The update is being delayed due to Google review issues.

hello,

An updated version of the app was submitted to the Play Store on March 12th. However, due to delays in review with Google, the update is currently not underway. Usually, the review is completed within 2 days or 7 days at the most, but for some reason, it is taking a long time.

After inquiring with Google, I received a response telling me to wait.
They said they would investigate and respond regarding the current update delay.
I am making this announcement in case anyone is curious.

Once the update is approved by Google, you will be able to update immediately. Additionally, future versions are also being developed without any problems.

We would like to express our gratitude to those who used it.

thank you

Stargon Browser 5.8.0

Major update history.

  • Patch related to tab memory.
  • Performance improvements and bug fixes.

hello, It’s been a while since I greeted you with an update.
This version has several changes related to tabs.
Tab-related changes are as follows.

  1. Reduced tab memory usage. (Memory usage consumed by multiple tabs)
  2. The number of tabs has been changed to be at least 0. (All tabs can be closed)
  3. When closing the current tab in tab view, the user can now select the tab without loading the previous tab.

Other changes are as follows:

  1. The state of the loading bar changes smoothly when loading the web.
  2. Changed so that Android notification permissions can be selected when downloading on Android 13 or higher devices.
  3. Web dark mode has been changed to prioritize web theme algorithms. (In accordance with Chromium policy, forced dark mode has been removed. If the web view is not the latest, it operates in the same way as before.)
  4. At Google’s request, the target version has been changed to Android 13.
  5. Performance improvements and bug fixes.

In the case of bugs, we have corrected and updated the issues that we can confirm. Some problems cannot be fixed because they are special issues. Therefore, if any bugs have not been fixed or you encounter new issues, please feel free to report them.

We would like to thank those who provided support and comments.

Update

Stargon Browser 5.7.0

  • Added “Select Text” function.
  • Improved web compatibility.
  • Bug fixes.

hello,
In this version, a “text selection” function has been added to select text with web links.
This feature can be used by clicking “Select Text” in the pop-up that appears when you long-click a link.
In addition to this, there was a problem that certain web pages were not compatible, so there was a fix related to the http network.
Other reported bugs have been fixed. Confirmed bugs are fixed, some unconfirmed bugs may not be resolved. Please leave a comment if you have any problems.

There have been many requests to add a tab restore feature. This feature is scheduled to be developed, but it seems that it takes time to find an optimized method because the tab restoration was not taken into account when the Stargon browser was initially created. We will update it as soon as development is complete.

Thank you to those who commented.
thank you
