Via is a lightweight, highly customizable Android web browser built on the system WebView, with built-in ad blocking and per-site configuration. This repository hosts its localization files and translation workflow.

Use cases

  • browse the web on Android with a tiny fast browser
  • block ads without extensions
  • set custom user agents or disable JavaScript per site
  • translate the browser UI into another language
  • use a privacy-friendly minimal browser

When to choose

  • you want a small, fast, ad-free Android browser
  • you want deep customization of a WebView-based browser
  • you want to contribute translations

When to avoid

  • you need a full desktop browser
  • you need features beyond what Android WebView supports, like built-in password saving
  • you need a browser with its own rendering engine
