Good if you need to use Chrome stuff
Has the original developer of Bromite ever reappeared to let us know he’s alright?
I didn’t realize they vanished
Reason for the fork
pretty good, the built in adblock isn’t much sophisticated tho. fenix with ublock origin is superior unless you really need chromium.
Yeah just noticed people posting about Brave and this has worked as a better “Chrome on hard difficulty” without you know putting ads on the homescreen and coiner meme shit nobody likes
I routinely use Cromite and IronFox (closest to LibreWolf for android). Have Brave for logging into accounts with some adjustment and For browser for checking flights or discounts etc.
I’m not really clear on how Brave fares versus regular Chromium or something, but that’s pretty much how I use Android. Technically my default browser is Linksheet, which rules
But LinkSheet isn’t a browser, is it? Isn’t it just a helper app that lets us decide which browser to use ad hoc?
I’m with you and not perfectly sure that Brave is the best, but I reserve it for my logged in accounts only. IronFox and Cromite both set to private with no history or logs, and used for single use opening of links from Lemmy etc. Trying to isolate / separate third party cookies and tracking as I can. I also use Rethink DNS as firewall and with three filters for whole android device.
Nothing as sleazy as Brave should be on our devices tbqh there has to be something with a similar balance of website breaking & adblocking + degoogling
Yeah Rethink is dope I see we have both pulled all of the good Fdroid apps :^]
Great for my tablet which is too weak to run IronFox smoothly. One annoyance is that it’ll insist on a refresh if your internet connection is interrupted or changes in any way. The reason for it is not immediately obvious and neither is the option to turn it off (Settings > Homepage > Ask to restart on connection change)
