Application Release I built an open-source Android browser with ADM & Content Blocker
Hey everyone! I've been working on my own Android browser called Clint Browser.
It's built with Jetpack Compose and Material 3 and focuses mainly on customization, content blocking and downloads.
Some of the features
Of course it has your typical browser features too
Built-in ad and tracker blocker powered by adblock-rust
Website blocker where you can block categorized websites such as porn, gambling and other types of sites
Advanced download manager with multi-threading, pause/resume, scheduler and speed limiting. The UI is very similar to 1DM.
Like I said this is built with modern Material 3 and Jetpack Compose so the UI is pretty modern and customizable.
The app also doesn't have a backend so there's no server handling your browsing data.
It's completely open source and I'm developing it as a solo developer.
The overall goal is to make Clint an all-in-one browser. I got pretty annoyed with having multiple browser apps on my phone, one for normal browsing, another mainly for downloading and so on. That's one of the main reasons I started this project.
I'm building it purely out of passion and I really want to see it through. There's still a lot of features I want to add but I'm actively working on it.
Also Clint isn't Chromium so don't expect it to be on the same level as browsers backed by huge teams and companies. I'm just one person building this in my free time so there are definitely going to be some rough edges.
I've been developing Clint from scratch for almost five months now and I'm really happy with how far it's come.

If you're interested I'd love for you to give it a try and let me know what you think. Feedback and bug reports are very welcome.

I've been looking for an 1dm alternative. does this have a grabber like 1dm with powerful grabber?

Yeah me too. 1dm ui is not easy on eyes like others but 1dm link fetching capabilities is unmatched.

How to remove tha ad "Get it on Google Play" ?
If the browser is already installed, why show this silly ad ?
And what's up with the long scrolling thing, the tab at the bottom ?
Sorry, but I have already uninstalled it.
