ѕєχυαℓ ρσℓутσρєBromite is dead, long live Cromite.
betwixthewiresAre they including kiwi’s extensions support? I know Bromite and others would not maintain it.
Not yet. But there’s experimental support for userscripts.
I’ve not followed this scene a lot. Has chrome effectively killed off uBlock?
It does work on Desktop afaik. Not sure why they decided to go with ABP instead.
Mulch?
That’s another good alternative.
DARbarianF-Droid release is long overdue
Yes. I’m currently using their own f-droid repo. I might just keep using it even when the official repo is available, since f-droid is notorious for slow updates.
FrancisFelizThank goodness someone picked up the project and released a fork. The browser is too good to be abandoned.
I’m using it rn. has the same bromite simplicity and smoothness with extra features
Why waste your time with this when Firefox exists?
I want to use Firefox on Android, but it’s simply not there yet. It’s noticeable slower, some sites have broken layout, and I kinda hate their tan management system. I still have it installed, and willing to switch if it’s capable enough, but sadly it’s not.
It’s the best browser on Desktop though, by far.
EngywookBecause OP prefers Chromite, maybe?
CaketacoI think people who prefer things other than what I prefer should be round up and shot.
Hope you forgot an “/s” somewhere
Nope, this is my genuine, unfiltered, dogshit opinion. I genuinely believe execution is the correct option when someone has a slight difference in preference compared to me.
Lol… Ok, cool 😅
AtemuCan’t use Firefox as system webview sadly.
I don’t understand why bromite can’t sync to chrome pc? Anyone?
It’s not in the dev’s hands.. There may be some workarounds, but Google discourages against using them.
Can link workaround?
I’ve never used any of them, so no idea if they work on Android or not. But, here you can find some discussion about it.
zeus 𓆩🗲𓆪I wonder if they could use firefox sync
i imagine it’d be more work as it’s not pre-built, but samsung internet does it so maybe mozilla are a little more lax with who uses their services
Fennec has been amazing for me for quite a time now but it is a bit frustrating to use FF only when you’re using android. That’s only because Google sucks ass but this will somewhat be a remedy.
Does it allow playback of DRM media?
I have some cough science websites that needs DRM for playback.
Yes, it does.
Cool.
I hope it is released on Play Store if it is possible.
If brave & kiwi can be released, I’m sure they can also release without issue.
I don’t think they want to. I don’t recal why, but you can probably find a discussions about this easily.
It’s a bummer.
If the app was good then I would have replaced Brave with it on my parent’s devices.
Why do you care whether it’s on the play store or not?
I was looking to replace Brave on my Mom’s phone, and having it on play store and auto-update, I woulnd’t have to worry much.
sir_reginaldIt’s not free to publish apps on the Play Store. And I’m not sure if this is still the case today, but I recall of Google forcing to include their libraries on apps published there.
Chromium already does use tons of Google libs already underneath.
The fees is a fair point though. But it’s one time fees right? I think the community can raise that much money. Heck even I would be willing to donate a part of they are willing to publish on Play Store.
SmokeyDopeKiwi is the only android browser for me, being able to access all the standard desktop addons is game changing, like damn.
There is an open issue for JPEG-XL support. Once Cromite adopts JXL, I’d be willing to switch over
Mulch can also be said to be another spiritual successor to Bromite since it’s also supposed to be hardened against threats.
