Since it looks like Firefox might not be a good option for the long haul due to some disappointing decisions from its management, I’m on the lookout for privacy-friendly alternatives. I came across Cromite, which is based on Chromium and has an ad blocker. Has anyone tried it? From what I’ve seen, the built-in ad blocker seems pretty basic and not very customizable. Still, I think any alternative we choose should be based on Chromium, especially if we don’t want to wait ages for Ladybird.
Bromite used to be the only non-built-in browser recommended by GrapheneOS, and I’ve not seen anything bad posted since it became Cromite. Apparently Firefox on Android still doesn’t have site isolation so it’s still a toss-up between security and the ominous shadow of Google.
No content blocker = no security. (Not quite no, but it’s very critical.)
Fortunately I think they both have content blocking available. Also I set my private DNS to block ads in every app.
It didnt become Cromite. Bromite was abandoned and a single person or a couple forked it and created Cromite, embedding code from AdBlockPlus etc.
Yeah I know, I think a project dying and continuing as a fork still counts though
