Did you mean “offline” as in not online (which makes little sense for a browser), or more like “not tied to a specific service that may hold your data hostage or infringe upon your privacy”?
If the latter, then I’ve found that a simple HTML file with manually added entries works great. I’ve set it as the home page in all my browsers. I retain full control over content and layout as well.)
Not exactly. It’s possible to make an app run on older versions (select lower minSdk
) and yet take advantage of newer features (select higher targetSdk
). This one can be easily be fixed by the F-Droid developers like almost all other developers have already.
Droidify is amazing, I’d totally recommend that over the official F-Droid client any time. 👍
Disappearing icons is a bug with your launcher, nothing to do with the actual browser you’re using.
If you’re looking for a browser that was specifically designed for web apps, check out Hermit. (Disclaimer: I’m the author).
We’ve seen reports of this exact error message, but there’s no clear way for us as a browser maker to help debug.
Our best guess is that there’s some web framework somewhere that’s doing some non-standard verification that Hermit does not pass, presumably because of the tight privacy restrictions that Hermit enables by default.
If you have a way to contact the web admins, that would be really helpful. Even if you can figure out which specific web framework this is, we can try to look into it.
Hi, sharing to Hermit allows for features like:
- opening links from another browser in Hermit (e.g. if you are reading a Lemmy link in Chrome, you can share a link from Chrome to Hermit, and it will open in the Lemmy Lite App.
- You can also pass entire URLs to other sites, e.g. set up a Facebook Share URL so the site can accept the URL.
If piped.video can accept a URL as part of a GET URL, you can use the %u
parameter to use it.
