Looking for a browser with some specific features - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In the last 2-3 days, I tried many browsers but I couldn't find one which has these features:
Able to download videos (from different sites like dailymotion and all these except Youtube (because of legal issues?). I tried Firefox since I use it on my Desktop pc and I thought it would be great to use it on Android too but Firefox Android's downloader (Flash Video Downloader add-on) doesn't work.
Can open videos with an installed app instead of using the browser's player (in my case, MX Player).
Have adblock.
Some features I like the browser to have like:
*From Next Launcher & UC Browser I like the Night mode.
*UC Browser's & Opera's downloader which you can immediately download the video instead of playing it.
Does Dolphin has some kind of downloader or adblock? I knew that you could download youtube videos with it but now you can't. What about the other sites? Can you download videos from there?

There is no one app to solve this. You can use following 3 apps
1) Dolphin browser- It features night mode. Its downloader can download files from sites where stock browser download failed.
But it cannot download videos.
2) VBrowser- It can download videos from any streaming site.
But contains ads.(see next solution)
3) Use Adaway (needs root) to avoid ads.

Natively playing wmv files from the web?

I've noticed that no matter which web browser I use (Dolphin, Maxthon, Miren, Firefox, Skyfire) if I try to view a wmv file or various other video file formats, that the files do not play natively within the web browser, instead they download. I take it that's because those particular formats are not supported to play for those browsers. Like windows is there a way to install codecs or is there a browser that can do this? I really hate downloading a bunch of web vids & then opening up a 3rd party app just to play them.
BTW I just downloaded the Firefox browser today & I really love its features.

Most likely you have Dolphin Browser setup as Desktop instead of Mobile.
Desktop = shows the webpage just if you were viewing on a PC so videos play in the browser.
Mobile = renders video as a mobile browser normally does (ie. stock browser - externally via Flash).

You might try Acethinker Video Downloader, I always use it to save online videos to my Galaxy S6 for offline viewing, It's a free web-based application to download online videos, you don't have to install anything. Compatible with Dolphin browser.

[Q] Capture Media Files From Browser

Hi,
My goal was to find an android app similar to PC Internet Download Manager.
I have found some good apps that can capture and download streaming media files from the browser.
Some of them require Adobe Flash Player. These apps can download flv, mp3, mp4, etc
The apps in this list has their own integrated browser to be able to capture media files while streaming.
Here is the list:
Media Grabber - Good but has little features.
AVD Download Video Downloader - Great but can't capture every files.
Flash Browser - It's in public beta, so it won't work for all devices, mine included.
Vget - It can only download flash videos and not stream.
Are there any other similar apps that you know? Plugins? Other methods to download streaming files?
Thanks
mpiopGe and
Vget - It can only download flash videos and not stream.

vGet is actually also able to stream flash videos. If that does not work for your, please report it here:

I've been looking for such apps for weeks now. Thanks for the suggestions.
Hi
I was searching the web for same reason and saw this thread.
Tried all mentioned apps, not working for me. But i found "turbo download manager" on google play, that has a feature to download any media contents from web pages.
Hope it's useful for you too. Good luck
Just install AdGuard and make sure the Filtering Log is switched on. Play any content anywhere in any app on your phone and it will probably show you the link. You can then copy the link and open it in a browser and try to download it there. Does not work always though.

You can not directly download videos from opera mini. You can use UC Browser. But the best way is to use SnapTube Video Downloader or TubeMate app.

Of course you can. See attached image
I don't recommend the method mentioned in OP though. Because you're going to a different website ( which appears to be 'savefrom.net') by putting 'ss' in front of YouTube link. I'd rather use NewPipe for YouTube downloads because it's free, open source, light on system resources and completely ads free. Tubemate and snaptube are heavily bloated and ads infested.

Snaptube is the best:good::good:
Download YouTube videos by using VidPaw
Try VidPaw. It is a free online video downloader which is compatible with almost all browser. Just insert "paw" behind the word "youtube" in the link address and then you can directly download youtube videos.
Man just use a video download website. I personally use tubegeter(dot)com and I think it'll work on opera mini as well. It's totally free and you can also download entire playlists with it

How to use default video player instead of website video player

Hi.
I have been using UC browser for very long time to watch online videos. Uc has its default browser which is very handy to use.
Now the India banned the UC browser, its time to switch.
Now i am switched opera, the main issue is that when i play the website video it uses its own video player istead of default opera video player.
How can i use the website video to different video player, tried every browser firefox, dolphine, brave etc. However everyone is playing the same website video player which is very difficult to use.
So please suggest me how to do so. Used the mx decoder method by making it default also but its not working.
Waiting for someone to guide this poor soul toward the heaven....:angel:

Hi. You'll need to be more specific. Online videos as in what exactly. Embedded videos on websites or video streaming sites.
Can you give some example of the online videos for us to refer?
Personally i use samsung internet, with its useful built in ad blocking plugins..
You can try to check your browser settings. Here is mine on samsung internet.

Thanks for your reply,
I think i am talking about embedded videos, However, the Samsung internet works after applying this smart video assistant.
Can you suggest some more type of browsers having the same feature??
