Cromite a Bromite fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancements; take back your browser! - uazo/cromite
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.

I heard that Cromite is shady, and recommendations pro Brave instead.I cant find the sources, this topic is really complicated, brave is shady too.
Which is crazy as Brave is so much more bloated.
Mulch is a based browser for regular Android, close behind Vanadium in features and release cadence, but without patches that break regular Android and only work on GrapheneOS.
What have you heard about Cromite which makes it more shady than Brave!?
Honestly somewhere in GrapheneOS forums but I was not alble to find it.
Just that they embed code for their adblocking engine that is by ABP. Which may be fair, may be not.
GrapheneOS people recommend Brave, but no idea why, apart from the privacy advantages over Vanadium.
This is what they mean I think
