embarrassing.
Select the webview in the developer settings.
*blocks your path with inbuilt adblocker and dark mode*
>Closed source chink botnet
Maybe, but you definitely should try Via.
WHY CAN'T YOU ALL STOP BEING A FUCKING DEGENERATES AND INSTALL A FUCKING VIA
>Webview
And it's bad because?..
you are all a bunch of faggots
Firefox is the best browser. Period. On Android, Windows, Linux, Mac. Anything. Just use Firefox, it's better than your browser. Unless you're using Lynx.
Butthole tier security
Thank you, now I can fap without fear
Brave
I agree, if this was 3 years ago. Bad tranny infused piece of shit has become intolerable. If their recent debacle where are they accidentally disabled every single add-on wasn't enough of a hint for you nothing will be.
Because Chrome isn't tranny infused...?
When they changed the back button to the useless home button in compact mode I switched to full mode and swipe bottom bar gestures. When they removed those gestures I just dropped it.
Any major tech company is gayfirst nowadays, Mozilla happens to be the only one caring about users
Brave, chrome, Vivaldi, are all marketing fluff or straight scam
If blocking of the web request api wasn't enough of a hint for you nothing will be
Who gives a shit about chrome? You may as well suggest Internet explorer.
But they don't give a shit about the users only their agenda. if they did they would hire based on competence not based on diversity.
