Thorium-Android is the Android-specific component of the Thorium browser ecosystem, a community-oriented, Chromium-based web browser project focused on improving performance, privacy, and user experience beyond what you typically get from stock Chromium builds. Like its desktop counterparts, Thorium for Android compiles the latest Chromium source with targeted optimizations and patches, aiming for faster loading, smoother rendering, and sensible defaults that emphasize privacy and reduced unwanted data flows. The Android branch adapts these enhancements to work on ARM and ARM64 devices, offering users a familiar yet distinct browsing experience with added performance tuning over standard mobile browsers. It typically includes the same underlying engine that scored high in independent performance benchmarks and leverages optimization flags and compiler improvements to boost responsiveness.
