RooTitanium

A Chromium web browser for Sailfish OS 5.1, built on Qt 6 QtWebEngine with a UI written from scratch in QML — not a fork of an existing browser. Part of the RooT* app family.

[ENGLISH]

Prerequisite: SFOS 5.1.0.11
Version: aarch64
Version: armv7hl

RooTitanium is tested on:

Sony Xperia 10 III (SFOS 5.1.0.11)
Xiaomi POCO M4 Pro 4g "Fleur" (SFOS 5.1.0.11)

This application was developed using artificial intelligence technologies (Claude Code). Therefore, if the use of an application generated via a large-scale language model (LLM) is not comfortable for the user, it is recommended to avoid its installation and use. It is specified that any negative comment regarding this circumstance will not only be ignored but will result in the immediate blocking of the user.

I hereby disclaim any and all responsibility for the application, its functionality, and any consequences arising from its use. By choosing to use this application, the user acknowledges and accepts that they do so entirely at their own risk, and agrees that the developer shall not be held liable for any damages, losses, or adverse effects—whether direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential—resulting from the use or misuse of the application.

Browser engine — self-contained bundle

On Sailfish OS, Qt 6 is not an official platform component, and qt6-qtwebengine is not precompiled anywhere. RooTitanium therefore ships a self-contained bundle: the whole Qt 6 + QtWebEngine runtime (Chromium 122) is compiled from source over the community Qt 6 stack and installed under /home/rootitanium/, so the app needs no system Qt 6 and does not interfere with the platform.

Hardware-accelerated rendering. QtWebEngine renders through EGL over libhybris (the device's Android GPU drivers). On the Xperia 10 III (Adreno 619) hardware acceleration is confirmed via chrome://gpu.
Runs unsandboxed by design. Because the bundle lives outside the rootfs and needs full access to /home/rootitanium/, the hybris system libraries and Chromium's own --no-sandbox mode, the app declares Sandboxing=Disabled in its .desktop. In-app App Permissions (below) are what actually gate what sites can use.
Custom ELF launcher. A small launcher in /usr/bin/harbour-rootitanium sets the bundle environment and execs the browser, forging argv[0] so Lipstick matches the window to a single app cover.

Features (1.0)

Tabs and private (incognito) tabs, with a tab switcher and per-mode counts; optional "start in private", "close all tabs on exit" or session restore.
HOME page with a Favorites grid (your chosen bookmarks) and a History list, editable in place.
Address bar with search-or-URL entry and selectable search engine (DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, Startpage).
Bookmarks (persistent, SQLite) with a HOME-favorites toggle and reordering, and History with clear-all.
Downloads with a chosen destination folder (Downloads / Documents / Pictures / Videos / Music), live progress, open and cancel.
Find in page, Share, Save page as PDF, Desktop/Mobile site toggle, and landscape rotation (manual, plus automatic for fullscreen video).
Native-feeling context menus (link / image / text), touch-selection menu, and custom JavaScript dialogs (alert / confirm / prompt) scaled for the device.
Custom on-screen keyboard (QtVirtualKeyboard, themed for the browser).
Privacy controls: Do-Not-Track, anti-fingerprinting (Brave/Cromite-style farbling), automatic cookie-banner rejection, a Client-Hints / user-agent interceptor that presents the browser as Google Chrome for site compatibility, session-cookie clearing, JavaScript and popup toggles, forced dark mode, and one-tap clear browsing data.
App Permissions (master switches for camera, microphone, location, notifications and downloads — a gate above the per-site choices) and Site Permissions (per-site camera / microphone / location / notifications).
Background tab lifecycle (freeze / discard) to keep heavy sites from stalling the browser.
Bilingual UI (English / Italian): Italian on Italian devices, English everywhere else — chosen automatically from the system language.

The RPM payload goes to /home/rootitanium/ (the /home partition), while the .desktop, icons and the ELF launcher go to the rootfs under /usr. Conventions shared with the RooT* family: package harbour-rootitanium, version single-sourced from the spec.

Engine, compatibility & trademarks

RooTitanium renders pages with Qt 6 QtWebEngine (Chromium 122), bundled as described above and in NOTICE.md. For site compatibility the browser presents itself as Google Chrome through a Client-Hints / user-agent interceptor; this is identification only and does not make it a Google product.

"Chromium" and "Google Chrome" are trademarks of Google LLC, and "Qt" is a trademark of The Qt Company Ltd. RooTitanium is an independent project, not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Google LLC or The Qt Company; the names are used solely for identification.

RooTitanium è testato:

Sony Xperia 10 III (SFOS 5.1.0.11)

Questa applicazione è stata sviluppata utilizzando tecnologie di intelligenza artificiale (Claude Code). Pertanto, se l'utilizzo di un'applicazione generata tramite un modello linguistico su larga scala (LLM) non è gradito all'utente, se ne sconsiglia l'installazione e l'uso. Si precisa che qualsiasi commento negativo relativo a tale circostanza non solo verrà ignorato, ma comporterà il blocco immediato dell'utente.

Con la presente declino ogni responsabilità relativa all’applicazione, al suo funzionamento e a qualsiasi conseguenza derivante dal suo utilizzo. L’utente, scegliendo di utilizzare l’applicazione, riconosce e accetta di farlo a proprio ed esclusivo rischio, e concorda che lo sviluppatore non potrà essere ritenuto responsabile per eventuali danni, perdite o effetti negativi — diretti, indiretti, incidentali o consequenziali — derivanti dall’uso o dall’uso improprio dell’applicazione.

Motore del browser — bundle self-contained

Su Sailfish OS, Qt 6 non è un componente ufficiale della piattaforma, e qt6-qtwebengine non è precompilato da nessuna parte. RooTitanium distribuisce quindi un bundle self-contained: l'intero runtime Qt 6 + QtWebEngine (Chromium 122) è compilato dai sorgenti sopra lo stack Qt 6 della community e installato sotto /home/rootitanium/, così l'app non richiede alcun Qt 6 di sistema e non interferisce con la piattaforma.

Rendering accelerato in hardware. QtWebEngine renderizza tramite EGL su libhybris (i driver GPU Android del dispositivo). Sull'Xperia 10 III (Adreno 619) l'accelerazione hardware è confermata via chrome://gpu.
Gira senza sandbox, by design. Poiché il bundle vive fuori dal rootfs e richiede accesso pieno a /home/rootitanium/, alle librerie di sistema hybris e alla modalità --no-sandbox di Chromium, l'app dichiara Sandboxing=Disabled nel suo .desktop. Sono i Permessi App in-app (sotto) a controllare davvero cosa i siti possono usare.
Launcher ELF dedicato. Un piccolo launcher in /usr/bin/harbour-rootitanium imposta l'ambiente del bundle ed esegue il browser, forgiando argv[0] così che Lipstick agganci la finestra a un'unica cover dell'app.

Funzionalità (1.0)

Schede e schede private (incognito), con selettore schede e conteggi per modalità; opzioni "avvia in privata", "chiudi tutte le schede all'uscita" o ripristino sessione.
Pagina HOME con una griglia Preferiti (i segnalibri che scegli tu) e un elenco Cronologia, modificabili al volo.
Barra degli indirizzi con inserimento cerca-o-URL e motore di ricerca selezionabile (DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, Startpage).
Segnalibri (persistenti, SQLite) con toggle Preferiti-in-HOME e riordino, e Cronologia con svuota-tutto.
Download con cartella di destinazione a scelta (Download / Documenti / Immagini / Video / Musica), progresso live, apri e annulla.
Cerca nella pagina, Condividi, Salva pagina come PDF, toggle sito Desktop/Mobile e rotazione orizzontale (manuale, più automatica per il video a tutto schermo).
Menu contestuali dall'aspetto nativo (link / immagine / testo), menu di selezione touch e dialoghi JavaScript personalizzati (alert / confirm / prompt) scalati per il dispositivo.
Tastiera a schermo personalizzata (QtVirtualKeyboard, a tema col browser).
Controlli privacy: Do-Not-Track, anti-fingerprinting (farbling stile Brave/Cromite), rifiuto automatico dei banner cookie, un interceptor Client-Hints / user-agent che presenta il browser come Google Chrome per compatibilità coi siti, pulizia dei cookie di sessione, toggle per JavaScript e popup, modalità scura forzata e pulizia dati di navigazione con un tap.
Permessi App (interruttori master per fotocamera, microfono, posizione, notifiche e download — un cancello sopra le scelte per-sito) e Permessi siti (per singolo sito: fotocamera / microfono / posizione / notifiche).
Ciclo di vita delle schede in background (freeze / discard) per evitare che i siti pesanti blocchino il browser.
UI bilingue (Inglese / Italiano): italiano sui dispositivi italiani, inglese altrove — scelta automaticamente dalla lingua di sistema.

Il payload dell'RPM va in /home/rootitanium/ (partizione /home), mentre il .desktop, le icone e il launcher ELF vanno nel rootfs sotto /usr. Convenzioni condivise con la famiglia RooT*: pacchetto harbour-rootitanium, versione single-source dallo spec.

Motore, compatibilità e marchi

RooTitanium mostra le pagine con Qt 6 QtWebEngine (Chromium 122), impacchettato come descritto sopra e in NOTICE.md. Per compatibilità con i siti il browser si presenta come Google Chrome tramite un interceptor di Client-Hints / user-agent; è solo identificazione e non lo rende un prodotto Google.

"Chromium" e "Google Chrome" sono marchi di Google LLC, e "Qt" è un marchio di The Qt Company Ltd. RooTitanium è un progetto indipendente, non affiliato, sponsorizzato o approvato da Google LLC o The Qt Company; i nomi sono usati solo a scopo identificativo.

Changelog:

Changelog <2.1:
- Some issue with heavy social, like X.com;
- No DRM.
- Mobile file picker (3db7d2e) — the file upload (<input type=file>) now opens a full‑screen native picker instead of the tiny desktop dialog: Home/Download/Images/Documents/Video shortcuts, folder navigation, multi‑selection with checkmarks, and an Upload button.
- Reading Mode (69f8dee) — in the ⋮ menu: extracts the article using Mozilla’s Readability.js and displays it with serif typography on light/dark theme; A−/A+ buttons (size is remembered) and ✕ to return to the article exactly where you left off.
- Accept-Language from actual locale (7375cff) — websites no longer force Italian on foreign devices.
- Two‑finger pinch zoom (99cdcb0) — mobile page‑scale pipeline enabled (--enable-viewport); internal pages locked at scale 1.
- Keyboard (3dab90e) — long language names (for example: “norsk bokmål”) now fit inside the space bar instead of overflowing.
- Added the ability to open multiple links in RooTitanium (FIX).
- Added some privacy features in settings.
- Various fixes.
- About Page in Settings;
- Fix settings page;
- More fix, fix, fix...
- Fixed black square
- Fix for Xiaomi POCO M4 Pro 4g "Fleur".
- Fixed: HTML <select> dropdowns were impossible to pick from (taps went through the popup)
- Engine updated to Qt WebEngine 6.8.4 — Chromium 122 base with security fixes backported up to 138.0.7204.96
- Updated credits (Chromium/Qt security backports; Sailfish patches by Rinigus, piggz, nephros)
- Fix YouTube Player Control.
- Add system keyboard to the browser (Thx Cristoffer/Imperador).
- Fixed selection test function.
- Added hardware video decoder.
- Many fixes;
- Added swipe for BACK and NEXT page (center to DX for BACK, center to SX for NEXT).

Changelog 2.1:
- Fixed some social networks bugs.
- Arch armv7hl beta version.

Changelog 2.5:
- New engine: Chromium 140 (Qt WebEngine 6.140 on Qt 6.12), with security fixes up to Chromium 154. It was previously Chromium 122. The Qt stack is compiled by us and travels inside the app as before.
- Graphics acceleration: with Chromium 140, the page remained black because the engine no longer shares the GPU with Qt on its own. Now the app handles the sharing. Tested on Mali (POCO M4 Pro) and Adreno (Xperia 10 III), with WebGL. Approximately 14% less CPU usage than version 2.2 on the same video.
- Video with the phone's decoder: no more diagonally striped image. Some chips declare a different row width than the actual one (WebM on the Xperia 10 III, .mp4 on other phones); now the correct width is derived from the pixels.
- Permissions: if the general "App Permissions" switch is off and a site requests the microphone or location, a warning is displayed instead of silently refusing.
- Settings: no longer close the app when a switch is touched.
- History: you can now delete a single entry (the ✕ next to each row), an entire site, or a period (last hour, today, last 7 days, all). Each group deletion asks for confirmation and states how many entries will disappear. When entries are deleted, the memory of visited links is also removed, meaning the color of already opened links.
- Address bar: on internal pages (History, Bookmarks, Settings…) it still showed the address of the previous site; now it shows the address of the open page.
- Dependencies: declared libgbm (mesa-llvmpipe-libgbm) and other system libraries used by the package. They are installed automatically.

Changelog 2.7:
- Reload button in the toolbar, between Back and the address bar.
- HOME in a new tab: with the option on, the ⌂ button opens the home page in a new tab instead of replacing the current one. Turn it on in Settings › Home page › "⌂ opens a new tab".
- New icon in a steel style.
- Google Maps: "Directions" now works and shows the route. Before, it failed with "unsupported URL scheme". "Start" now shows a notice instead of sending you to the Play Store, because Google offers turn-by-turn navigation only in its Android app. For driving we recommend Pure Maps.
- User agent: the browser now reports its real version, Chrome 140, instead of the old 122.
- Hide-on-scroll address bar: it now comes back on every new page. Before, on short pages such as Site Permissions, you could not go back.
- Added notifications from sites.

Changelog 2.8:
- Push notifications from websites (BETA, off by default). With Foghorn (UnifiedPush, available on OpenRepos) websites can send notifications even when the app is closed, without Google servers. Messages are encrypted from the website to your phone. Settings → Website push notifications, with an Instructions page. Available on both aarch64 and armv7hl.
- Bookmarks can now be edited: name and address (✎ on the Bookmarks page).
- Smooth animations for menus, dialogs, popups and pages
(Settings → Theme, off by default).
- Pages no longer switch to the desktop version by themselves. When the phone closed a page's process (tab in the background for a while, low memory, crash), reloading brought it back without the mobile zoom, so the site showed its desktop layout even with "Desktop site" turned off.
- File picker: folders could not be opened, so files could not be uploaded. Fixed.
- Toggles in Settings no longer jump the page back to the top.
- Swipe Back/Forward and the privacy protections work again on the first page of every new site.
