Bromite’s actively maintained fork is going to have its own branding starting from next release according to the latest release notes:
Please note: this is the last release, the next one will be in https://github.com/uazo/cromite
Still don’t understaand why devs prefer fork in instead of improving existing apps and duplicate efforts.
Bromite hasn’t been touched for 6 months, so this is the opposite of duplicating effort, it’s an effort to save the project!
I was not aware of that. Thanks for the information.

Something similar happened with youtube-dlc, allowing yt-dlp to be born
At a quick glance, cromite apparently intends to be much stricter on security and privacy, over usability.
