Cromite browser was a privacy and security oriented Android browser.
Their latest update was in 21th of May: v148.0.7778.168.
Their commit history also suggest that the browser is slowly being sunset.
To put it into context, the current version of chrome on Android is 150.0.7871.63, released on 30th of June.
As a GrapheneOS user I’m aware of the developers’ arguments for it, but it has the same problem as every other Chromium browser: Google controls the upstream code, so it’s still going to contribute to Google’s harmful hegemony over web standards.
It probably is more “secure” than Firefox, though, measured against the GrapheneOS devs’ threat model. But my problem with Chromium is one they don’t even try to address.
Going with that argument though, isn’t the whole of GrapheneOS then problematic as Google also controls that upstream code?
The rest of GrapheneOS doesn’t influence how web developers design websites, or what fingerprinting and other private information the browser allows sites to steal from users.
It’s not just Manifest V3, either. It’s also the “Web Environment Integrity” API (read: DRM for websites) and “WebMCP” and such. Those are the sorts of monopolistic practices and enshittification you’re supporting and endorsing whenever you use a Chromium-based browser, including Vanadium.
