Slion 1,200 Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Fulguris release v0.9.4 is now available. It adds support for desktop mode. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteffenWi 139 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Curious, since this is based on Chromium: Is there any way to get the extensions available for desktop Chromium to work on this? That has long been an issue for me with Android, that I can't seem to install any extensions on neither Chrome nor Firefox, which makes both of them equally useless due to being susceptible to ad-infested websites and thus drive-by virus infections. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But thanks for the info about the integrated ad-blocker! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob. S. 1,647 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I think there are at least two examples so far which allow installation of (some) Chrome extensions in an Android browser: Kiwi and Yandex. My experiences (with the latter) are mixed, though (not even wanting to get into the subject of data protection here) and I have no idea how the developers accomplished it, either. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,200 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Just published release v0.9.6. Carefully with this one as it will loose you all your tabs. Make sure your bookmark the ones you need before doing the update. It brings much improved closed tabs restoration and options to not launch third-party apps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MickH 211 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Liking this browser so far. No problems, except having to set it up after each update, but it's no big deal. Any possibility of importing bookmarks from other browsers? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AFAIK you can only import bookmarks from text file ATM. Bookmarks panel is also very basic. I'll improve it as soon as I get a chance. It would be nice to be able to reorder bookmarks much like tabs.

It's worked for me since my first smartphone in around 2013 running kitkat. Back then I'd install adblock plus in firefox. So I have no idea what problems you had two years ago, there has never been a time I didn't have an adblock extension in firefox, mobile or othersie.... on pc that's I think *WHY* I started using firefox version 3 or so was for adblock plus, so continued that practice on phone. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,200 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 With a fairly minor update we reach version 1.0.0. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,200 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 Just published release v1.0.1. It includes improvements to desktop style tabs strip and support for Samsung Galaxy Tab S6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,200 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Just published release v1.0.2. It features a bunch of improvements mostly for desktop mode. Desktop mode should now be working properly for every web site. It's even better than on Chrome cause you can configure its scale from the settings, especially true on tablet or external monitor.

Craig 1,435 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I get a notification that i have an incognito tab open. cant get rid of it. closed every single app, still there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig 1,435 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 oops sorry wrong thread. i'll reboot when i get home and see if its repeatable and post in right thread. right now still have the ntoif i cant get rid of. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 1,435 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 So figured I'd outline one method to get incognito mode stuck in notifications, even when fulguris has been killed. This hapened to me today accidentally and I'm sure there's other ways to get into this state, but this seems repeatable. 1. open fulguris (comes up with my old tabs from previous session before reboot) 2. click the lightning bolt and select 'Go incognito' (opens what i assume is set for default, in my case google search) 3. Open launcher home. (i.e. home button or equivilent) (Incognito notification present, but not unexpected now) 4. Open fulguris (comes up with same tabs as left from step #1) 5. Close fulguris (swipe away from recents) I'm still notified incognito open, but ok fair enough its probably seperate, not sure how it's supposed to work.... so open the incognito session directly by clicking on the notification, then open recents and swipe it away, but it stays in notifications. There is no fulguris still running in recents. So in this situation, I would expect closing fulguris (since theres only one of them in recents) would close the incognito session too, which it seems it is - but it's just forgetting to stop notifying me that it's still open. Another related example. Open two incognito tabs, two different sites. Close fulguris. Select the notification that says i have two tabs, it instead opens a clean google search for me, does not bring me to either of those two old tabs. However again, this is the behavior I would expect if fulguris had been closed - its just the lingering notification. Hopefully this is enough of explanation to give you basic idea of what I experienced... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickH 211 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I get exactly the same behaviour with Fulguris sometimes. After killing the browser completely, snapping the keyboard slider open and closed switches to the task manager screen (whether incognito or not) and the only way to fix it is to restart the phone. Interestingly enough, it also happens with K-9 Mail once in a while, too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully this is enough of explanation to give you basic idea of what I experienced... Same thing happens with Chrome. Only difference is that in Chrome the incognito notification will close incognito tabs and remove the notification. In Fulguris the notification opens incognito tabs so the notification never goes off. However, I don't know why the notification doesn't go away when you remove browser in recent apps. Probably it is related to Android's memory management. In general you should not "kill" apps by swipping them from recent apps menu.

Slion 1,200 Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 Just published release v1.0.4 adding new shortcuts for tab cycling as Ctrl+Tab annoyingly goes back to the top of the page. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adidas88 29 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 So I started using the browser now and I will give it a shot. some requests or maybe you know a workaround: I donˋt have the fn layout you mentioned in the other thread, because I have a qwertz pro1 and have to use finqwerty am I right? the requests: using back and forth with alt + arrows or ctrl + arrows. creating a new tab should highlight directly the address-bar. I mean why not? What is normally the next step after creating a tab? 😄 a simple website blocker with just blocking some words of the url by setting them in the general settings. all in all. good work. like it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
