Adds Titanium Browser, a Chromium-based browser with extension support, built on GrapheneOS's Vanadium. Closes #790.

  • License: GPL-2.0, full source on GitHub
  • Releases are built from source in GitHub Actions (build.yml), with build provenance attestations
  • No Google services: the build sets google_api_key and the client ID and secret to dummy values
  • In active development since October 2025 (it was renamed from Helium Browser), with releases every few days
  • Documentation is in the README
  • Not on F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid, so the entry links the project page only

On the codecs you mentioned: args.gn sets proprietary_codecs = true and ffmpeg_branding = "Chrome". In Chromium these flags build the patent-encumbered codecs (H.264, AAC) from FFmpeg's open source, rather than adding a closed binary. Cromite, already in the Browser section, sets the same two flags in build/cromite.gn_args. One more thing to weigh: the README recommends installing extensions from the Chrome Web Store, though local CRX and ZIP files work too.

Given your insight and there's still no other comment in the linked ticket I guess it's ok here.

Thanks for the PR and the details! 👍
