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.

Nope, that was just a really silly context-free git diff that people seized on as if it meant something deep. They edited one piece of documentation to have different wording. Privacy is still very much a part of their branding.
