### Cromite

<div class="admonition recommendation" markdown>

![Cromite logo](assets/img/browsers/cromite.svg){ align=right }

**Cromite** is a Chromium-based browser with privacy and security enhancements, built-in ad blocking, and some fingerprinting randomization. It is the continuation of Bromite.

and some fingerprinting randomization.

some because I never detailed them, correct?
do you think it is right for me to do so, i.e. to detail what has been implemented and what I think is missing?
do you happen to have a list of those implemented in brave as a comparison?

I would like that then I would directly link to it.

do you happen to have a list of those implemented in brave as a comparison?

There are various blog articles that I think one would have to go through. This however might be more relevant as it discusses what is randomized and what is blocked.

Also I think has to do with testing at https://privacytests.org/android - where it seems to cover similar things to Brave but less than Mull. Not that I think Cromite should go as far as Mull does necessarily, to be clear. There are tradeoffs here, and I don't think Cromite intends to go as far as Firefox RFP?

ah I didn't even know @arthuredelstein added cromite!

let's talk about it if you want. the results of each test should be interpreted.
But I don't think cromite is necessarily better than others: what cromite lacks is testing (and spread :) and I am okay with the fact that there are excellent sites like that and the duck duck test site because I use them to check regressions.
too bad there is no site that compare the same browser on different devices, not so much on functionality, but on how it looks to the Web sites.
creepjs, my reference website, has something similar, but it is hidden very well in the code.

Not that I think Cromite should go as far as Mull does necessarily, to be clear.

Unfortunately, I don't know Mull so I can't answer that.

I don't think Cromite intends to go as far as Firefox RFP?

I don't know that one either.
I can tell you that my goal is to make all devices as similar as possible, as Tor does.
