About

Cromite is a Chromium fork based on Bromite with built-in support for ad blocking and an eye for privacy. Cromite's goal is to limit the features built into the browser that can be used as a platform for tracking users' habits, and, if it is not technically possible, disable them and leave it up to the user to choose whether to re-enable them limit the close integration between the browser and its manufacturer not let the excellent research work done by csagan5 with Bromite be lost
