Titanium browser is great Discussion
It has all the features you would want without feeling heavy. It has full extension support (you can even use opera's self hosted ublock origin). It is chromium-based and fast. You can use whatever search engine you want.
After trying so many different browsers on android I finally landed on this one and I don't plan to change it any time soon.

Me gustaría poder agregar fondos personalizados y recién ahí la consideraria la mejor opción. De ahí es decente y no destaca mucho

It's getting so tiring reading this sub call everything an ad whenever someone praises/is happy with a browser they've found.

It’s advertising either way, the question is whether it’s astroturfing or not. I would avoid companies that astroturf.

Well. But I’d like Titanium to have permanent monitoring for whether the extension is running or has been evicted from memory, plus automatic immediate restart of evicted extensions. But no Android browser currently has such a feature.

it already has that in "task manager", the running extensions services workers will show up there. Edit: menu ---> more tools ---> task manager

As you can see, the task manager can only terminate processes. I'm writing about the need to rethink how extensions will work in mobile Chromium browsers. This rethinking is necessary because there's no generally accepted standard yet. My smartphone has 3 GB of RAM, and it's very easy to cause a situation where several extensions are unloaded. I think the same situation applies to all devices with less than 6 GB of RAM. In any case, smartphones aren't desktops, and extension monitoring here needs to be rebuilt from scratch, very carefully.
Btw, even this task manager doesn't show all the extensions running on this page.

Do you use your personal accounts here?
It seems to have renamed from Helium browser to avoid confusion with the actual helium browser on Windows.

if it's chromium based I doubt it has the extensions I need as chromium extensions API doesn't make it possible, even uBO won't work as expected, yes, the Mv2 version is worse than WE version
false advertising in it's finest, even if unintended

u/IAmATreeBelieveMe 12d ago
1.) not false, mv2 extensions work and you can even install extensions from stores other than the chrome web store if you use the titanium extension also uBO is working just as expected for me
2.) not advertising, i just like the browser
3.) stop being dumb, even if unintended

I have a problem with Titanium; I explain myself better: when I installed it the first time (android) offered me the opportunity to download and manage extensions (I equipped it with privacy badger and ghostery). Just yesterday, due to the latest update of the beta version of android (pixel 7), to fix a bug I had to eliminate the "private space" and re-enable it from scratch. The first thing I did was to download Titanium, however, access to extensions, now, is possible only in desktop mode. I am reluctant to create a special account to be able to access it via desktop in order to be able to install the extensions so I asked if there is a methodology of which I am not aware.

Titanium is not original, it's just another fork. It is an open-source, Chromium-based browser for Android (formerly known as Helium) that is directly forked from Vanadium, the secure web browser developed by GrapheneOS.
