I've got tired to look for links of new builds for Chromium browser optimized for Snapdragon, so I decided to build my own.

The build is for v46, sources:
https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/chrome4sdp/chromium/src/log/?h=m46

The Build uses SaberMod, O2
Browser includes:
- PowerSaving mode
- Night mode
- Ad blocking
- Google Sign-In with Bookmarks/Recent Tabs sync

Looks great. Just need Google sync to top it off.
BTW, the last link is dead. Here's where it was moved. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=63482715

Probably not likely to include Google Sync, though :/

One can decide for himself.

In Octane benchmark:
Chome beta score: 8470
My build score: 9941

Version from Nov-9 (20151109) includes Google Sign-in.

Force Stop / Clear Data is recommended if you have some issues.

Awesome, works great, sign-in work, noticeably faster than Stock or beta Chrome !

I've never heard of chromium before this. what is the main advantage of this over chrome?

https://www.chromium.org/
Chromium is the open-source project behind the Google Chrome browser.

Code Aurora Forum provides an optimized for Snapdragon CPUs version of Chromium,
but only as a source code https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/chrome4sdp/chromium/src/log/?h=m46
I compile apk based on these sources.

used it for a day.. sure, it's nice, but i keep getting the stupid sign in request stuck in my notifications even though I'm signed in. the exclamation point won't go away no matter what. gonna delete the app. thanks though.

I am also getting this as well. Only way to clear is to reboot the device.

I agree hope it can be fixed. Cause it is a nice browser.

See post 104 and 105 in this thread to fix it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3233222


I also read some where that skipping the initial sign in when starting browser and then signing in in bookmarks solved this problem but I can't confirm it, I haven't tried it.

@VadimTk I have been using the 9/11 build for a couple of days and I just wanted to say again thank you. I have used so many browsers over the years and I have never been as happy as I am with your build. It is so fast and stable, it makes me smile when I use it. I really hope you keep compiling this! Thanks a million.

So Many CAF v46 builds are going around during the past month and this one is the best and actually the fastest. (I just finally found this)
According to vellamo it beats the v42(stable and faster than many v46 builds) which is the faster by 25 points.
Going to be enjoying this for a long time.
Thanks

anyone not getting push notifications and having issues after installing this? this is the only thing i did last when all of a sudden i'm not getting push notifications for hangouts, gmail, or anything anymore when i'm on LTE..only when i'm on wifi does it work, and verizon has NO idea what's wrong with it.

like i'm wondering if giving this permissions maybe messed with something in my google account? bc my note 4 has the same exact issue when i swap my sim into it..no push notifications. wtf.

What's up with the flashing red box around the browser like when a download OK box pops up or some other situations. It happened in chrome beta too before but not anymore.

The only thing I noticed that bugs me if in the address field when typing, it's hard to see what you're typing. It's dark on dark. Otherwise no issues.
