Comment on Chromium vs Brave
bug@lemmy.one 1 year ago
Cromite is a fork of the seemingly-abandoned Bromite, which used to be the only browser recommended by GrapheneOS (other than their own Vanadium). It’s relatively new though so I don’t think that much has been written about it for comparison.
Chromite/Bromite is primarily an android browser, even on windows it looks and behaves just like a mobile app.
Whilst I like the feature set as an alternative to Brave the fact they refuse to fix the PWA situation as it’s “Of no interest” to the dev is a no go for me.
Ah, I missed the part in the OP where it said “Linux”, whoops

Thanks a lot for mentioning this! I didn’t know someone took over the good work from Bromite. I’ll definitely check into it! Am I correct to assume that (like Bromite), this is a browser exclusively meant to be used on Android devices? I guess I might get it to work on Waydroid as well, not sure if I would like to commit to that yet though. Nonetheless, this input of yours has been much appreciated!

Iirc cromite supports Android and windows ATM. Check the repo here: https://github.com/uazo/cromite
Updating using obtanium works good.

No Linux, I feel left out 😭. Though it would be awesome if I could get it working in Wine (read: Bottles).
