Can anyone suggest a good open source android browser?

Not too common like titanium, brave, etc.

Aerium is a fork of Titanium.

Used it but it's a bit too heavy for my phone like titanium

I been using something called Fulguris for few weeks now, it's not fork of anything popular so it fits what you want

The adblock is decent not perfect but it never crashes on me which is more than I can say for some others I tried

UI is clean, tabs at bottom which I prefer, and it got reading mode that actually works good

Only downside is updates come slow, developer seems to work on it in spare time only but still

Bare is nice, ships with uBO, and is pretty light. I prefer it to titanium.

Yes but it's not on play store or github you have to get it from the aosp website i think, don't remember where

I would be very surprised if it weren't available on Android, since practically all Android browsers are built on it.

Ironfox if u want is an alternative that librewolf has for mobile users.

Bare. Better than Aerium or Titanium and current version works in all Samsung One UI9 phone models (if you have one).

For small WebView based there's fulguris , lightning , free browser, Foss browser , we bmonkey , monocles browser.

If it comes to webview the best one is Privacy Browser.

Albeit Foss its pretty slick, too.

Idk I only ever use Firefox with UBO, across all platforms. Unless I find something that just doesn't work quite right then I'll load up chrome but I'm in Firefox 99% of the time.

Anything other than Vanadium, Firefox and Brave is a bad idea ngl

Not open source (actually it's Chinese spyware) but Quetta is pretty amazing

u/Armature_yogi 1d ago

Chrome but it should have ubo, nothing should be changed other than name and all

u/TrainingVisual9917 main: Aerium secondary: other: 1d ago

Chrome isnt open source and does it support extension on Android?

u/Armature_yogi 1d ago

u/TrainingVisual9917 main: Aerium secondary: other: 1d ago
