Material 3 Browser - RIP Arch Search
I am in the process of building a replacement of my beloved Arc Search Browser
You can find it here:
https://github.com/sk2andy/candy-browser
It has many innovative features:
* it's based on the Android's WebView - so never outdated browser security as long as you update the system's WebView provided by Google
* no trails to Google or any other providers - it just uses the WebView
* many gestures to navigate smoothly
* edge-to-edge browsing experience
* basic possibilities to write your own extensions or download from my library : https://github.com/sk2andy/candy-browser-toppings
* Picture-In-Picture mode
* a trail where you can follow your click history on one tab
* pinning tabs
* multiple versions of tab switchers to your liking
* multiple profiles that work isolated from each other or not (you can choose per profile)
* some basic ad and cookie consent blocking features
* commands to i.e. clear caches from the address bar etc.
* recommendation to switch to tab instead opening the same tab over and over again
* the possibility to setup your own rules for ad blocking etc.
* external downloader (1DM, ADM) support
* reader view
* link peeking (a long press on a link previews the page)
* auto complete with multiple providers to choose from
The browser is designed to look good, has nice animations and feels smooth.
I have some things on my list like "Mozilla Firefox Tab Sync" and maybe some others have also good ideas what to add.
