Description

Bromite is a modified version of Chromium that focuses on ad blocking and improved privacy, empowering users to reclaim their browsing experience. Its primary aim is to deliver a streamlined browsing interface devoid of intrusive privacy features while incorporating a rapid ad-blocking engine. To reinforce the concept of a browser free from advertisements, it employs minimal user interface changes. All modifications made to Bromite are released under the GNU/GPL v3 license, allowing other open-source initiatives to benefit from its enhancements. This browser is exclusively compatible with Android Lollipop (version 5.0, API level 21) and newer versions. Users can customize ad-block filters with their own URLs, eliminate click-tracking and AMP from search results, and enjoy DNS-over-HTTPS support through any legitimate IETF DoH endpoint. It features a perpetually active incognito mode, permanently disables all field trials, and deactivates smart search by default while enabling web searches from incognito sessions. Additionally, it maintains visibility for cookies, JavaScript, and ads site settings and removes binary blobs related to Play integration, while also employing Control Flow Integrity (CFI) across all architectures, with the exception of x86. This dedication to user privacy and performance positions Bromite as a powerful alternative for those seeking a more secure browsing experience on mobile devices.

Description

Falkon is a web browser developed by KDE that utilizes the QtWebEngine rendering engine and was formerly known as QupZilla. Its design focuses on being a lightweight browser compatible with all major operating systems. Initially created for educational objectives, Falkon has evolved into a fully-featured web browser since its inception. It includes all the essential functionalities typical of a web browser, such as bookmarks, history (accessible via a sidebar), and tabbed browsing. Additionally, it comes with an integrated AdBlock plugin that automatically blocks ads by default. The project traces its origins back to December 2010 when the first version of QupZilla was launched, developed in Python using PyQt4 bindings. Following several iterations, QupZilla underwent a complete rewrite in C++ using the Qt Framework. The first public version released was 1.0.0-b4. Up until version 2.0, QupZilla operated with the now-obsolete QtWebKit, but subsequent updates transitioned to using the QtWebEngine. With the arrival of version 3.0, the project ceased development under the QupZilla name and has continued to be updated and released as Falkon. This transition marked a significant shift in the project's identity and focus on modern web standards.
