What is the alternative to hide Bitcointalk URL on public

[BlackBoss_]

Let say; they would only see that area where you are only making your post without them looking above to know the site you are using
.
I have also tried to change my phone screen guard to privacy but when my screen resolution is high they could easily capture the site you are accessing, to an extent I have reduced my phone brightness yesterday the person at my back still keep peeping my phone to know what I am doing. Although here where I am currently is actually highly populated where can't it hide from the next person. Went out to watch live match that was just concluded, I mean Arsenal 2 v 1 crystal palace.

Hide username and avatar is possible with the userscript built by TryNinja but about hiding all things on the screen, like the URL is impossible. I don't know how do you want to do several things at the same time, watching a football match and reading posts or typing your own posts in the forum. You can do it at home but when you're watching a football match at a public place, why do you have this need, as I see it is unlike urgent need.

When you use Internet at public places, there is security risk too, not only what people can see on your phone screen.

The solution requested in the original post seems to be a real need for me too. Because many times I have to enter the forum with my mobile phone while I am outside or with friends. Then, if the URL bar at the top of the browser is visible, someone nearby can easily understand which website I am on.
Although this is not a major security problem, it is a bit uncomfortable in terms of personal privacy. Does anyone know the right solution?

All that happened in the 3 days you've joined? Did you just use the wrong alt account?

Op, many people have suggested the use of a privacy screen guard but I am surprised that you said privacy screen didn't work for you. Could it be that you bought the wrong privacy screen guard? The last time I used the privacy screen guard, it worked so well for me.

It could be that he logged-in up to 50 times within 3 days, and out of the 50 times people tried to poke him 30 times. That justifies the many times within a few days

I've gone through most of the replies on this thread with smart suggestions on how to hide your bitcointalk URL in the public, I think that they are all brilliant ideas but the best for me remains to enter the forum when there are no prying eyes around you. Since you're concerned about people seeing the URL it is better to enter the forum when you're alone in your private space, nobody will be curious to know what you're doing.

So far this forum doesn't have specific times when we must login and signature campaigns don't also have specific times when your posts will be eligible to be counted it means that you're not under pressure to enter the forum in public places so just relax until you are in a conducive place before entering.

I haven't put a thought about this before but as called to your concern I gave it a try.
What you're asking for happens to be impossible on hiding the forums website Url and I don't either see this as an issue of the browser because I've used several browsers and was to no avail.
I don't even know the risk indicated of the Url visibility and perhaps that's not a display on the public view except you're sharing your device which is supposed to be your privacy with others.
If you really feel that unsafe with the BITCOIN caption, then you shouldn't use the forum if you're in the public place especially that moment someone is trying to peep over.

The privacy screen protector alone can't do the job, although we have them in different quality, but what I usually do is also change my phone to dark mode and reduce the phone's brightness to a minimum, which only me looking directly at the phone can see what's going on there freely.

Have you used one before? Probably it is fake or inferior. I have told my brother before that how come I do not see what is on his phone when he is using it? He told me he used privacy screen protector for it. He said he bought it for that reason. You will not be able to see anything on the phone from the side view if you get the good one.

Buy it from a trusted seller. Make sure you explain what you want to the seller, and tell the seller to put it on your phone for you and test it to know if it is good or not, but make sure you told the seller that this is what you want and let him give you assurance that it is before he opens the screen protector.

Yes, I have used one, and I'm currently using it on my phones. One thing that I have observed is that, from a side view, everything indeed will be blank and won't be seen by someone who is trying to look into your screen, but anyone who is standing behind you, like at your back can see that's why I recommend a reduced screen brightness, which also protects our eyes.

Bitcointalk doesn't support PWA (Progressive Web App) so using Chrome's "add to home screen" will still show your url

The most practical option I know is using Kiwi browser or Brave on Android. They have this feature that allows you force any site into standalone web app when you add it to your home screen. If you do, the top URL bar will become invisible when you open either of the apps from the home screen. Edit: I forgot to add that you'll still get a full screen view of the site

This fits the Op's situation very well.
I don't know of Kiwi browser and I use brave browser on android and it works exactly as you described.
I force some URLs to the home screen and it gives the vibe of an app and also give me ease of accessibility.
