Hello Soren,
registering to your bug tracker system did not work (confirmation mail never arrived). In version 3.0.1 the “websearch” from the contextmenu does not work. When selecting a text and launch “websearch” nothing happens. Please fix.
Yours cincerly

Frank,
Thanks for the bug report. It has been fixed and will be included in the next release. https://redmine.stoutner.com/issues/431.
Regarding Redmine’s email confirmation, your email server’s spam filtering is blocking it at the SMTP layer. Here is the error I see in my email server log:
T=remote_smtp defer (-46): SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: 451 Suspicious message, please come back later
They may be greylisting the message, in which case it will eventually come through. Otherwise, you might want to contact them and ask that they improve their system.
There are no words to explain the high regard for the developer. This browser has all the ‘pluses’ that lack in other big-brother browsers. It is PERFECT and the only one I trust on my phone… Vielen Dank!
I just stumbled upon this browser and i have to say: It.Is.Great! Thank you so much.
But is there a bug with the browsing history? It just gets deleted every time i close the browser, even tho i do everything in the options to “save” the history. Do i miss something?
Thank you for your reply :). I understand the concept now (should have read the whole thing beforehand ;P )
I read webnovels (on 2 domains) and to navigate to the exact chapter and keep track of the chapter-number everytime I want to read something sounds really annoying tbh.
But I still like your browser 🙂 thanks for your hard work!
That is a use case that Privacy Browser does not currently do a good job of dealing with. I will have to think about it for a while to see if I can come up with a good solution.
I am considering adding an option to save the scroll position when creating a bookmark. https://redmine.stoutner.com/issues/521. When loading a bookmark, this would rescroll to the previous position on the page. Would this be helpful to you?
Hi. Currently your nice browser has “Proxy through Orbot” option. But there is no similar option for i2p network ! I suggest to you to add new option: “Proxy through i2p”.
Best.
Please implement a javascript whitelist/blacklist per-site, kinda like NoScript
This would allow to block many unwanted popups while still browsing content on websites who require javascript
Also open a a proper issue section, forcing users to use forum-like forms doesn’t seem the best idea 🙁
First thanks for a wonderful browser, in my older devices that do not support Firefox, PB works exceptionally well! Also I love how you write your thought process when making decisions, I have made a lot of learning thanks to your posts.
One question though, is it possible to delete cookies BUT not the ones from specific domains? I have a couple websites I would like to keep the cookies from, while deleting the rest. Is it possible with current we view support? Thanks.
That is a really helpful feature I am planning to implement. However, because of the way WebView works, they don’t make it possible to delete some cookies and not others. As such, it is planned for Privacy WebView in the 4.x series. https://redmine.stoutner.com/issues/245
Tried to register in redmine.stoutner.com to fill a feature request but never got an activation email. Tried twice and even clicked the “if you want to receive a new activation email click here”. Never worked. Is anything wrong with registration at this time?
The feature request I was going to post about was to allow to have automatic url modification based on domain. My use case would be Invidious.
This: https://invidio.us/watch?v=AMShoQ_qdc0
Or some other options that they have available. As of right now I am forced to use either cookies or Javascript to use their website properly. I believe other websites can also be improved with this feature. The way I see it shouldn’t be necessary to have Privacy View before this is possible (since the URL is already being manipulated at browser level to disable facebook tracking and such).
I see the registration email finally came through and you were able to file this feature request at https://redmine.stoutner.com/issues/502. For those who may have this problem in the future, it is often caused by greylisting, where the receiving email server temporarily delays receipt of emails because they have not received one from that sender and server before. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greylisting.
For most people, the built in Android download manager is sufficient. However, due to some bugs with the Android download manager on some devices, I have implemented an option to use an external download manager of the user’s choice. You can read more about this at https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser-2-14/ and https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser-3-1/. As described at https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser-design-guidelines/, part of my design philosophy is to reuse standard Android functionality as much as possible. As such, it is unlikely that I will implement my own download manager because the investment in time would be significant and would detract from the development of core Privacy Browser features.
Hi.) You can also add manual editing of the list of domains. black list.
The place to make feature requests is on the bug tracker. I’m not sure I understand your question, but it seems similar to either https://redmine.stoutner.com/issues/181 or https://redmine.stoutner.com/issues/180.

That is the expected behavior as described at https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser/core-privacy-principles/.

I2P support is a planned feature. https://redmine.stoutner.com/issues/355
I2P support was added in the 3.3 release.

There are a number of planned features along these lines scheduled for the 4.x release, including https://redmine.stoutner.com/issues/270.

Hi Soren
Please suggest a download manager application
Are you adding this feature in your amazing app.
For most people, the built in Android download manager is sufficient. However, due to some bugs with the Android download manager on some devices, I have implemented an option to use an external download manager of the user’s choice.
