Hi guys,

I would like to introduce FREE Browser for Android. I recently published it on F-Droid.

I derived it from FOSS Browser, which you maybe know. In the past I also made dome contributions to this app.

Recently I decided to develop my own version with focus on privacy, stability, and better support for user scripts, similar to Greasemonkey.

It is fully open source, has no ads, no trackers and provides

• AdBlocker using StevenBlack host list • Measures against browser fingerprinting • Advanced settings for javascript, cookies and DOM-storage (domain/bookmark based) • Third party cookies are not supported in general. • Support for Greasemonkey style scripts (supported: @match, @name, @run-at) • Optimized for one hand handling (toolbar at bottom) • TAB control (switch, open, close, unlimited tabs) • Fast toggle for most important settings • Zoom in/out • Search current website • Web search (from marked text via context menu) • Save as PDF • Open links in other apps (for example YouTube) • Backup • etc

Currently I am trying to implement support for Mozilla's cookie banner rules, to automatically deny cookies, where possible.

I hope you like it...
