Cromite
The Cromite project maintains a Chromium fork with ad blocking and privacy features for Android, Windows, and Linux.
About Cromite
Cromite is an open-source Chromium fork based on Bromite. It includes built-in ad blocking and changes intended to limit browser features that can be used for tracking, and to reduce integration between the browser and its manufacturer. Its code, documentation, and release files are published in a public GitHub repository.
You can download builds for Android 10 and above, Windows 64-bit, and Linux 64-bit, including standard browser packages and System WebView packages for Android. The repository also provides documentation on features, FAQs, patches, and how to build the browser, along with an official F-Droid repository and auto-update options on Android and Windows.
It suits users on supported Android, Windows, and Linux devices who want a Chromium-based browser with ad blocking and privacy-related modifications and who are comfortable installing and updating software from GitHub or F-Droid.
