Народный браузер Knopar

Это обращение в фонд за средствами которые могут создавать Всемирный Народный браузер Кнопарь в нормальных условиях и создавать команду. Срок рассмотрения 3-4 месяца, что вызывает массу вопросов и подозрение в коррумпированности сектора экономики, а учитывая что фонд из Нидерландов, то возникает логический вопрос - почему на территориях которые всех покупают нет проверки на коррупцию, ведь это первый признак деградации или формирование мышления с животным строем психики. Обращение сделано из Нидерландов и поиском фонда занималась СОИ Евгения.

synopsis
Browser Knopar LF is an open-source Android browser developed since 2023 under a worldwide people's license. Built on Android WebView, it already outperforms major competitors (Chrome, Firefox, Vivaldi) in user control and transparency features — confirmed by independent expert assessment in May 2026.
Three unique innovations absent from any existing browser:
— Analysis button: intercepts and reports all data collection attempts by open tabs in real time, including fingerprinting, cookies and tracking patterns. Users download the full report.
— Fragment + Note system: saves selected text with source URL, date and timestamp to JSON files, with personal notes attached.
— Button Constructor: 4 configurable buttons with short/long press = 8 simultaneous actions, 5 saved profiles = 40 stored assignments. No mass-market browser offers this.
Requested: €50,000 for 6 months.
Goal: migrate Knopar LF from Android WebView to GeckoView (Mozilla) or Chromium engine — giving all existing innovations a professional infrastructure independent of Android/Google constraints. All code published under GNU GPL v3.
experience
Browser Knopar LF has been in active development since 2023 by a single developer — the project lead of Logical Formula MTÜ, a non-profit organization registered in Estonia (reg. 80653354).
¤DevelopmentHistory:
— September 2025: Fragment system with automatic metadata (date, time, URL)
— November 2025: Analysis function and Note system
— April 2026: Full RSS/Atom news module with scopes, categories, diagnostics, JSON export
— May 2026: Button Constructor (4 buttons, 8 actions, 5 profiles, 40 assignments), Dark/Light/Black themes, WebRTC camera and live streaming support, code refactoring (UrlRouter, BookmarksRepository modules)
Independent expert assessment (May 11, 2026) comparing Knopar LF against Chrome, Firefox, Vivaldi and Samsung Internet confirmed: Knopar LF is the only mobile browser offering multi-slot button configuration with short/long press and saved profiles. Recommended for teenagers as a research tool and for users 45+ for text size control.
The organization also developed and distributes:
— Gaz Keyslink: cross-platform hashtag-link infrastructure plugin for Joomla 3/4/5/6, Drupal and WordPress — mandatory foundation for social networks on these platforms
— Teest Classic v2.6.6: full testing system deployed on three live domains
— redoman.technology: live social network prototype running since May 9, 2026 with daily active users
All projects and financials published openly at logicalformula.com/pps — folk transparency standard.

comparison
All major mobile browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Vivaldi, Samsung Internet, Brave, Opera) are built on two engines: Blink (Google/Chromium) or Gecko (Mozilla). Despite using the same foundations, none of them have developed the combination of features that Knopar LF already offers.
Independent expert assessment (May 2026) confirmed the following comparison:
Button customization: Chrome, Firefox, Vivaldi offer 1 configurable slot. Samsung Internet has a fixed panel. Knopar LF offers 4 buttons with short/long press = 8 simultaneous actions, 5 saved profiles = 40 stored assignments. No equivalent exists in the mass-market browser segment.
Data transparency: No existing browser has a built-in Analysis function that intercepts, records and allows download of data collection requests from open tabs — including fingerprinting, cookies and tracking patterns — without extensions or third-party tools.
Information management: No existing browser combines fragment saving with source metadata, personal notes, JSON export and category management in a single built-in system.
RSS/Atom news with scopes: Mass-market browsers offer curated news feeds based on opaque algorithms. Knopar LF gives users full control — custom sources, named scope presets, JSON import/export of configurations, channel diagnostics and health reports.
Current limitation — honest statement: Knopar LF runs on Android WebView, a lightweight wrapper that limits architectural freedom. Major browsers run on full engines (Blink ~50MB, Gecko ~50MB) that allow independent development unconstrained by OS requirements. This grant funds the migration to GeckoView or Chromium — giving all existing innovations a professional infrastructure and making Knopar LF a browser of the highest standard, fully independent of Android/Google constraints.
Result: a genuinely open, transparent, user-controlled browser that does not exploit its users — the opposite of the current market standard.
challenges
1. Engine migration — core challenge
Migrating from Android WebView to GeckoView (Mozilla) or Chromium requires rebuilding the browser's core architecture. All existing functions — Analysis, Fragment, Note, Button Constructor, RSS module, WebRTC — must be rewritten and validated on the new engine. This is the primary engineering task of the project. The result: full independence from Android/Google constraints and the ability to develop features without OS-level restrictions.
2. Preserving all existing innovations during migration
The Button Constructor with its 4-button, 8-action, 5-profile architecture is deeply integrated into the current codebase (UrlRouter, BookmarksRepository, BookmarksMenuController modules). Migrating this system to a new engine without regression requires careful architectural planning and step-by-step validation.
3. Analysis function on new engine
The current Analysis function intercepts network requests through WebView's JavaScript bridge. On GeckoView or Chromium this requires a different implementation approach — native network monitoring APIs instead of JS injection. The result will be more reliable, more precise and harder to circumvent by malicious sites.
4. SSL and Safe Browsing
Currently absent from Knopar LF due to WebView limitations. The new engine enables proper SSL certificate validation and Safe Browsing implementation — closing the main security gap in the current version.
5. Cross-platform expansion
The new engine opens the path to a desktop version (Windows/Linux) — impossible on WebView. This is not a goal of this grant but a direct consequence of the migration that will be pursued in the next funding cycle.
6. Fragment and JSON system at scale
As user base grows, the Fragment system needs stress-testing for performance with large JSON files and multiple categories. The new engine environment allows proper background processing without UI thread blocking.
7. RSS module stability
The news module with scopes, diagnostics and JSON export needs validation under the new engine — particularly the network layer for RSS/Atom feed fetching and the rendering of full articles on transparent background.
ecosystem
Knopar LF operates within the broader ecosystem of Logical Formula MTÜ — a non-profit organization building open-source tools for information independence and public safety.
Connected products forming one ecosystem:
— Gaz Keyslink: hashtag-link infrastructure plugin for Joomla/Drupal/WordPress — the analytical backbone that Knopar LF integrates with for link tracking and behavioral analysis
— Teest Classic v2.6.6: open testing system deployed on three live domains — used for user research and community feedback collection
— redoman.technology: live social network prototype running since May 9, 2026 — Knopar LF serves as the primary browser for accessing and managing content on this platform
Community engagement model:
The project office model — operating from different European capitals every 2-3 months — creates direct contact with local developer communities. The browser is demonstrated live, feedback is collected immediately, developers are invited to contribute.
All projects, grant applications and financial reports published openly at logicalformula.com/pps — folk transparency standard. Anyone can see what is being built, why and with whose money.
Target users:
— Teenagers and students: research tool for collecting, annotating and analyzing information
— Users 45+: text size control on any website without layout distortion
— Researchers and journalists: Analysis function as evidence collection tool
— Developers: open codebase under GNU GPL v3 — fork, improve, deploy
Deployment: anyone can take the open-source code and build their own version. No central server. No permission needed. The migration to GeckoView or Chromium makes this even more accessible — standard engine, standard toolchain, standard developer knowledge.

I checked the box but did not receive an email
Besides the obvious candidate for undelivered email (check your spam folder if you have it), some people run into their own outdated email configuration. Do you use a legacy forwarding mechanism for your mail, from Адрес электронной почты защищен от спам-ботов. Для просмотра адреса в вашем браузере должен быть включен Javascript. to Адрес электронной почты защищен от спам-ботов. Для просмотра адреса в вашем браузере должен быть включен Javascript.? In that case, the final mailserver may toss these out due the use of modern anti-spoofing techniques (notably DMARC, DKIM and SPF) at our side. Essentially, forwarding the original email as was done historically means that you can't satisfy the origin and integrity conditions - and thus our email to you will be discarded...

The structural solution is to do the forwarding with a mechanism like Sender Rewriting Scheme. Ask your service provider, or consult the documentation of your software how to do that.
