Description by Silas S. Brown (from Google Play)

This browser app adds Pinyin romanisation to any Chinese website or EPUB, but some work better than others. Tested on, but not affiliated to, JW.ORG and the Watchtower Online Library (WOL) Chinese pages (app was formerly called PinyinWol i.e. Pinyin WOL). Annotation is performed by your device itself: this app does not send your browsing through any third party. Access to the site you wish to browse is required.

Features:
* Poor data connection? Page rarely needs to reload when switching back to the app.
* Offline? Use the clipboard viewer, or use the app as a Share target or EPUB viewer.
* Pleco or Hanping integration
* 3lines mode (if you must)
* Bookmarks (shared with our other apps)
* Highlighting and PDF export
* Change text size across all pages
* Dark mode available on Android 10+
* Audio available on Android 5+
* No ads, small size & open-source framework (parts of which are also used by Equipd, JW Chinese and AnnotatedWol)

Recent changes:
The Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy's Chaos study found a fault in the desktop extension that also affected Android: if a site mixes Chinese text with escaped IMG onError= Javascript, it was run by the app when escaping was supposed to stop it. A bad social-media user could steal your session cookies for the site, if the site was relying on escaping to stop code in a message from running and you used the annotator to look at that message. This has now been fixed.
