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.

    It didnt become Cromite. Bromite was abandoned and a single person or a couple regular maintainer forked it and created Cromite, embedding code from AdBlockPlus etc.

      Yeah I know, I think a project dying and continuing as a fork still counts though
