SmartCookieWeb

A secure, free and open source WebView-based web browser for Android.


Get it on Google Play Get it on F-Droid

Beta ReleasesDocsWebsite

Important note: Google recently announced that embedded browser frameworks, or any browsers that fake their user agent will be banned from Google sign in starting January next year. Now, even if you change your user agent, Google logins redirected from other apps may not work. Turning off "Allow sites to open new windows" in Advanced settings and turning on "Remove identifying HTTP headers" in Privacy and Security Settings, as well as setting the user agent in General Settings to "Mobile" should solve the issue.
