Chromium browser optimised for snapdragon + edge swipe - power saving - adblocker

[f1ux]

Found this on another forum. It's chromium optimised for snapdragon.

Runs substationally smoother and faster than chrome.

Love the fact that it has edge swipe backwards/forwards which was something I really miss from my iPhone days!

I didn't build this, just sharing the goodness!

So which one we have to take ? From the playstore or your link ?

Looks great unfortunately it's 5 versions behind current Chrome release, likely missing some critical security patches, I wouldn't use it.

The playstore ( caf chromium) is version 46.x , chrome is also 46.x so its not that old!?

Ah I see, has outdated info on the forum post then, didn't install it as thought it was 42.x

I'm using the v42 one. Not tried the caf v46 yet but hear that it is not as quick. Would be interesting to see the v42 one in the oneplus forum updated to the latest version with a block built in..

Are you using Lux? If so just turn it off for a second while you hit the install button.

Even easier: Advanced / Use alternate overlay.

No need to disable app anymore :good:

Hmmm...I'm on 48.x. Think I got it from the Chromium site a few weeks back.

That won't be optimised for snapdragon, and it doesn't have adblocker or edge swipe.

Seems I cannot see CAF Chromium in play store. Anyone have latest 46.x APK?

Edit: Installed RBrowser. Just needs chrome sync.

Apparently v42 didn't have the Google sign in option, while v46 did. Sadly, that version (caf chromium) has also now been removed from the Play Store)

If you follow the link to the oneplus forum and go to the end of page 7, someone has a link to a version of 42 that they are now compiling with a statement that they will be updating to 46. Maybe one to watch.
