    Soul2 Browser initial release 🎉

    Soul2 Browser is a decompiled & modded source for Soul Browser by SoulSoft, which hasn't been updated for 7 months, with v1.4.85.

    It aims to fix long-standing bugs & add long-awaited features :

    • 🛡️ Privacy : All tracking, advertising and in-app purchases were removed ;
    • 💿 Added YouTube background playback & fixed Picture-in-Picture : Listen on Soul while doing something else ;
    • 📄 PDF previews : No need to download before reading anymore ;
    • 🕶 Website-specific dark theme : Disable force-dark specifically for websites that are already dark (or look bad with it) ;
    • ⚙️ Improved customizability : Link preview layout, tab long-press menu, default tab group color, & more ;
    • 🕐 Full timestamps in history : With hours, minutes and seconds ;
    • 📥 Fixed JS-triggered file downloads : The end of downloadfile.txt !

    The development will mainly address the bug reports & feature requests from the official bug tracker and will be advertised there, requests for Soul2 in particular will also be welcomed there, with the hope that Soul's creator will eventually notice the continued interest shown by the community for their app, and decide to resume maintenance and backport the added improvements, at which point this modding project will have achieved its goal and be terminated.

    The app is named Soul2 Browser (net.kaki87.soul2) for stable builds and Soul2⁺ Browser (net.kaki87.soul2.testing) for testing builds; both support configuration import/export in Settings -> Backup between each other and the official app.

    Enjoy !

    EDIT: as I'm still working actively on adding features for this initial release, I should have tagged this release v2.0.0-rc.1 instead of just v2.0.0 (suggesting it's final). Don't worry if you see more recent v2.0.0-rc.2 (and so on) also called "initial" releases, that's normal.
