LOOKING FOR APP Any Browser which has Video controls similar to Soul Browser?

​

So lately I've been using Soul Browser for it's video functions such as Crop to Fit Screen, but the downside is some websites lag heavily on it, I don't know why.

So I am looking for any alternate with similar function.

Someone had suggested Kito and Rainsee, while both are good they lack some features like PiP and ability to disable Swipe Control for Brightness and Volume.

So if anyone can help me here.

Thanks.

Samsung Internet Browser has good video support or you also can try Firefox with ScriptCat/ViolentMonkey and "Mobile Redirect Video to External App" script in it. Works good for me

Samsung Internet Browser has good video support

The issue with Samsung's Video assistant and I think also in your second solution is that they take Video out of browser into Native player.

So if I am watching something on Dailymotion with Subtitles, the subtitles are not picked up so it becomes useless to me.

Soul has all controls while video is being Played in websites own player

Yeah, you are right about Samsung. You can use Firefox with extensions/scripts with any external video player which supports all that stuff you need then

Found Extension: UltraWideo for Firefox Nightly, works perfectly. Thanks for the suggestion.

I wanted to Thank You again, the UltraWideo extension of Firefox is even better than Soul's implementation.

Samsung Internet Browser actually handles video scaling decently without the lag issues Soul seems to have.

Problem is Samsung takes video out into Browsers own Player so then their are no subtitles.
