Chrome/Chromium-based browsers for Android e-Ink devices

qtw · 02-12-2018, 02:07 AM

I like to use Chrome because it is simple,fast and always latest, even if on my Android eReader Boyue T61. Months ago, I finally found a way to inject custom CSS to webpage and make all the webpage become e-Ink friendly in Chrome.
I want to share the mod APKs and some skills. Anybody like this?

Come with a appetizer first:
Ecosia Browser 3.1.4
Compatibility: Android 4.1+
Features:
Based on Chromium 59.0.3071.135
Custom CSS
Disable smooth scrolling
Enable gpu rasterization
Launch with single-process mode

How to install?
Requirement:
Root access
Root explorer
common sense

1.Install as system app
2.Patch Android via Lucky Patcher and install in normal way

Download:Google Drive

Enjoy and use it at your own risk.

So you found a way to inject custom CSS to webpage and make all the webpage become e-Ink friendly in Chrome. What's the procedure?

Sorry, I am lazy. So don't look forward to the video. I upload Ecosia Browser 3.1.4 e-ink mod, try it by yourself. Hopefully it will help you.

I wonder if it'd be possible to just edit the Chromium source code directly (after downloading), inject custom CSS (or as a Chrome extension?), change some accent colours if needed or wanted, optionally run Ungoogled Chromium scripts, compile, and put it in a custom F-Droid repository? Or modify something else like the official Google Chrome, or LineageOS web browser?

I know that F-Droid offers a "Fennec F-Droid" that is based on Firefox and just has some of the Mozilla annoyances removed, like Pocket integration (at least it was an annoyance to me).

Hey Mustard!

Please check https://www.bromite.org/. You can build it from source, but it will take you a few hours/days.
