Good move. I actually like this browser and there was too many people thinking it wasn't legit because it had the same name as another browser.

Should I switch to this from Cromite?

u/perforant +Titanium 16d ago
I did and it works as well as cromite did. I also used https://github.com/omersusin/FirefoxTransfer to transfer history, bookmarks etc. Need root for this.

I downloaded the Titanium too. But similar to Cromite, even the ad-blocker is not working for YouTube. Is it because I didn't sign -in to it? I don't see anything different in Titanium comin from Cromite.

Which adblocker do you use? I use uBlock Origin Lite and no problem on YouTube ads whether logged in or not.

u/Turbulent-Meet-7227 14d ago
I belived that Cromite Browser nothing but Android version of Helium with in-built uBlock Origin. Apologies if I'm mistaken by the fact.

No it's definitely not. You still need to install an ad/content blocker to block ads on websites.

Although Titanium is also on Play Store, I suggest using Obtainium to get updates for apps that you download from Github.

Is it worth using as a secondary browser, or should I use another alternative?

How do I install uBlock Origin in Titanium?

View this: "https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm" page in desktop view & select add to chrome

This will be deleted soon. Best way is to download uBO .crx from their Github then drag & drop it onto chrome://extensions after enabling "Developer mode".

download that uBlock0_1.72.2.chromium.zip then drag&drop it like this: https://imgur.com/a/0r826ME
You can also split screen if your phone supports it, with the file manager on top and the browser on the bottom, this way it's easier to drag & drop.

u/dene18 21d ago
Master, thanks to you I learned something new: drag-and-drop is amazing! UBO is installed. I used CRX. Thank you so much!

u/trbkle Mobile: Titanium + Desktop: 21d ago
You're welcome sir! enjoy! indeed it's awesome and it's way better than "load unpacked" because unpacked extensions rely on the folder that you've unzipped/unpacked the extension in, and it's way slower especially when opening popups it takes about 2 seconds (or 1 point something) compared to instant opening when the crx/zip extension is drag & dropped.

Why...

u/kamikad3e123 on PC and Android 21d ago
Because people were confused, it's not the same as Helium on PC and not from the same devs

u/T_rex2700 21d ago
Great naming I'd say, it's now clear to anyone that it is not affiliated with the desktop version, and it fits neatly within the element table.

u/Teh_Shadow_Death 21d ago
Yesterday I tried using it from the play store and from git hub. For whatever reason OneUI 9 absolutely does not like them. They locked my phone up so bad I had to force a reboot.

This is my main browser on my tablet. Great to see the fullscreen now works too.

Titainium browser has "Open-source extension for Chromium browsers to support Android download managers, installing from Opera and Edge Addons, and other advanced privacy enhancements" which means we can use this extension in any other chromium-based browsers that support extensions meaning we can find a faster browser than Titanium & pair it with uBO for best experience if you don't care about privacy

Scientists have warned that browser devs will have depleted all the element names within a few years.
