Vanadium is a privacy and security hardened variant of Chromium that serves as the standard browser and WebView provider on GrapheneOS. It relies on OS-level hardening in GrapheneOS rather than duplicating those fixes inside the browser itself.
Use cases

When to choose
- you run GrapheneOS and want the default hardened browser and WebView
- you want Chromium compatibility with additional privacy and security hardening on Android
- you need a WebView implementation hardened against real-world attacks
When to avoid
- you use a stock or non-GrapheneOS Android ROM, since many hardening features depend on the OS
