    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) ;
    • 🔐 Cloudflare WARP : Route HTTP requests through Cloudflare's VPN service ;
    • ⚙️ Improved customizability : Link preview layout, tab bar & URL bar long-press menu, default tab group color, & more ;
    • 🕐 Full timestamps in history : With hours, minutes and seconds ;
    • 🧑‍💻 DevTools & JSON Viewer : Load Eruda DevTools from the menu, without having to toggle a userscript every time ; Read JSON responses with the comfort of Firefox's viewer ;
    • 🖼️ Image title/alt text display : A more useful description on long-press ;
    • 📋 Tab list improvements : Copy a few or all tabs' URLs as a newline-separated list to the clipboard, select ranges of tabs via long-press ;
    • ℹ️ WebView version information : Check which version of Android System WebView your system is running Soul on ;
    • ⚡ Improved performance : Opening previewed page as a tab no longer requires a reload ; Advanced settings allow disabling saved tabs, for fresh pages at first load ;
    • 📥 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 !
