Thank you, sadly enough I might actually need it.

Thank you for the reply, I was aware of Cromite, though not of Mulch. Considering how Bromite turned out, I'm looking at Vivaldi at this point for my new browser.

Thank you for your reply, I don't look forward to transferring things over one by one, but it is a better idea than me just Freaking out. As for worrying about breaking my phone, I do not consider myself very smart, so reading that there is a chance that rooting your phone can brick it scares me.

As for a password manager, I'm not completely stupid, I use an offline app which is updated fairly regularly and is quite secure.

sigh Guess I'd better get to working on this sooner rather than later. Thank you again for your reply.

Ah, I see. Thank you for the swift answer, though I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by just transferring to Firefox. Bromite is an android browser and does not have a sync function, which prevents me from easily getting to the app data and moving it to a new android browser. If I'm mistaken can you give me a link?

Does the webp vulnerability (CVE-2023-4863) affect the Bromite browser? (lemdro.id)
 

Hello everyone, I'm new here and I've got a fairly serious question/problem.

I've used Bromite for a long time, and now with the threat of CVE-2023-4863, I can't help but constantly fear getting screwed over by a malicious image. I've tried looking myself but cannot find an answer if bromite is vulnerable to this threat, mostly because the main developer of the browser hasn't been active for a very long time.

I'd love to switch to another browser but to transfer all my data would require root access, which could damage my pixel 6. So I'm kinda stuck in a jam.

Can anyone please help me?
