The ultimate WebView browser experience for Android Auto head units. Transform your "parked time" with a sleek, modern browser designed specifically for the road.
Caution
Beware of Fake Websites Fake websites impersonating AA Browser have appeared. This GitHub repository (https://github.com/kododake/AABrowser) is the ONLY official source. To prevent malware infections and financial damage, absolutely do not trust or download from any other websites.
Note
Requires Android 15 or later
📲 Easy Install: No need for a special installer. Just download and install.
🚀 Updates: Using Obtainium (linked above) is recommended to keep the app automatically up to date without limitations. Alternatively, you can download the APK from GitHub Releases.
- 🎯 Native Automotive UI: Designed specifically for car displays, not just a stretched phone app.
- 🎬 Immersive Media: Watch fullscreen DRM-protected video (supports Widevine L3 only due to technical limitations) — perfect for charging breaks or while parked in a "flat, boring desert world."
- 🎨 Light + AMOLED Themes: Switch between a bright light theme and a true-black AMOLED dark mode built for car displays.
- 🌓 Beta Dark Pages: Optionally ask WebView to darken supported pages while the dark theme is active.
- 🏠 Home Page Or Start Page: Launch straight into a custom home page, or use the start page dashboard when no home page is set.
- 🚀 Six Quick Links: The start page now supports up to six shortcut cards with default popular sites and a custom background image.
- 🗂️ Real Tabs + Tab Manager: Open multiple browser tabs, switch between them from the in-app tab manager, and close tabs without losing your place.
- ♻️ Restore Last Tabs: Optionally reopen the full tab session from your previous launch when no home page override is active.
- 🔁 Resume Last Page: Optionally reopen the last visited page on launch when no home page is configured.
- 🧭 Persistent URL Bar: Optionally keep a compact address bar visible above the page for faster browsing.
- 🎛️ Configurable Quick Action Button: Choose whether the floating button opens the controls menu or jumps straight to the URL bar, keep it always visible, and move it to a corner that fits your screen.
- 🖼️ Cached Site Icons: Quick-link cards cache first-party site icons locally so the start page stays branded without refetching on every launch.
- 🔎 Global Display Scale: Adjust the full UI and page-content scale together with presets or a custom percentage.
- 🔄 Smart Desktop Mode: Seamlessly toggle between mobile and desktop rendering.
- 📚 Dashboard Bookmarks: Quick access to your favorite sites without touching your phone.
- Driver's Duty: If you're the one steering, DO NOT LOOK AT THIS APP. If you think your eyes might wander while driving, uninstall it right now! Seriously, your safety is my top priority.
- Passenger's Joy: This app is for your passengers or for when you are safely parked.
- Legal Note: I built the code, but the GPLv3 license means I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for your actions. Drive smart!

I care about the app's growth, but I care about your privacy even more. This app is designed with a Transparency-First policy:
Important
I have ZERO interest in your browsing habits.
- 🚫 No URL Tracking: I don't (and physically can't) see which websites you visit, what you search, or what you type.
- 🕵️ Self-Hosted Analytics: I use a private Umami instance. No IP track, No Google, No Meta, no Big Tech trackers.
- 🆔 Anonymous Data: I only see "The app was opened" and This App Versions. I use a random, anonymous UUID that isn't tied to your device ID or personal info.
If AA Browser makes your "car life" better, please consider sponsoring this project! As a student developer on a tight budget, your support covers daily expenses.
