The Bromite project has been inactive for the last 9 months or so. Today I found this fork of Bromite that’s well maintained and seems to work flawlessly. Hope it helps others who were looking for a replacement.
Why waste your time with this when Firefox exists?
I want to use Firefox on Android, but it’s simply not there yet. It’s noticeably slower, some sites have broken layout, and I kinda hate their tan management system. I still have it installed, and willing to switch if it’s capable enough, but sadly it’s not.
It’s the best browser on desktop though, by far.
I think people who prefer things other than what I prefer should be round up and shot.
If you disable chrome and only have Firefox on it will use Firefox webview. Android should have make it use default browser or have a selection for default webview.
There is a selection in developer settings and it does not list Firefox.
Disabling Chromium or not having it in the first place simply makes apps that use WebView crash.
I don’t understand why bromite can’t sync to chrome pc? Anyone?
It’s not in the dev’s hands. There may be some workarounds, but Google discourages against using them.
Does it allow playback of DRM media? I have some cough science websites that needs DRM for playback.
Cool. I hope it is released on Play Store if it is possible. If brave & kiwi can be released, I’m sure they can also release without issue.
I don’t think they want to. I don’t recall why, but you can probably find a discussions about this easily.
It’s not free to publish apps on the Play Store. And I’m not sure if this is still the case today, but I recall of Google forcing to include their libraries on apps published there.
Are they including kiwi’s extensions support? I know Bromite and others would not maintain it.
Kiwi is the only android browser for me, being able to access all the standard desktop addons is game changing, like damn.
