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.
I use it every day and I never had problems with it. It’s pretty OK.but I would like to have something more powerful like Unblock Origin which is available on Firefox for android but the performance is not that good and I didn’t like how it worked
It has site isolation problem and it’s slow 😮💨 . it used to be my favourite
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.
If you are referring to the crypto side of things you can easily disable them. I don’t see any spyware TBH.
Well, let’s see what happens first. If we’ll be able to disable all the junk, it’ll be okay.
I still wanna support diversity among browser engines.
i think it’s better to jump ship now so that they get scared and stop the enshitification early before it s too late
I recently shifted from Firefox based Browsers. I’m currently testing cromite. One issue is it’s ad blocker is not that perfect. It has easy list as it’s main blacklist. I think it would be really nice if they add ublock origin , ad guard or other blocklist. Though I added next dns as secure dns in the Browser . it has all the blocklist i need
So i just found that you can add custom filters . i added stevenblack You guys can also try it https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts
You can add any filter list you want to it. You can also use GreaseMonkey user scripts.
I still prefer Mull, but I keep Cromite installed
