Cromite builds on Chromium and Bromite. You get a recognizable browser with tabs, bookmarks and an address bar, but with other choices around advertisements and data that websites may retrieve. The built-in blocking is especially useful if you want to limit ads without first figuring out a separate extension.

The privacy settings go beyond an incognito window. Different browser functions that can be used for recognition of your device are limited or disabled by default. That gives you more control, but can also affect websites with video calls, protected video or interactive images. Therefore, only change the setting that a particular website needs.

On Android you can enable notifications about new versions. On Windows, tracking the browser requires more attention: the developer describes, among other things, a design with chraluncher. The Linux edition is presented as an archive. So choose Cromite consciously if you are willing to keep an eye on updates and compatibility yourself.

Who is it for?

Cromite is useful if you like the operation of Chromium and want more influence on advertising blocking and browser privacy. For a computer that you maintain for someone else, it's easy to automatically update.

Getting started

On the official release page, choose the Android-APK, Windows-ZIP or Linux edition that belongs to your device. Please also read the project installation and update instructions for desktop.

Privacy

Cromite limits various possibilities for tracking and finger printing. It doesn't automatically hide your IP address and you don't become anonymous. The developer explicitly calls the protection against fingerprinting incomplete.

Our verdict

Cromite is especially interesting if you want to decide how many browser functions a website can use. The built-in block saves an additional step, but does not render maintenance unnecessary. Choose this browser when you want to understand settings and follow updates yourself. For easy use of all video services and web meetings, a less customized browser is often a simpler choice. Keep a second browser at hand for a website that needs additional features.
