Vanadium is a privacy and security hardened Chromium variant providing the WebView and standard browser optimized for GrapheneOS.
Privacy and security enhanced releases of Chromium for GrapheneOS. Vanadium provides the WebView and standard user-facing browser on GrapheneOS. It depends on hardening in other GrapheneOS repositories and doesn't include patches not relevant to the build targets used on GrapheneOS.
Vanadium is used to deliver a secure and privacy-enhanced browsing experience on GrapheneOS devices, serving as both the system WebView provider and the default user-facing browser. It is primarily intended for users and developers of GrapheneOS who require hardened web rendering components integrated tightly with the OS's security features.
Vanadium relies heavily on GrapheneOS-specific hardening and compatibility fixes, so it is not intended for use outside GrapheneOS. Users should follow the official GrapheneOS build instructions to ensure proper integration and security. There are no standalone installation commands or usage examples provided in the repository README.
