DodoBrowser for Android

Features

• Shield: Blocks ads and trackers, and shows how many it stopped today and this week. If a site gives you trouble, you can turn it off for that site.
• Tabs: See your tabs as cards, swipe to close them, and bring back one you closed by mistake. Swipe the address bar sideways to switch tabs.
• Start screen: Shortcuts to the sites you visit most and the weather for the city you choose.
• Page translation: Translation runs on your phone; the page's text isn't sent to a server. Language files are downloaded the first time you use them, with their sizes shown.
• Private tab: When you close it, the tab's cookies and site data are deleted. It doesn't go into your history or recent tabs.
• Sync: If you sign in with Google, your bookmarks, shortcuts and open tabs sync with DodoBrowser on your computer. It's optional.
• Browsing tools: Downloads, find in page, desktop site, print and PDF. Sites that want your camera, microphone or location ask you first.
• Appearance: Light and dark themes. The Android app's interface is in Turkish for now.

Updates

When a new version is out, Dodo tells you with a “Yeni sürüm var” (New version available) option in the menu. Tap “Güncelle” (Update) and Dodo downloads the new version from this page's GitHub release, checks it against its own signature, then opens Android's “Update” window; you approve the install there. The first time, Android asks for permission to install from this source. Your tabs, history, bookmarks, shortcuts and settings are kept. This feature came with 2.0.3: if you have 2.0.2 or an older version, download 2.0.3 from this page and install it over the existing app. You can always download the file here and install it yourself too. Importing bookmarks from a file isn't in this version yet; you can bring the bookmarks from your computer by syncing with Google.

The app checks for a new version at most once a day. A version file is requested; no phone or user information is added to the request. You can turn this check off in “Ayarlar → Gizlilik ve veri” (Settings → Privacy and data). Details about the connection are explained in the Privacy policy.
