# XOV Browser by CoderXpoint

> XOV Browser is available for Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit) and Android 8.0 or later. The platforms have different feature sets.

## Windows desktop app

- Current version: 1.0.0.
- Engine: Chromium through Electron 33; implemented in TypeScript.
- Split view: two, three, or four pages in one window.
- Ad blocking: bundled EasyList network and banner-hiding rules, plus a separate known tracker list. Video ad reduction is best effort. Filter rules refresh with app releases.
- Passwords: local Windows DPAPI encryption and CSV password import. Passwords do not sync to Android.
- File support: PDF and HTML viewing, Windows Open with registration, and file-default controls.
- Also includes vertical tabs, private windows, memory saving, downloads, history, bookmarks, and page tools.
- [Windows installer](https://xovbrowser.com/release/XOV-Browser-Setup-1.0.0.exe).

## Android app

- Current version: 1.0.0.
- Requires Android 8.0 or later (API 26+).
- Engine: Android System WebView; implemented in Kotlin.
- Distribution: direct APK download. The current APK is a debug build for testing.
- Included: two-pane browsing, desktop-site mode, local bookmarks and history, and downloads through Android DownloadManager.
- XOV Shield uses a built-in list of known ad domains. This is different from Windows EasyList filtering. Video ad reduction is best effort.
