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
I get an image of a scarecrow in my head whenever I say Cromite
Brave is almost the same and Vanadium is better on Grapheme devices I don’t recommend Bromite or even a fork It will probably have the same Update issues like Bromite which makes it a terrible option
He was the developer working on Bromite with csagan, and he was likely not the cause of the delays, since the builds on his repo have been keeping up with Chromium all year. I’ve been using it since Bromite stopped getting updates and it works really well. Brave was my second option because of the fingerprinting protection and adblocking, but they don’t disable JavaScript JIT like Bromite and now Cromite. User script support is also really handy for me

I wish Bitwarden auto fill worked better with this browser.

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.
