FOSS Browser uses the latest Material You design libraries. Following system day/night mode and a wallpaper based theme are just two features of this new library. The UI is optimized for one-hand-use. All UI-elements are at the bottom of the screen.

More features:

• Play audio on background.
• Keep screen on.
• Open links in background.
• Restore tabs on restart.

FOSS Browser uses profiles to protect your privacy. For each profile you can enable or disable: AdBlock, JavaScript, cookies, fingerprint protection and much more. Profiles can also be saved for domains ("github.com" ⇒ Trusted website). These saved domains always overwrite the currently used profile. So, for example, "github.com" will always open with the trusted profile, even if you are browsing in the protected mode.

More privacy features:

• Built-in AdBlock, which updates automatically. You can decide which content to block. AdBlock hosts are taken from Steven Black - AdBlock hosts.
• Third-party cookies can not be enabled.
• Enable or disable Android-autofill.
• Delete browser data (on app exit).
• Choose between different search engines (or set a custom one).
• FOSS Browser itself doesn't collect any data: Privacy policy
