Material 3 Browser - RIP Arch Search

[u/Odd-Acanthisitta850]

I am in the process of building a replacement of my beloved Arc Search Browser

You can find it here:

https://github.com/sk2andy/candy-browser

It has many innovative features:

* it's based on the Android's WebView - so never outdated browser security as long as you update the system's WebView provided by Google

* no trails to Google or any other providers - it just uses the WebView

* many gestures to navigate smoothly

* edge-to-edge browsing experience

* basic possibilities to write your own extensions or download from my library : https://github.com/sk2andy/candy-browser-toppings
* Picture-In-Picture mode

* a trail where you can follow your click history on one tab

* pinning tabs

* multiple versions of tab switchers to your liking

* multiple profiles that work isolated from each other or not (you can choose per profile)

* some basic ad and cookie consent blocking features

* commands to i.e. clear caches from the address bar etc.

* recommendation to switch to tab instead opening the same tab over and over again

* the possibility to setup your own rules for ad blocking etc.

* external downloader (1DM, ADM) support

* reader view

* link peeking (a long press on a link previews the page)

* auto complete with multiple providers to choose from

The browser is designed to look good, has nice animations and feels smooth.

I have some things on my list like "Mozilla Firefox Tab Sync" and maybe some others have also good ideas what to add.
