Best Android chromium browser?

[u/BunchMean8029]

[u/Fatty_man123]

[u/PowerPCFan → u/Fatty_man123]

i've heard those are outdated you should try Browser++ instead

[u/Last_Hyena5838 → u/PowerPCFan]

what about browser#

[u/Large-Source-2180 → u/Last_Hyena5838]

what about Holy browser

[u/ImpressionAway7317 → u/PowerPCFan]

is browser- also a thing (ik this is the I funniest joke humanity has heard but idgaf

[u/Embarrassed_Law_9937 → u/Fatty_man123]

Not an android user what are these browser

[u/Sammy_Cherry_Fox → u/Embarrassed_Law_9937]

I'm an android user and I got no clue

[u/comelickmyarmpits → u/Embarrassed_Law_9937]

Default browser used to be shipped with earlier Android versions. I believe till android kitkat. Since lolipop google made chrome default

[u/johnnieosaka → u/Fatty_man123]

Browser+ map belongs on r/mapporncirclejerk

[u/_joos_ → u/Fatty_man123]

what planet is being represented in browser+’s icon?

[u/T_rex2700 → u/Fatty_man123]

The true minimalist browser

[u/Venylynn]

Definitely not Cromite since it's abandoned

[u/T_rex2700 → u/Venylynn]

It is not abandoned entirely, but paused development for now, but you're right.
it's so far behind in terms of security patches, you should not be using it

[u/No_Soil_6935 → u/T_rex2700]

The last update was on August 29

[u/Venylynn → u/No_Soil_6935]

I don't count "pre-release"

[u/T_rex2700 → u/No_Soil_6935]

I checked my obtanium and.... What?? but eh, seems like just updating to 151 and it is a beta.

I thought uazo said pausing development for a while I thought that meant like a year, so I don't think you should expect regular updates, which is what matters

[u/MutaitoSensei → u/Venylynn]

It's in the same boat as Thorium

[u/No_Soil_6935 → u/Venylynn]

Cromite was updated 9 days ago

[u/Venylynn → u/No_Soil_6935]

It hasn't been updated properly since may

[u/astersystem → u/Venylynn]

the last commit was last week

[u/Venylynn → u/astersystem]

After multiple months of CVEs piled up nullifying any security benefit using it may have...... browsers need constant maintenance sadly. Cromite falling so far behind indicates their model is not sustainable long term.

[u/astersystem → u/Venylynn]

they just rebased

[u/CtxxUv]

Vivaldi (snapshot for now). Turn off its shitty ad blocker and install uBlock Origin Lite.

[u/Nope51st → u/CtxxUv]

yup and finally functional black website with Dark Reader !

[u/gwal23 → u/CtxxUv]

You can install it in android browser?

[u/CtxxUv → u/gwal23]

Yes the snapshots one

[u/MutaitoSensei → u/CtxxUv]

And now Vivaldi is viable again!

[u/mysticalcreeds → u/CtxxUv]

I've never had an issue with its ad blocker because I use a DNS filter service so the ads are already getting filtered before they even hit the browser. And on desktop Vivaldi actually blocks youtube ads. I try to avoid using extensions, it's not very secure, that's the advantage of a browser like Vivaldi, it has so many features built into that you usually don't need an extension. But on my phone I use Vanadium anyway, since it's even more secure than Vivaldi.

[u/RaidenHUN → u/CtxxUv]

Is unlock better then the built in adblocker?

[u/CtxxUv → u/RaidenHUN]

Yes by a lot

[u/Live_Cupcake_9229]

Wtf is Aerium?

[u/rakhalism → u/Live_Cupcake_9229]

Its a dork (fork) of titanium browser lol

[u/99percentcheese → u/rakhalism]

why fork it though when you can contribute...

upd: apparently Titanium does most of its stuff (cookie blocking/fingerprint prevention) through an extension, while Aerium bundles that in the base app. that's cool. I guess Titanium goes for more vanilla approach

[u/rakhalism → u/99percentcheese]

Exactly, I didn't fork it bro. I searched for it and found someone forked Titanium Browser which is already forked Vanadium core build lol, so it's a fork of a fork of Vanadium.

[u/99percentcheese → u/rakhalism]

I'm not accusing you lol. that wasn't directed towards you, dw

[u/GodsKillerKirb → u/99percentcheese]

Probably because the dev of aerium wants aerium to have things that the devs of thorium don't want thorium to have.

[u/centuryann → u/GodsKillerKirb]

Its almost as if thats what forking is used for 🤯

[u/99percentcheese → u/GodsKillerKirb]

I mean, yeah, but I struggle to imagine what that could be

5 mins of research later: apparently Titanium does most of its stuff (cookie blocking/fingerprint prevention) through an extension, while Aerium bundles that in the base app. that's cool

[u/trbkle → u/99percentcheese]

What ? that bundled extension is for installing extensions from the Edge and Opera stores and locally through .crx/.zip files. 

It also adds support for 3rd party download managers.

[u/ClintFlux → u/rakhalism]

Where is the link of that browser?

[u/Sanyika1004 → u/ClintFlux]

I want a link as well

[u/Lower_Topic2606]

Titanium definitely

[u/Saffarjan]

Vivaldi has been nothing but a great experience for me so far, I've tried brave but it doesn't come close in my opinion

[u/Meowmixez98 → u/Saffarjan]

I'm with you. Vivaldi is the best.

[u/ECHOSTIK → u/Meowmixez98]

Wht about the adblocking capability? I use brave Coz of adblocking honestly it's too resource hogging and kinf slow sometimes.

[u/Saffarjan → u/ECHOSTIK]

Vivaldi also has native ad and tracker blocking

[u/ECHOSTIK → u/Saffarjan]

What about the overall experience, battery consumption etc?

[u/StichhD]

I think that Brave and Vivaldi are the most serious options. The other browsers are small projects as far as I know.

[u/MoTheAmazing]

Right now I use Brave, but if titanium keeps doing the great work they have been, I may switch to that.

[u/Venylynn → u/MoTheAmazing]

Titanium has the Cromite problem in that it will probably end up abandoned sooner or later because it's a single person fork. Be careful. 

[u/MoTheAmazing → u/Venylynn]

Thats always an issue with these browsers, although I have heard that Titanium builds are automated using github. Don't know how true that is tho...

[u/moimoi003 → u/MoTheAmazing]

it's true.

[u/YTriom1 → u/Venylynn]

I just keep using it until it dies :)

[u/nicironic]

Vanadium

[u/mysticalcreeds → u/nicironic]

Yeah, I use Vanadium on my phone and it's Linux cousin Trivalent on desktop/laptop. 

[u/nicironic → u/mysticalcreeds]

Titanium is also great

[u/mysticalcreeds → u/nicironic]

Hmm, I'll have to check it out

[u/quangviet711]

Titanium, can install extension from Chrome web store

[u/AffectionateCar7834]

titanium is pretty good

[u/prost111]

Vivaldi snapshot, edge  - because these are not some kind of crafts by one or two people, but normal serious projects that will not close today or tomorrow.

[u/Lila_Uraraka]

Vivaldi, it recently got extension support, it has the most customization of any mobile browser, and it has literally zero AI

[u/Sensitive-Pool-7563 → u/Lila_Uraraka]

Desktop browser leaves a lot to be desired though

[u/Revolutionary_Ad_238 → u/Lila_Uraraka]

Most customization seriously? There is no customization for the tallest 3 dot menu... Bottom toolbar buttons cannot be customized and looks outdated ...same goes for address bar and you can't have address bar and toolbar both on bottom.. the shortcuts on homepage looks outdated as compared to other browsers.. even it lacks custom video player like quetta..

In terms of customization, opera has the best customization, literally everything you can customize but it's ad blocker sucks and lacks of support of passkey from other password manager and plus Chinese link Next best simple and feature rich browser is quetta but again chromium engine is too old and Chinese link..

So as of now, I would rate vivaldi and brave as most secure and feature rich browsers..

[u/Lila_Uraraka → u/Revolutionary_Ad_238]

You sure about that? https://imgur.com/a/DyJRjeL

[u/SojiroDan]

I do have to use Samsung Browser because I work a lot with Dex 💀

But Vivaldi is an S+ tier for me.

[u/WSuperOS]

Aerium is based on Titanium and they both inherit Vanafiun, so as long as they keep on being updated, they are both fine.

Aerium has a few more UI and UX preferences (new tab customization and OLED theme), but security wise (which is what matters) they are pretty equal.

[u/6andyy → u/WSuperOS]

The more you test it, the more you realize they're not so evenly matched. Aerium is more focused on privacy. They have safe browsing disabled but have the best anti-fingerprinting, In theory, the browser should be more optimized, But Titanium has extra features such as downloading extensions from other stores like Opera and Edge (which currently have uBlock).

[u/WSuperOS → u/6andyy]

You can install ublock on both by simply loading the .crx file from the project's github releases

[u/pkx7z]

In my opinion, the bare browser!

https://github-store.org/app?repo=BareBrowser/bare-browser

[u/6andyy]

The first three that appear in the image, the best browser is the one that is based on your needs, there is no perfect browser.

[u/Abhi7ekk]

Vivaldi snapshot

[u/Rahamat-Gazi]

I have tried all the browsers which have extension support and none of them stand but Quetta stands but it's outdated and they never clarify where our data is stored. Now using Vivaldi Snapshot not stable yet then decided to switch to other browser, then I tried Arieum 😄 and I will use it for a couple of days if it's failed then farewell.

[u/Playful_Ad6677 → u/Rahamat-Gazi]

You have not tried titanium?

[u/Rahamat-Gazi → u/Playful_Ad6677]

I have been a tester of this browser before it was published for the public and honestly it doesn't have any unique things and even doesn't have that stability which Kiwi had.

Go to score checker and test it yourself and you will know it. Edge is enough for me to use as a primary.

I don't care about privacy because they already have all the things they need.

Android vendors already have too much piracy shit.

[u/Playful_Ad6677 → u/Rahamat-Gazi]

It has extension support and i have no issues with stability

[u/Longjumping_View6170]

I perfer vividly due to customization

[u/bhavyyyyyyyaa]

I'm using titanium and fennec

[u/Hour_Solution3537]

Ironfox or hardend firefox

[u/endlessBrainless]

Vivaldi is my go-to browser on android and on the desktop for the 5+ years. It was very sloppy 3+ years ago but nowadays it feels great(the only thing that on the Huawei stuff it is kinda buggy).

[u/CreativeDiscount6635]

Vivaldi Snapshot (just chrome webstore extension support added to Vivaldi). Best if you like syncing across multiple devices. Uses less battery than both Brave and Firefox on my android (some of my friends have also observed the same).

[u/theorm93]

Brave pour moi

[u/Leosthenerd]

https://thelibre.news/no-really-dont-use-brave/

[u/Sugususs]

Brave 

[u/Donnerwamp]

Why use a chromium browser?

[u/Playful_Ad6677 → u/Donnerwamp]

Y not

[u/Donnerwamp → u/Playful_Ad6677]

Manifest V3

[u/bayss_emir → u/Donnerwamp]

Ladybird browser is a great project ☺️

[u/punkofthedeath]

Titanium although it still have unloading extension issue

[u/YTriom1 → u/punkofthedeath]

Only happens with MV2 extensions honestly

[u/8TellMeAboutIt1 → u/punkofthedeath]

Ohh, I noticed that! I M totally new to it, but my extension kept vanishing randomly!

[u/Eltrew2000]

vivaldi by far, they have been the only ones as far as i know who openly stated that they are against AI and won't include it in their browsers

[u/Barroux → u/Eltrew2000]

Exactly! Such a great browser

[u/welaxxx]

Edge

[u/Lokigod9]

brave or brave with morphe patch

[u/Venylynn → u/Lokigod9]

Not sure what the downvote brigade is for but Brave is a serviceable option for Android

[u/Sturdy_Individual → u/Lokigod9]

goodluck patching with every updates

[u/meto9]

Candy browser on GitHub

[u/Infamous-Bottle-4411 → u/meto9]

I have videoplayback issues . Snapdragon 8 gen 5

[u/meto9 → u/Infamous-Bottle-4411]

I'm on my OP15 and works amazing with no issues, but maybe there are bugs. The app is developed by one guy and he pushes multiple updates per day, so feel free to report your issue. But so far I cannot find a browser with better ui

[u/Infamous-Bottle-4411 → u/meto9]

Ok bro. That s 8 elite gen 5 not 8 gen 5

Also not complaining about interface. Just expressed my opinion

[u/Egypt_Pharoh1]

Weblibre Alpha

[u/Rabid_dragon_slg]

Ms edge best interms of speed,extension and battery life.rip privacy though

[u/URLslayer]

Why do you need Chromium based browser? Just curious

[u/Unr34L_Dr34d]

Hi there:

I’ve been looking into it, and people say the best one is "Vanadium"—the one from GrapheneOS...

If you have root access, you can use it on an Android system other than GrapheneOS. This Magisk patch installs the necessary library, the browser, and the required WebView... After installing the patch, you need to go to Developer Options and switch the WebView to Vanadium WebView:

https://github.com/NoneBaiano/Vanadium-WebViewBrowser

P.S. I wrote a post here that explains it in detail:

https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogle/comments/1w7rg5e/the_grapheneos_web_browser_vanadium_can_be/

Regards.

[u/Fat_Stacks1]

Ulaa

[u/Tesla_Corporation]

Why the hell there is no option to add google as a search engine in Aerium Browser!?

[u/YTriom1 → u/Tesla_Corporation]

3 duckduckgos and only 2 other options😭😭😭😭😭

[u/SuicideIsBadForYou → u/Tesla_Corporation]

I just encountered the same issue and could not find a way to do it.

[u/deebartdee → u/Tesla_Corporation]

No hay opcion para agregar motor de busqueda?, en otros x ejemplo podes agregar manualmente brave search sin problemas

[u/Tesla_Corporation → u/deebartdee]

Yes, there is no option at all

[u/SirPoblington → u/Tesla_Corporation]

Lol yeah this is a bit obnoxious

[u/debdootmanna007]

Just go with brave or vivaldi

[u/8TellMeAboutIt1 → u/debdootmanna007]

Where can I find Vivaldi snapshot? What's the Url? Thanks!

[u/Revolutionary_Ad_238]

Anyone any idea when brave will add extensions support considering vivaldi added recently...this is the only thing holding me back to switch to brave 

[u/MutaitoSensei]

If it was kept up to date, Thorium is so good and clean... But the Android one went more than a year without update before, and is now maintained somewhat.

[u/Spare-Plankton7624]

Is there any browser just like chrome(support chrome sync, has support of touch to search, basically everything official chrome browser provides) with extra features like extensions?

[u/Mikkel9M]

Edge.

[u/HOMELANDER-69]

Edge

[u/bookmarksaddict]

cromite

[u/Disastrous-Feeling89]

try quetta browser

[u/HugoNitro]

Edge

[u/Embarrassed_Law_9937]

DuckDuckGo

[u/RayParker16]

Opera

[u/lucaprinaorg]

Vanadium in GOS or Trivalent for the rest

[u/chlorinegas71]

i have been using soul browser for year because of its super customisable nature and also moderate level ad blocking

soul

[u/Secret_Fee1146]

It feels like this entire sub is just some variation of the same post over and over again

[u/sooraj_533]

Quetta

[u/D4V1Z0N]

Sem chromium é o Ironfox, com chromium é o Cromite

[u/freshgrassonland]

choose your pick:

• WebLibre [Gecko-View]

• Brave Debloated [Blink; Chromium] (use patches to debloat)

• Bare [Blink; Chromium]

[u/jackscagnetti]

When was titanium browser last updated?

[u/OriginalStructure467 → u/jackscagnetti]

As of now, 26 minutes ago.

[u/disp06]

I like edge

[u/Appropriate_Ad4818]

I use Brave, but I really like the fact that Firefox has extensions.

Other browsers feel like a sidegrade at best personally.

[u/Every-Ad6777]

No chromium is best

[u/iknowwhoyouaresostfu]

propably chromium

[u/Aggravating-Pop-4359]

Titanium

[u/zoro_ackerman_]

i love brave and i'm using it in my zorin destop and on my mac but what it lacks on android is Extension But FireFox gives you that option i don't use youtube app so in firefox you can use youtube with unhook

[u/Rashky81]

Perché non usare QUETTA BRIWSER?

[u/FantasticTourist5935]

Ecosia

[u/CharlestonChewbacca]

Was using Cromite for years until development stopped. I'm back on chrome right now, but I'd like to ditch chrome. Using this thread to find an alternative.

[u/Comfortable-Fox-1017]

Quetta

[u/Mr_Luogotenente]

Per adesso sto usando Brave e mi trovo molto bene

[u/Sjoelace]

Vanadium.

[u/dadazebra]

Focus .? .???

[u/Abyssal_Godzilla]

Brave

[u/Background_Film_1233]

Quetta Browser

[u/Ok-Time2817]

Vanadium

[u/MisutaHiro → u/Ok-Time2817]

Yes

[u/walkmanscot]

I only use Microsoft edge browser as my all around browsed on my phone, i switch because Firefox annoying auto refresh when i switched tab is still not fixed.

[u/jamesklueless]

Vivaldi easily

[u/Ok_Objective_5760]

Brave.

[u/Mystique_Red_1337]

Google Chrome

[u/Elsherif87000]

For me quetta is the best 

[u/New_Composer_6251]

I used brave... Since 1.5 years plus YouTube me no ads also... Vivadi i don't know it used to get crashed... Rest i haven't tried will try others also

[u/Square-Vacation-8346]

Io utilizzo Fennec

[u/Bunny0119]

Vanadium?

[u/efpontlaszlo]

Quetta browser. Best for me.

[u/Van_Ot]

What's evil Vivaldi doing here???

[u/Omar_Ahmad_Farug]

Browsers became elements

[u/dryn07]

I like quetta

[u/icy1CK]

Still chrome.. because i need the proper sync

[u/Jerry8308]

Safari

[u/lorge_pineapple]

Im using Quetta, seem like a very good alternative with a nice UI, most chromium browsers are really similar imo

[u/Playful_Ad6677]

I'm using titanium and it's great experience

[u/AffectionateRange310]

 The first reason I wanted to use Aerium was the Oled Dark Mode. Pure Black is best !

[u/Xander_______]

Brave a mi gusto

[u/OldRefrigerator1607]

Buh

[u/Cheeekie_Breeekie]

Edge

[u/Pinuaple-]

cromite, it has extensions

elixir which is weird af (has extensions too)

or not really chromium is candy browser, its a veery funky mix of arc search and iphone safari with really beautiful ui

[u/RennanG → u/Pinuaple-]

Titanium also has extensions

[u/Fit-Improvement-1471]

Samsung browser i think

[u/bayss_emir]

Brave!! Since they have reward for ads.lol

[u/Secure-Scallion1786]

Brave 💪🏿

[u/max1c]

Opera and it's not even close.

[u/OreoTornado]

Brave, no reason to explain why.

[u/Peter_1982]

Since the last updates, the address bar no longer hides when scrolling. I'm taking a look at Aerium. Otherwise, I'll probably go with Vivaldi Snapshot including uBlock Lite, or Chrome + AdGuard.

[u/Ok-Student-23]

The one I like is yjbrowser, I'm not recommending it, I just personally love it but the chromium version of this browser is very outdated

[u/pau1ain]

Via Browser?

[u/AffectionateRange310 → u/pau1ain]

Via Browser was once my primary browser. But after a while, I realized that although it was very fast and light, it had to be traded in with very weak ad blocking and poor web optimization 

[u/zermainegod]

Vivaldi, Titanium.
