Built for everyday browsing
Useful browser tools.
Not unnecessary weight.
The current Android codebase includes a growing set of browser essentials. Features remain subject to device and WebView compatibility testing.
Bookmarks & history
Locally stored bookmarks and bounded browsing history for quick return to useful pages.
Downloads & uploads
Android DownloadManager integration and website file-upload support.
Privacy controls
Private browsing profile, HTTPS-focused handling and permission prompts for sensitive capabilities.
Find & share
Find-in-page, share actions, desktop-site mode and selectable search providers.
Offline reading
User-triggered text snapshots for reading saved pages without a network connection.
A deliberate engineering choice
Small app layer.
System-maintained web engine.
Yehaw uses Android System WebView, a Chromium-based engine supplied and updated by the device. This keeps Yehaw from shipping its own full Chromium engine inside the APK. Actual memory use and site compatibility depend on the device, Android version and installed WebView provider.
Current architecture
- Native Kotlin Android application
- Android System WebView rendering
- Memory-aware background tab policy
- Local SQLite browser data
- Android DownloadManager handoff
- No account sync service claimed or advertised
Development status
Building and validating in the open.
The project is in active development. Automated Android build and emulator checks are being run; device testing, security review, release signing and a public distribution package are still required before launch.
