Default: true

2. Allow Pull to Refresh

Set to true to allow the user to refresh the page by pulling down from the top 1/4 of the screen.

9. Allow Other URL Schemes

This option only works when the application is not in locked (pinned) mode.

Default: false

When enabled, long-pressing areas in the WebView will trigger the native WebView behaviour, e.g. text selection.

Specifically for links, even if set to false, this setting can be overridden by the Allow Link Long Press Context Menu setting.

Default: true

11. Allow Link Long Press Context Menu

When enabled, long-pressing links in the WebView will trigger a custom link options dialog.

This will take precedence over the Allow Default Long Press setting (i.e. overrides it).

1. Copy Link
2. Open Link
3. Open in Browser (only available when not in Locked mode)

Default: true

12. Override URL Loading Block Action

Action to take when a URL navigation (via shouldOverrideUrlLoading) matches the blacklist regex.

Typically, this is from clicking links (<a> tags) on a webpage's HTML.

This option will NOT take effect for:

• Custom URL loading, e.g. from the Address Bar, Bookmarks, History, etc

In those other cases, the block page will simply be shown.

Default: Show Block Page
