## What it is
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
