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
GNUzilla represents the GNU adaptation of the Mozilla suite, whereas GNU IceCat is the version of the Firefox browser tailored for GNU users. Its primary benefit lies in its commitment to ethical standards, as it is entirely composed of free software. Although the source code of Firefox from the Mozilla project is also open, it endorses and includes nonfree software in the form of plug-ins and add-ons. Furthermore, the trademark license set by Mozilla imposes restrictions on how modified versions can be distributed, which can hinder users' ability to fully exercise their freedom in software use. IceCat enhances browsing security by providing an extension that encrypts communications with numerous prominent websites. It effectively blocks privacy trackers during standard browsing sessions and prevents all third-party requests while in private browsing mode, utilizing Adblock Plus technology. Additionally, IceCat features a unique “about:icecat” homepage that offers valuable insights into its free software and privacy functionalities, along with customizable checkboxes to enable or disable features that may disrupt website accessibility, ensuring a more tailored browsing experience. This thoughtful design not only promotes user privacy but also aligns with the principles of free software advocacy.
