## What it is
Titanium Browser is a secure, fully open-source Chromium-based Android browser forked from GrapheneOS's Vanadium, with support for Chrome and other Chromium extensions. Advanced features are modularized into a companion Titanium Extension for Android, and builds are distributed via GitHub Releases and Google Play.

## Use cases
- install Chrome extensions on Android
- use a privacy-focused open-source browser on Android
- load unpacked browser extensions on a phone
- run Manifest V2 extensions on Android
- browse with a hardened Chromium fork
- avoid Google Play-only browsers by sideloading from GitHub

## When to choose
- you need desktop-style Chrome extension support on Android
- you want a hardened, open-source Chromium browser with regular releases
- you prefer sideloading APKs from GitHub or updating seamlessly between GitHub and Play builds

## When to avoid
- you need iOS or desktop support
- you want a lightweight browser without extension overhead
- you require features outside Chromium's rendering engine
