Any plan to add option to disable javascript? Love the simple UI and built-in download accelerator, but I won't use any web browser without capability to disable javascript.

Nice. I see that you have whitelist for adblocker. Would be nice if you have whitelist for javascript blocker too.
Anyway, I just tried download manager, but downloaded file named filename.ext.null instead of filename.ext

It's optimized for audio/video mime types, but I will double check this one. Currently you can go to the download folder and rename the file, sorry for the inconvenience.

Well you cannot have an app on Playstore that 1-Play Youtube on background, 2- Download youtube.
This app is no exception. Maybe you can try option "play with" if there's any of your downloader apps can open it.

[APP][2.1+] Youtube App directly from Facebook posts without loading browser

Makes it much faster and better when viewing Youtube videos from Facebook now. Currently, when you open Youtube videos from Facebook app, you have to wait for a web browser to load, and then re-direct you to the Youtube app. All of this is history. This application will allow you to bypass the slow loading of browser and open the Youtube app directly for you!
The application also work with other kind of links posted in Facebook such us Box, Dropbox, Google Play and so on!
To make it run:
- Install FacebookLinks
- In Facebook app, open any youtube video.
- "Complete this action using" dialog is opened, choose Facebook Links, and tap on "Always"
- Choose Youtube from the second Dialog... and Tap Always
Enjoy!

The application fixes all other links in facebook posts, and even the normal web pages will be opened directly in the browser without being redirected from facebook.com
The application also save you from browser full of facebook redirect tabs... which open the Youtube app whenever you opened it!

Plex Pass/Plex for Android

***UPDATE***
Some issues have been resolved
Plex has been updated
https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/topic/60585-plex-for-android/page-5#entry789763
Testing Plex for Android 3.7.1.286:
1) Still not passing 5.1 audio to my receiver (DTS, AC3, DD)
2) App shortcut not in the launcher or chainfires sideloader
3) Still no leanback interface.
4) Forcing Direct Play is still hit or miss, transcoding still my occor
PlexPass has also been updated to 3.7.1.286 can someone please report if issues 1 & 3 of the above issues have been resolved in that app?
Better to report this on the plex forums.

I have. Just wanting input from others here
yeah I haven't seen any improvements after the update. Seems like almost nothing has changed.
Kodi is at RC3 and to me there has been a huge improvement there but still not perfect. I will be happy when plex fixes their app though.
Plex will never have pass through until google adds it to androids media player. Seems like I write this somewhere every few days.

I dont have any faith that Plex will fix the shortcut or leanback interface for non-plex pass app anytime soon. This is probably by design. I feel like they are doing everything possible to push users towards purchasing the plex plass. I paid for the app on android and ios, but i still cant use it on my NP or Xbox unless I have a pass. Very annoying.

Dude that's exactly what I was saying 3 days ago. Somebody here turned me on to the option. Go to Settings > General > Application Layout and select "TV".
Additionally, there's another option in Settings > General > Device media profile > Media profile to select "Google TV" but I have no idea what that does...?

The leanback (Android TV) Plex Pass version and the standard Mobile/TV version have different interfaces. Modifying the apk will only let you launch the apk from the leanback launcher the layout will still be Mobile/TV. What people without a Plex Pass membership want is the Android TV version because it's a better design for the Nexus Player remote and it also adds your Plex media to the leanback launcher page, this is probably the features most Nexus Player want from Plex. The two APK's are totally different and I believe the Android TV version is a larger apk size.

Really? Interesting. I'm talking about changing the settings directly in the Plex app.
Question: Did you get your Plex app from Amazon's App Store or the Google Play Store? I've heard somewhere that they may be fundamentally different, which blows my mind that developer would take on THAT kind of madness, but I digress...
I'm using the PLEX Pass version that came with the NP. I've been able to update it via Google Play.

Umm I was referring to the NON PlexPass version - just the regular Plex app that can be sideloaded quite easily. You can enable the TV interface from settings. I have no idea what the scoop is on the PlexPass app.
I have created a small app which appears in leanback launcher and launches the sideloaded Plex app. I hope someone finds it useful. DL here: drive.google.com/file/d/0B94VLF1llYJTTllETTFGazlLRHc (not allowed to post a proper link, sry).

Download sizes are:
Smaller than 200kb on Android 4.4 KitKat.
Smaller than 100kb on Android 5.0 Lollipop and higher.
I focus the development of this browser on it's size, speed, security and it's night mode.

FAQ
Q: On which Android versions does this work?
A: Android 4.4 KitKat and Android 5 Lollipop and higher. You'll also need WebView (Android 5 & 6) or Google Chrome (Android 7+) to run on the latest version (older versions probably work, but are not supported).
Q: Peregrine Browser says it runs on Chrome 42. When will you upgrade to Chrome x?
A: Peregrine Browser uses the WebView component from the system.
It is recomended that you use the WebView from Google (Android 5+), because it will be updated to the latest version.
On Android 7+, Google Chrome could also be used as WebView component.
Therefore, Google needs to update that and not me.
Q: A website I want to visit won't open.
A: We block some websites because of their content (for example, sites that could contain malware). Try disabling AdBlock or Safe Browsing.

Alright, will test tomorrow. (And edit this post if works)
Edit: version control doesn't work. Will try updating through xda labs.
Edit2: also doesn't work it identify my browser version as same with version on xda labs. Ill uninstall and reinstall. But I think problem here may be you only change revision tags, so xda labs doesn't recognize.
Okay, bug fixed. I have not found any other bugs thus far, great job! Maybe chipset specific versions? Just a suggestion...

For some reason Labs won't update Browse, even after I changed the revision tags.
I will display a pop-up on the homescreen when there is an update available, with an instruction how to install it (in future versions it will install automatically).
I've tested chipset specific versions, however the size of the app is the same as the universal one (for all architectures) and the performance as well.

Peregrine Browser: version 2
As you might have noticed, Browse changed it's name to Peregrine Browser. I didn't like Browse as name. Several people told me that the browser is fast, so I changed the name to Peregrine Browser, from the Peregrine Falcon. The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest animal on the planet.
The name is not the only thing that has changed: the icon and look are also updated.
Version 2 also comes with some new features and bug fixes:
- New permission handling. When websites want access to your location, camera or microphone, you can chose to allow or deny access (Like the permission handling on Android 6 Marshmallow and higher).
- Added App Shortcuts.
- Fixed Arabic language not showing correctly in bookmarks and history.
- Several other improvements.
I'll work on future versions on these features:
- Adding custom websites to Quick access.
- More translations.
And more.
Notice:
In this build are camera and microphone permissions added. This is so websites could use your camera or microphone, the browser itself does not collect any data with those permissions. On Marshmallow and later, those permissions are only requested when you open a website which wants access to those permissions and you click "allow".
Hey, for a couple of months I've using your little browser as my main.
I have encountered some problems recently tho:
When opening a link from any other app, the browser adds out of nowhere a "http//" (without the : ) to the URL, failing to parse it.
And, since the renaming to Peregrine and adding the night mode, I never have it working properly. I setup it to work between 00.00 and 7.00 am, but then I apply the changes and the main page turns in the night mode in the midst of the day. Am I missing something?
Thank you a lot. By far is the most light and fast browser I've ever tried.

The bug with http// has been fixed internally. If you remove the http://http// part it should load. The browser tries to load a https:// page instead of a http:// one, but apparently there was a bug when loading links from other apps.
I've had issues with night mode aswell, however I haven't found the cause of that problem yet.
I'm also trying to prevent further issues with Google after they blocked an update to the Play Store after violating YouTube's Terms of Service. I don't know what actually was wrong, another update a few days later was allowed.

YouTube background playing

Hi everyone,
I've noticed that I can no longer play YouTube videos in the background on my s8+ bought unbranded from the UK.
The video details with the play button still shows up on the AOD or lock screen but pressing the buttons or using the headphone buttons don't work anymore.
Has anyone else noticed this on their device and is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance.
I know this will not provide the same reliable interface as the official YouTube app. But I installed Firefox and a few add-ons to give myself the background play function back on a nonrooted phone (s8+ U.S. version G955U).
My add-ons were 1. A YouTube adblocker
2. Background play fix (since Firefox latest version crippled it, taking Alphabet payoffs perhaps?)
3. Desktop mode always on add-on (since the resolution is crippled on Firefox mobile version)
Since I use Firefox as my primary browser I used the app Lucky Patcher to clone the Firefox app so I can use one for YouTube with add-ons exclusively.
I know this is pretty convoluted. But ask me if you have any questions.

Google wants you to buy YouTube Red, Samsung's implementation was technically a "cheat".
No wonder they "fixed" it. Google loves $$$.

If only YT red was available in my country...
some browsers allow background video play as well, like habit browser, very customisable browser, heaps of settings.

I installed habit browser, what settings do I change to enable background play? Is there a page with trusted add-ons or scripts?

That is an amazing app but it doesn't allow crop to fit for the S8 18.5:9 aspect ratio. It was explained in a couple of posts in that thread:

So, I guess the ROM has to detect YouTube app which cannot be done because we changed the package name in order for it to install on stock non-rooted phones which comes with pre-installed YouTube app as system app.

So it seems like we're SOL on that perspective unless there is another workaround solution?

Sadly the only workaround is to root your phone.
If you root your phone, you can use our root version of iYTBP and have adblock + background playback + crop to fit feature.

Thanks for the info Laura. I don't think I would be willing to root considering that I would be losing Samsung Pay.
As a workaround I can suggest that if you use chrome browser in desktop mode you can use the same trick as before to play videos at the screen off, this also works with BBC iPlayer via chrome in desktop mode.

sorry for the late reply, i checked and habit browser continues to play youtube videos after screen turned off with these settings.
Goto settings, then Tabs, then Disable (uncheck) :
* Stop hidden tabs
* Stop tabs in the background
if i enable them, the audio stops when I turn off the screen.
hope it works for you, also there is another browser with heaps of great settings like habit browser, called ZuYu browser, it also works with screen off. ZuYu seems more stable.
yes Magisk + iYTBP mod , its work background playing
Have it too

Laura,
For non rooted devices what if I was able to uninstall stock youtube via this method:
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
In that case, could you keep iYTBP package name the same as the stock version so that the ROM could recognize it and enable crop to fit? Could that potentially work?

Absolutely. Let me confirm with you later today that I was able to uninstall stock YT as per the XDA article.

Wow, very fast, nice tools like Extras and Media Inspector. It will be my default browser if:
- go back page without reloading,
- improve media inspector because not detect any image and video from page,
- missing 3rd party player,
- missing cast to tv,
- can't use Tinder because this browser don't support Sharing Location and Notifications.
I have made some updates and the app is more polished since it was posted here

Why not attach APK to OP. And, provide link to App website link whatever.
Also, you have a lot of keywords suchas 'Anoonymous' and 'Privacy', so is webRTC disabled? (As if not, then you should change your keywords as they are wrong.)
Also, add screenshots. Either in tab, or in OP or 2nd post

On the new update you can configure the maximum number of connections per download (it accelerates your download by requesting the file in segments), you can set up to 7 connections or up to 32 connections (with the pro iap) ~ please be cautious about using too high values in this new feature because some servers might not support or even blacklist your IP because of too many connections ~
The newest update contains a lot of improvements:
Many ad blocker improvements
Now you can add custom hosts to the ad blocker list
Horizontal scroll on tabs list was improved
Added option on extras to force zoom
Layout was improved to be more accessible with one hand
Neat browser! Great to see a native dark/black mode for us OLED users, bottom navbar is nice too.
great browser but there is one thing that is keeping me away from it. That is find in page.
Great browser man.... I love it. The night mode feature is a great way to ease the eyes. Could you add a feature similar to facebook messenger's chat heads and an option to view webpages in chat head view by default?

Great start, lightweight & fast, I was hoping the floating windows could be launched externally such as clicking a link in a different app, any plans to add this feature also with resizable windows?
If you could add these I would definitely upgrade.
Thanks

I wish the browser could be downloaded outside of Google Play.
it's really light and fast. i usually open emails and some ebook sites only, still comparatively, execution was fast and snappy.
looks damn great, I love it. let's see if how long can I stay using it before switching back to the old browser.
Testing since yesterday and really appreciate. Great potential. web pages loading and downloading are really fast. Few suggestions regarding my use :
-Permanent private session option
-Adding Qwant as search engine
-Be able to choose a start page (url for example)
-An exit button.
Good work dev, thank you.

Why not add Min API 19 ??
Can you add an open in-app option? Something similar like firefox has?
