Argon

🌐 Argon — Android Browser with Extensions

Argon is an Android web browser based on Titanium and Chromium, designed for users who want browser extensions, configurable background media playback, and additional control over certificate trust. It brings desktop-style extension support to mobile browsing while allowing users to manage selected site permissions directly in the browser.

🧩 Chrome Extension Support

- Install supported extensions from the Chrome Web Store, Opera Add-ons, and Microsoft Edge Add-ons. - Use compatible ad blockers, translators, and other browser add-ons on Android. - Supports Manifest V2 extensions, including extensions no longer available through the Chrome Web Store. - Manage installed extensions through Chromium's extension settings. - Supports installing local CRX or ZIP packages through the built-in Titanium Extension for Android.

Extension compatibility varies, and not every desktop extension works correctly with a mobile interface.

🎧 Background Audio and Video

Argon can continue playing media on selected HTTPS websites when the browser is minimized or the screen is off.

- Enable background playback in settings. - Allow or block playback separately for each website. - Configure whether a rule applies to subdomains. - Set session time limits for background playback.

The feature is disabled by default, and playback permissions must be configured for the sites you choose.

🔐 Certificate Trust Controls

Argon includes a Russian root certificate and lets users manage where it is trusted.

- Configure trust for the ".ru", ".рф", and ".su" domain zones separately. - Allow trust for selected domains and their subdomains. - Review certificate information, including issuer, validity, and SHA-256 fingerprint. - Disable the built-in certificate trust or limit it to a custom domain list.

These settings affect certificate validation for the specified sites. Review trust rules carefully, since allowing an additional certificate authority changes which certificates the browser accepts for those domains.

📱 System Requirements

Requires Android 10 or later and an ARM-based device. Available APK builds include ARM64 and ARM32 variants. The interface supports Russian and English; English is used when the system language is not supported.

📜 License

The repository provides a dedicated Argon license file. Its exact terms should be checked in the project's license document before redistributing or modifying the application; the Chromium and Titanium components may have their own licensing conditions.

⚠️ Important Disclaimer

Argon is a browser, not a VPN. Extensions and background playback depend on site and extension compatibility. Certificate-trust settings should only be enabled for domains you intend to trust.
