Fastest Browser for Linux Phone (arm64/aarch64) : Thorium

> Using droidian here, same process for Ubuntu Touch

• It was pretty hard to find a good browser for linux phone,

Installation

1. Go to Thorium Raspi releases , download the latest arm64.deb release. This was intended to be used on Raspberry Pi but it just works.

sudo apt install ./location_to_deb_file_downloaded

! 660 MB disk space required ; tbh that’s a lot but whatever -_-

Setup

1. Launch the browser : terminal thorium-browser or app drawer
2. By default it will run using xwayland on wayland, so lets change that :

> go to chrome://flags

> search ozone and change Preferred Ozone Platform to Wayland

> relaunch

3. Enable Touch UI Layout

> chrome flags -> Touch UI Layout to enabled

4. On droidian the default scale might make the full ui not visible ; so :

> go to your “Mobile Settings” app on droidian

> Under compositor, turn on Thorium Browser for scaling down of running applications

5. Increase/Decrease Page Zoom in Thorium Settings according to your preference

and thats it :) enjoy !
