avoiding (mobile) browser history (lemmy.world)

Is there any way to not have my Voyager browsing show up in my default browser (firefox) history. I do actually occasionally use my browser history to find pages I've looked at while browsing the internet... But my browser history is absolutely overflowing with hundreds of page views from using the "app". I know it's a web app but is it possible to have it use private mode (even better if I don't have to login every time I open the app if using private browsing).

On Android, you could use Hermit, which is an "Advanced Web Browser for Power Users, optimized for Lite Apps & Privacy."

This is exactly what I needed :-) not quite the same plugin support as Firefox but it'll do. Thank you

I tried, but it doesn't work as well. Has problems with scrolling etc.

How do you install a lite app without the browser badge in the corner? Every app I install has the hermit logo in the bottom right as if it's a bookmark.

I don't know if you can. I dont see an option to disable it in Hermit's settings. However, I did notice that badge when I installed the Voyager PWA in Vanadium (GrapheneOS Chromium variant), so I know it doesn't necessarily mean "bookmark" nor is it unique to Hermit.

You could always ask in [email protected]
