It gets my goat that people think it’s a good option. There are plenty of articles explaining some of the many issues with it, but a few are:

  1. It’s run by anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
  2. It has ads right out of the box.
  3. It collected donations towards people who never signed up for them - then held them to ransom in exchange for the kind of information you should never share on the Internet.
  4. They’re a for-profit advertising company. “Privacy-centric” my elbow.

    Cromite is more of a “single purpose” browser, for hardcore antifingerprinting.

    If you want to shop online or browse stuff without tracking ghosts following you around, there is nothing even close.

    I love it.

    …But it’s kind of impractical.

    Its antifingerprinting is so extreme it breaks many sites. It doesn’t even try to support many features/extensions in pursuit of this. And TBH, any browser with full UBlock (like Helium or Firefox) provides a better “adblocking” experience, albeit not as strong of an anti-tracking one.
