VeryWeb

Project Overview

VeryWeb is an open-source Android browser focused on being lightweight, ad-free, and highly customizable. It uses a nested structure to return to previous pages without reloading, and optimizes 301 and 302 redirects for smoother page switching. The browser includes multi-level bookmarks, local history, and quick notes, along with dark mode, resource sniffing, and userscript support.

Bring browsing back to something light and pure, yet shaped to your own habits.

Key Features

• No reload on back: a nested structure returns to the previous page without refreshing
• Redirect optimization: optimizes 301 and 302 handling to cut repeated page loads
• Multi-level bookmarks: supports nested folders and HTML bookmark import
• Local data management: stores browsing history in SQLite and offers lightweight local notes
• Homepage customization: customize the homepage, header text, avatar, and CSS styles
• Dark mode: converts pages to dark via script injection
• Resource sniffing: automatically extracts video and image resources from pages
• Practical tools: saves pages as MHT or PDF, scans QR codes, and manages downloads in-app

• Android users who want speed
• Users tired of web ads
• Users who like customizing the interface
• Downloaders who need resource sniffing
• Users of userscripts
