What is Bromite?

Bromite is a customized variant of Chromium that prioritizes user privacy and ad-blocking capabilities, with the goal of restoring a more enjoyable browsing experience. It aims to provide a seamless online environment that is free from disruptive privacy elements, supported by a fast and effective ad-blocking mechanism. The user interface undergoes minimal changes to foster an experience that discourages the perception of browsers as advertisement platforms. Committed to the open-source ethos, all enhancements are made available under the GNU/GPL v3 license. Bromite is designed to work exclusively with Android Lollipop (version 5.0, API level 21) and later versions. Users have the ability to personalize ad-block filters by using their own URLs, prevent click-tracking, and exclude AMP from their search results. It also features DNS-over-HTTPS functionality compatible with any valid IETF DoH endpoint, operates in a constant incognito mode, and disables all field trials while turning off smart search by default, allowing for searches directly from incognito mode. Moreover, it keeps cookie, JavaScript, and ad settings consistently accessible, eliminates integration of Play binary blobs, and implements Control Flow Integrity (CFI) across all architectures except for x86, thereby ensuring a secure and user-friendly browsing experience. In essence, Bromite empowers individuals to manage their online activities while emphasizing privacy and efficiency, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a controlled browsing environment. Additionally, by focusing on user preferences and security measures, Bromite offers a robust alternative to traditional web browsers.

    Newer Bromite versions are all Incompatible with my Tracfone LG phone that has not-upgradeable Android 7.0 (March, 2017), and the armeabi-v7a architecture.

    Updated: Nov 06 2022
    Summary

    I used to be really happy with Bromite. Now I'm really mad and disappointed at how much time I've wasted, downloading newer Bromite-recommended versions that wouldn't even install onto my Tracfone LG phone.

    Positive

    Older Bromite was compatible, fast, secure, and private. For some time between 1-2 years, I used Bromite as my one and only Android web browser, many times a day, every single day.

    Negative

    Bromite keeps telling me that there is a new version, but new Bromite versions incompatible with the armeabi-v7a architecture that that my phone has!!!

    I've wasted LOTS OF TIME SLOWLY DOWNLOADING AND BEING UNABLE TO INSTALL MANY INCOMPATIBLE BROMITE VERSIONS that Bromite keeps recommending that I upgrade to!!!
