Description

As Android for desktop hasn't seen the light of day, consider this optional.

But if you use Privacy Browser with a mouse, then:
- the UI grays out once I hit [return] onto the address bar,
- I can not open links on a new tab (the menu can not be accessed),
- zoom works incorrectly
- etc.

Thanks,
Brendon

I assume you using some sort of Android desktop mode.

When I plug a wired mouse into the Pixel 8 phone with a USB-C adapter I get the following results.

But if you use Privacy Browser with a mouse, then:
- the UI grays out once I hit [return] onto the address bar,

I do not see this behavior. Note that I am using the software keyboard on the Pixel 8 screen to hit [return].

- I can not open links on a new tab (the menu can not be accessed),

I do see this behavior. Apparently Android does not implement long-press with the mouse. That is likely an Android OS thing that Privacy Browser can't do anything about until Android decides to support it.

- zoom works incorrectly

Zoom works as expected.
