What Fulguris is
Fulguris is a free, open-source web browser for Android devices. It organizes tabs into multiple named sessions, letting users switch between tab groups, and offers both vertical and horizontal tab views. A combined bar handles addresses, page titles, and searches. Bookmarks can be imported, exported, placed in folders, and backed up or restored through cloud services. Privacy controls include incognito browsing, tracking-cookie removal, and clearing tabs, history, cookies, and caches. The built-in ad blocker accepts Fulguris definitions plus local or online hosts files. Search choices include Google, Bing, Yahoo, StartPage, and DuckDuckGo, with Google suggestions. Reader mode and inverted, high-contrast, and grayscale rendering support accessibility needs. Orbot Proxy and I2P support are marked beta. Releases come through Google Play, direct download, and F-Droid; direct download and F-Droid provide unlimited tabs without a subscription.
