The original purpose of this project is to make a decent browser for Liny catself to drive daily after upgrading to HarmonyOS NEXT. But later after realizing that a lot of people out there may also need such an app, this project is made completely opensource for every body to use.
However, due to the time and stuff scheduling issues due by Liny catself, issues may not be checked and updates may not be pushed so in time. In most cases plenty is lagging behind, so, thank you for your kind understanding!!
If you see that the last commit was made quite a lot of weeks, or even months ago, please don't consider this project dead so easily, since Liny may be so lucky to be busy writing essays that stuffs this side would not be taken good care of for a period of time.
Therefore, the best solution to this problem is to open an issue so that Liny would feel so anxious that the update of this project would be selected to be prioritized.
Let's say: Thank you, issues!

In build_auto directory there are the latest build products for testing, which may contain some unknown issues, and are not suggested for long term use. However, if you have installed one of those, remember to check for updates here frequently!
Though in most cases beta versions are more stable than stable releases...
Type in urls or keywords in the search box at the bottom of the app, then return or click the little magnifying glass to submit.
Click the icon with four (2x2) little dots to show page information and more functions, click again to collapse the panel.
Liny's Browser is a basic browser built for HarmonyOS NEXT, aiming in providing a light-weight solution for users with devices at any performance level.
This project is inspired by tuyafeng's marvelous work Via, the cutest cyber fox Firefox from Mozilla, and helped by source codes from OpenHarmony's Browser Demo & Westinyang's fork Browser CE. Thank you all with your works!! (*￣3￣)╭
