Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 20 Sep 04:27

Zerium Browser v1.9.0 — build #21 · 2026-09-20 04:27 UTC

Stable release — immutable and permanently tied to the v1.9.0 tag. The same build is available on the rolling latest channel while it is the newest successful build of main.

What's changed

  • fix(downloads): classify m3u8/mpd playlists as video; align test with text/html -> Docs
  • fix(tests): pure-JVM data layer (drop TextUtils stubs) + real org.json for unit tests
  • fix: compile — R imports in dl package, HLS callback flow collision, @JvmStatic sheet entry point, missing failure string
  • feat: v1.9.0 — turbo download engine, media grabber, Compose M3 surfaces

Downloads

File Description
Zerium-v1.9.0-release.apk Signed release build — recommended for daily use
Zerium-v1.9.0-debug.apk Debug build — for development and testing
SHA256SUMS.txt SHA-256 checksums for both APKs

Requirements: Android 8.0+ (API 26) · universal APK (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86, x86_64) · ~5 MB · no account or telemetry of any kind.

Install

  1. Download Zerium-v1.9.0-release.apk from the assets below.
  2. Open the file and allow installs from your browser or file manager when prompted.
  3. Optional — verify integrity before installing: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt

Known limitations

  • In-stream video ads (including YouTube's) are suppressed client-side — player-API pruning, auto-skip, overlay hiding — not removed at network level; some formats can still slip through as sites change. Scope and rationale: docs/CONTENT_BLOCKING.md.
  • No extension support (System WebView engine — deliberate tradeoff, see docs/ARCHITECTURE.md).
  • Do Not Track / GPC headers apply to main-frame requests only.
