The app hasn’t been updated in six months according to F-Droid when I used the official Bromite repo. I mean no disrespect to the Dev I’m just concerned about security vulnerabilities in the browser. Bromite was considered one of the best in the privacy space and I’d hate to see it go. If anybody could shed some light on this that would be great.
There is someone who has been keeping a fork of it alive: https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools
I use iceraven. It’s FOSS and supports extensions, so I use ublock origin, noscript, privacy badger and I don’t care about cookies. Basically the best browser you can get.
I am pretty sure the app got abandoned. If you want a nice Chromium based browser I would highly recommend you check out Vivaldi. Their recent interview with Techlore also made me feel much better about them. While I know that Brave is an option, I personally can’t bring myself to trust an ad driven for profit company to run my browser. But if you can trust Brave then that is also another great option.
Vivaldi isn’t open source tho
The base is open source, only the UI is not, but is source available. https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-browser-open-source/
Yep, abandoned. I’ve just been using vanadium on graphene os.
Get off of bromite asap, theres a few zero days that haven’t been patched.
Discussion about that is here: https://github.com/bromite/bromite/issues/2610
Also Carl commented here a month ago: https://github.com/bromite/bromite/pull/2561#issuecomment-1557577624
Fennec is a good alternative.
