The main navigation features are depicted in the image above.
For each tab it is possible to enable/disable:
These settings (except desktop mode) are inherited from global settings when a new tab is created. They will always be applied when a new web site is opened.
FREE Browser allows bookmark specific settings for JavaScript, DOM-Storage, and Desktop mode. These are set from the current tab when storing the bookmark and can be changed when editing it. If a bookmark is opened these settings will be applied, no matter which other settings are valid for the tab. If this is the case the bookmark symbol in "Exceptions" will be highlighted. When browsing within the domain of the bookmark these settings will remain.
In addition you can define domains where Cookies, DOM-Storage, and JavaScript are always allowed (see Settings -> Browser Settings). Cookies will override the global cookies setting. DOM-Storage and JavaScript will override the tab specific settings. If one of these exceptions is active the respective icon will also be highlighted in "Exceptions". A click on the icon will add/remove an exception. Third party cookies are only supported if cookies are enabled AND fingerprint protection is switched off.
In additions there are settings which are only available as global settings and apply to all websites:
FREE Browser comes equipped with integrated support for Mozilla's Cookie Banner Rules.
This feature allows the browser to automatically inject cookies that opt out of any unnecessary cookies, while also attempting to click opt out if a banner is present.
However, please note that this functionality is only available for banners that are not located within child windows (runContext: 'child'
, used by very few rules only).
If you notice any missing rules, please open an issue in Mozilla's repository after trying with Firefox first.
Important: Cookie Banner Blocker requires JavaScript!
FREE Browser supports simple user scripts in Greasemonkey style. (e.g. Github Old Feed ) The following tags:
@run-at: If defined as "document-start" scripts run in onPageStarted() of Android WebView, otherwise scripts run in onPageFinished.
@match: At least one tag required. E.g. @match https://*/
to match all https urls
If the expression after @match starts and ends with "/" it is treated as a regex.
Other tags are NOT supported at the moment, e.g.
In this section you can define your favourite start page, search engine, etc. You can select your favourite StevenBlack AdBlock list. You can also enter list of additional domains (one domain per line) which should be blocked. And this is the place to manage exceptions for cookies, javascript, and DOM storage.
You can save / restore app data (=databases), bookmarks, and preferences. Data will be stored in Documents/browser_backup.
