Merezhyvo browser

@naz.R Thank you, that does help! I never tapped on the sun because I thought it meant day mode / night mode. Now that I can find the settings, they seem quite sensible.
(Except for the messengers icon, which I'm never going to use, so I would probably switch that off if possible. But that's just me. Apparently other people use it.)

That said, I'm very happy that UT is getting some up to date browsers, which was long overdue... and so I'm grateful for this new option too.

and you just gave me an idea to add a new option into messengers settings to hide this messengers button in case if someone don't use it.
Will add it in the next release.
I am happy again that you like the browser now

lsitongia

And it's the only web browser that supports importing bookmarks. Awesome!

@domubpkm thanks !
I was sure it exist. not very intuitive, but clear.

domubpkm

@lsitongia and one of the strong points is that it allows you to switch DNS.

On my Fairphone 4 channel 24.04/daily I noticed that playback of a longer video in this browser does not block screen saver. The video and sound keeps playing on a black screen and it is necessary to manually wake the screen with a push on the power button.

I really miss the "raise-to-wake-screen" or "shake-to-wake-screen" on my Fairphone 4 in these kind of situations where the screen needs to be easily woken up.

On Android, even the cheapest Motorola with IPS screen seems to support this "raise-or-shake-to-wake-up-screen" functionality. I think it uses the accelerometer sensor to notice the raising or shaking and does the same as if power button was pushed.

I like that the text size on largest setting makes the text bigger. However, the text size in search bar on top, or in settings remains to be tiny. On my Fairphone 4, the largest text size looks as normal text size. The text could be enlarged two steps more in my opinion. It could have to do with high DPI on the screen itself (I think it has 400).
