I used to use bromite until yesterday when I discovered that it has been abandoned by the main dev. One of the contributions is keeping the browser patches alive in his own repo but not under the bromite branding.
So currently I'm test driving Mulch which includes vanadium and bromite patches. My backup is trusty Fennec :)
There is a Bromite fork called Cromite if you'd like to go on with that.
https://github.com/uazo/cromite
It has a FDroid repository if you want to keep it updated 😊
Thanks! This is great.
For the record I use Mull and Mullvad Browser (no relation).
I'm on Librewolf and Mull, but when I need a browser with JS and cookies and no Adguard... I go with Cromite now :)
Thank you :) I had switched to mulch in the interim but it'll be nice to have a drop in replacement.
I also used Mulch as an alternative to Bromite before discovering Cromite some days ago :)
Nice :) For some reason I'm not able to install it via obtainium.
Haha you aren't alone in using bromite for months without noticing it's no longer maintained.
+1 for bromite-buildtools https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools
I am using the bromite-buildtools, too. The Updates are very fast (usually in 2 or 3 days) and it has integrated adblock.
On Desktop i use Librewolf with uBlock on medium mode..
