end of life browsers
Thorium hasn't been updated since May 17th of 2024 and is on Chromium 124.0.6367.218. This is at least 96 known security issues, 2 of which are known abused in the wild. It should be moved to the EOL category. https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Android/releases
Kiwi hasn't been updated since April 24th of 2024 and is on Chromium 124.0.6327.3. This is at least 129 known security issues, 4 of which are known abused in the wild. It should be moved to the EOL category. https://github.com/kiwibrowser/src.next/releases
Bromite hasn't been updated since December 19th of 2022 and is on Chromium 108.0.5359.156. This is at least 559 known security issues. It should be removed and maybe warn the user if it is installed. https://github.com/bromite/bromite/releases
shady code
What? Citation please. Cromite uses AdBlock Plus, it doesn't use the impostor uBlock. https://github.com/uazo/cromite/blob/master/build/patches/Eyeo-Adblock-for-Cromite.patch
okay thanks for the heads up. tbh not sure if ABP is better, but my point was parroted from an unreliable source then
I personally don't care for ABP compared to uBlock Origin (the gold standard), but it isn't inherently malicious or anything.
a GrapheneOS person told me that it was the company behind uBlock, that does shady things and has bad code practices or something. But 1. I dont remember the exact phrasing and 2. I have no proof for that.
I will only use Mulch, Vanadium, Mull or Torbrowser :D
Sorry for my late reply and thanks for the input @SkewedZeppelin :
- Thorium can stay (last update 22.08)
- Kiwi will be categorized as end-of-life.
- Bromite will be removed because the latest version is almost 2 years old and one developer moved to Cromite.
@Tobi823 remove icons and other metadata of Bromite *, Lockwise and UngoogledChromium from app

"Person told me". Interesting argument.
