As an alternative, there’s also Native Alpha and Hermit (my personal favorite) on Android. Play with the settings to make it full screen and frameless (no address bar at the top). It also has pull down to refresh.
On kbin, you can then go to your settings and sticky the navbar as well so that it’s always at the top as you browse. Personal preference and all that.
Sick! Thanks!!
Jerboa is a good alternative for Android, too. I’ve been using it for a bit now and it seems to work great.
Cool! Good to know
I tried Hermit and noticed that Voyager doesn’t automatically switch between Dark and Light theme (in the night / morning). Workaround is to kill (force close) the app and open it again.
Do you also face this issue? I can’t remember if with Chrome I was facing it…
It saved my sessions in Hermit, so I don’t think I had that issue. But I definitely had that issue when using Brave with it not saving my settings/session between loads.
Now I’m trying this “Native Alpha” app. And with this one seems to adapt the system theme (dark or light) without needing a restart of the power app.
I think I’ll keep this app to run voyager!
For what it’s worth, Native Alpha is also open source. I found that out after the fact. So if that’s something you value, Native Alpha might be the better choice overall. Hope it serves you well!
Yes and it also works out of the box for (I haven’t had to change any setting…). For example in the other app I had to configure some stuff to hide the top URL bar or something similar.
Here I just added wefwef url app, I created the icon and voilà!
Wait, where’s the option to sticky the top bar? I am not seeing it in my settings but maybe I’m just blind.
This is on kbin. Username in the upper right, Settings, scroll down through the stuff there and stop when you see the Delete Account button. Look for the small cog and click it. Turn on the option to sticky navbar - you may want to toggle infinite scrolling and maybe the show icons options while there as well.
Oh wow that was kind of hidden, but you just improved this site for me so much. Thank you! Some of these seem better defaults than what is present.
Infinite scrolling not being default makes sense IMO. It’s a highly addictive feature, and a bit part of these open source, federated communities is they try to avoid the addictiveness that big tech platforms try to enforce onto their users if possible.
Sometimes the feature is highly liked by people, so they add it as a non-default option.
