is yaaby html5 ready?

Posted on Leave a Comment

Hey folks!

With the current version 0.2.6 of me, myself & I did another benchmark: HTML5 this time! You know, benchmarking myself is a hobby which I enjoy from time to time!

Q: Is YAABy HTML5 ready?
A: Oh, yes, definitely:

YAABy 0.2.6: HTML5 results

If you want to check out the screen shots in detail, see the nice gallery here:

Hint: these were freshly made in June in full screen mode when version 0.2.6 was released.

What happens here is quite neat: these results not only show that I’m already dead ready for the future of the web, these show also which regions need improvement or even no improvement at all.

So, from what these figures show, I’m already maxed out regarding:

* parsing rules
* web components
* location and orientation
* input
* communication
* streaming
* responsive images
* animation
* storage
* files
* other

What still needs minimum improvement, but almost perfect:

* forms
* streams
* peer to peer
* user interaction
* performance
* security
* video
* 2D graphics
* 3D and vr
* scripting

To be honest, the following stuff is needing some improvement:

* elements
* audio
* web applications

And, of course there are two categories where I badly suck:

* output
* payments

Just check out the details in the attached screen shots above. This is pure Android browser enlightenment right here!

Hope you’re still enjoying me! Keep on browsing! <3

Sweat everywhere. But I stayed cool: as of today there is a complete new version out!

It was only a small version step for all the Droids. But a major leap for me, myself and I. Here’s an overview of my newest additions:

NEW: got my own YAABy UA string
NEW: compatible with all the Chromebooks out there
NEW: compatible with Android 7.x.x (Nougat)

As you may see, I keep my promises. I’m no fake. 100% real Android app apk clingy-bingy. And finally you got your stupid favicons. I’ll eat them all! Muhahaha…

As always, I appreciate those too who don’t believe in package managers. Who needs this shit, right!? Gotcha. Here my direct apk, girls & guys:

YAABy Version 0.2.6

You like!? Great! Then buy me a beer! Or some heavy Bitcoin, dafuq! Now, please, I’m in a hurry!

Enjoy summer! Sun is shinin’, weather is sweet, yeah…

Good day!

This week I wrote personal history, because thanks to you I hit the 1.000+ downloads mark on Google Play Store!

As you all might imagine, this makes me one of those rare super happy droids which appear not quite often in the wild:

super happy droid

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! <3

Of course, being completely free & independent comes at costs: the last release of me was sometime last year. But be assured that this here is all still work in progress and experimental, as life is in a [beta].

So, to show you a little bit of the work that needs to be done, here’s a short list:

  • bookmarks
  • favicon support
  • tabbed browsing

The next release in a couple of weeks will see a little bit tweaking here and there, I can’t promise to realize one of these mentioned features already. But don’t be sad: I’m working on it! Promise! ^^

So far, let’s celebrate! For me it’s a good sign there is interest in indie web browsers. This keeps me motivated in coding, coding, coding. Well, on for the coding!

See you soon & sincerely yours,
YAABy

yaaby 0.2.5 released!

Happy Valentine’s! New YAABy version 0.2.5 is out!

Today is the first major release in 2016 and as always: A lot of new & cool stuff happened to me! Firstly, let’s see my newest batch of screenshots! Le shots:

The newest features are here to work with me in a more faster and efficient way. Le features en detail:

Version 0.2.5:
NEW: URL address field remembers where you are/were
NEW: URL field deleteable via “X” button
NEW: “Open with…”-dialog: YAABy directly chooseable (beta)
NEW: Compatible with Android 6.x.x (Marshmellow)
NEW: Screenshot updates
FIX: Facebook eliminated

No matter how often you switch between Android apps, YAABy (me, ehemm…) will remember where you left of: My address bar remembers where you left and now also shows you if you are visiting a website with (https://) or without SSL (http://).

Next thing: Via the “X” button it is now possible to delete an URL in no time. So you don’t have to hassle through the URL field via your cursor. Finished reading a website? Click the “X” and type a new URL in no time!

Furthermore, I’m finally chooseable as any web browser you know from Android via the “Open with…”-dialog. But take care: This feature is still beta! Find out for yourself and don’t expect wonders! Thanks.

Finally, I also dropped Facebook. There is no Facebook page anymore for YAABy. Well, who am I? Maintaining an own website without supporting it!? You got me!

If you don’t want to visit the app stores where I’m available, here is my direct APK:

YAABy Version 0.2.5

All the best,
YAABy

yaaby 0.1.6 released!

New version of me today, small tweaks and two new languages:

Version 0.1.6:
NEW: Scroll bar comeback
NEW: Message of success when history was deleted successfully
NEW: Hindi and Chinese (Traditional) support

As with the scroll bar, sometimes it is just useful to see how much you have to read or scroll on a web page. So this feature is more an addition as a comeback, but it was always there, just not visible.

The message of success comes handy when a user exits me after this action. So he knows when pressing the back button, “well, good job, but there are no websites left I can go back to so I exit, Holmes!”

The two new languages are for my users from India and, mainly, Taiwan. Me thinks those in Taiwan would also understand simplified Chinese, but I’m not here to judge someone and/or force a user in what language he has to choose. And, as for unrooted devices, this may sound strange, but even the language is locked on some Android devices out there (yes, very sad T_T), so this will be useful in more than one way.

There was no real screenshot update, only the version number changed. I don’t want to upload this, cause I’m on vacation on the Bahamas and checking out the chicks. What I can do, however, as always, is to give to the direct APK if you don’t want to use an app store for whatever reason:

YAABy Version 0.1.6

That’s. It. Remember: _Always_ use the newest version!

I’m working on some more advanced features, difficult stuff. I can’t mention it, and unfortunately I don’t even know if it will work. So maybe this version is the last EVER!1 No, of course not. Stay tuned.

Enjoy the rest of your summer,
yours,
YAABy

Yay! Not bad for a new little Smartphone web browser which is still in beta:

According to everbody’s favorite online encyclopedia-darling this result is better than those of:

* Opera Mini (97/100)
* Nokia Browser Symbian Belle (93/100)
* webOS (92/100)
* MicroB (94/100)
* PSP Browser (11/100)
* Nintendo 3DS Browser (92/100)
* Wii Internet Channel (40/100)
* Nintendo DS (50/100)
* Nintendo DSi (59/100)
* Internet Explorer For Xbox 360 (97/100)
* Internet Explorer 8 (20/100)
* Internet Explorer 9 (95/100)

Harhar!

Maybe this is one of the reasons Opera App Store doesn’t accept competition. o.O

So long, on to the next test! 😀

Yours,
YAABy
