Since it looks like Firefox might not be a good option for the long haul due to some disappointing decisions from its management, I’m on the lookout for privacy-friendly alternatives. I came across Cromite, which is based on Chromium and has an ad blocker. Has anyone tried it? From what I’ve seen, the built-in ad blocker seems pretty basic and not very customizable. Still, I think any alternative we choose should be based on Chromium, especially if we don’t want to wait ages for Ladybird.
That logic makes absolutely no sense. Look into Google before you take issue with Mozilla.
I heard that Cromite is shady, and recommendations pro Brave instead.I cant find the sources, this topic is really complicated, brave is shady too.
Which is crazy as Brave is so much more bloated.
Mulch is a based browser for regular Android, close behind Vanadium in features and release cadence, but without patches that break regular Android and only work on GrapheneOS.
I used both Cromite and Brave. Ended up using Brave (disabling all the crypto things) since it offers better handling in ad blocks and anti fingerprint.
Brave is shady crypto infested spyware.
If you are referring to the crypto side of things you can easily disable them. I don’t see any spyware TBH.
If you look up what they have done in the past, you’ll know.

Did I ever talk about Mozilla? Who said Mozilla or stock Firefox was good? They’re ass. Mozilla is ass and stock firefox is worse than stock chrome. I wouldn’t use Librewolf if it wasn’t for the monopoly and ublock origin support. Not because Librewolf is bad but because I know that Firefox’s security sucks and Gecko is slow indeed, but now not even privacy focused chromium browsers are an option because of manifest v3, great. At this point, I am hoping for Ladybird to be something to look forward to, because even the alternative to chromium is shit.
Brave is not any better. It should be obvious for anyone enough to understand how shady brave devs are, when they:
- injected some referral into URLs (url injection… literally malware behaviour)
- added “private” (basically mozilla PPA) advertisements right into the browser
- added sponsored backgrounds into the homepage to make money
- set the default search engine to Google
- added etoro advertisements to the homepage
