Latest update
bURLy now protects your privacy with new options to always use HTTPS when available, even if the original link was HTTP, and strip tracking data from links. With a new way of showing links, it's easy to see what site you're going to, and whether it's secure.
For the full list of changes, and ideas of how to use the new features, see http://shadowburst.com/2014/09/08/reclaim-the-web-with-burly-1-0/
bURLy browser chooser APK Description
bURLy helps protect your privacy, battery, and data plan by giving you more control over web links in apps. bURLy is a supercharged replacement for the standard browser chooser.
✓ bURLy unshortens short URLs (e.g. goo.gl, bit.ly), redirects, and other tricks people use to hide links. No more do you open a short URL in Chrome only to find out it was a Youtube video all along.
✓ bURLy discovers what kind of file the link points to, so you can open images directly in the Gallery, or download documents, without opening a web browser.
✓ Instead of Android's simplistic Just once/Always buttons, create rules based on URLs, file types, or apps. It's only a few clicks: easier than making a file association in Windows, or filtering email in Gmail.
✓ Protect your security & privacy, and stop spies: bURLy can automatically detect when websites support SSL and use it, even if the original link wasn't HTTPS.
✓ Maybe you have two browsers installed, but some sites only work in Firefox, and others only work in Chrome: now you can create rules to open the right browser for each site automatically!
✓ You can even completely block links to a given website or app. If an app always sends you to a spam site, just make a rule to "do nothing" for links to "spamsite.com".
✓ With bURLy's unique "manual override" button, you can turn off rules for a single occasion. Say you usually open images in the Gallery, but this one time you want to use Chrome, or you want to add a more specific rule for a particular site. Hit "manual override" and click the link (from any app) to bring up the chooser again.
✓ bURLy remembers which are your preferred apps even when you install or remove apps. No more "I said always, dammit" every time you try out a new app.
bURLy needs some permissions in order to work:-
INTERNET to investigate links before opening them. bURLy doesn't store or share with Shadowburst or third parties what links you click or what apps you use.
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE to offer a "Wi-Fi only" option
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE so you can download files to the "Downloads" folder
NFC so scanning a tag can examine its URL with bURLy, and even open it with apps that don't support NFC
With your support, we hope to be able to add even more features in future versions:-
• Control your privacy by previewing and stripping referrer and analytics info from links
• Set individual rules to only work on Wi-Fi or mobile data, so you can e.g. open YouTube links only on Wi-Fi
• Tasker integration so you can use Tasker profiles to turn rules on and off in all kinds of situations
• Integrated spam and malware detection. Stop malware links before they even get to your browser!
