Cromite
Cromite a Bromite fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancements
Cromite is an open-source web browser project that originated as a fork of Bromite—a Chromium-based browser focused on ad blocking and enhanced privacy—and continues to evolve with built-in privacy protections and content filtering across Android, Windows, and Linux platforms. It retains the core goal of limiting tracking and intrusive ads by integrating ad blocking directly into the browser engine rather than relying on external extensions, all while striving to reduce telemetry, aggressive analytics, and close manufacturer integration. Cromite emphasizes user choice and control over web content, offering privacy-oriented settings and mitigations such as anti-fingerprinting measures and configurable filters to block unwanted elements. The project extends its focus beyond Android to desktop platforms, building packages that let users benefit from a more private browsing experience without sacrificing compatibility with modern web standards. -

Ungoogled Chromium Android
Android build for ungoogled-chromium
Ungoogled Chromium Android is the Android platform build configuration and support tooling for Ungoogled Chromium on mobile devices, enabling privacy-minded users and developers to compile a version of the Chromium browser for Android that excludes Google-dependent services, telemetry, and tracking. This repository contains platform-specific patches, build targets, and integration scripts to adapt the upstream Chromium source for Android while eliminating components like Google Play Services hooks, automatic updater mechanisms, and preconfigured search engines that compromise privacy. The goal is to offer an Android browser that feels familiar in capability and rendering fidelity but does not phone home, engage with proprietary APIs, or leak usage data to third-party providers. Because Android’s ecosystem is heavily tied to Google’s app services, this effort focuses on ensuring core browsing functionality, tab management, extension support (as available), and performance optimizations. -

Chromium
The official GitHub mirror of the Chromium source
Chromium is the open‑source foundational web browser project that drives browsers like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera—built for speed, stability, security, and extendability across platforms. This directory is currently in a prototyping state and may be removed in the future. As we add support for multiple coding IDE/agents, we will likely pull common prompts and instructions into a central directory with stubs for bespoke IDE/agent integration. Please check with your organization before using GitHub Copilot. copilot-intructions.md is typically a single instruction file that contains default instructions for a workspace. These instructions are automatically included in every chat request. -

Thorium for Android
High-performance, privacy-focused browser built as a fork of Chromium
Thorium-Android is the Android-specific component of the Thorium browser ecosystem, a community-oriented, Chromium-based web browser project focused on improving performance, privacy, and user experience beyond what you typically get from stock Chromium builds. Like its desktop counterparts, Thorium for Android compiles the latest Chromium source with targeted optimizations and patches, aiming for faster loading, smoother rendering, and sensible defaults that emphasize privacy and reduced unwanted data flows. The Android branch adapts these enhancements to work on ARM and ARM64 devices, offering users a familiar yet distinct browsing experience with added performance tuning over standard mobile browsers. It typically includes the same underlying engine that scored high in independent performance benchmarks and leverages optimization flags and compiler improvements to boost responsiveness. -

Bromite
Bromite is a Chromium fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancements
Bromite is an open-source web browser for Android based on the Chromium codebase that prioritizes privacy, performance, and a clean user experience with minimal tracking or clutter. It enhances the standard browser functionality by including built-in ad blocking, customizable filters, and privacy-centric defaults that remove or mitigate tracking features often embedded in mainstream browsers. Bromite’s development focuses on giving users greater control over web content and behavior, such as options for DNS-over-HTTPS, disabling field trials, showing site settings (cookies, JavaScript, etc.) directly from the address bar, and avoiding unnecessary integrations that may compromise privacy. Designed for Android Marshmallow (6.0) and above, it keeps the familiar Chromium interface while stripping out telemetry and server-side experiments, making it appealing to privacy-conscious users and those tired of default browsers treating ads as a platform feature. -

Betterfox
Firefox user.js for optimal privacy and security
Betterfox is an opinionated configuration profile for Mozilla Firefox designed to improve everyday web browsing by making the browser faster, more private, and more secure without relying on external add-ons or third-party code. Rather than being a separate browser, it consists of a curated set of preference tweaks (user.js settings) that users apply to their Firefox profile to optimize performance and harden privacy settings. The project focuses on a minimal-impact, maximum-effect approach, removing unnecessary background services, reducing fingerprinting, and tightening security defaults while trying to keep sites usable. Betterfox recommends pairing these settings with essential extensions like ad blockers and DNS-level protections to achieve a well-rounded browsing experience. Because the preferences are text-based and version controlled, users can review and customize them to meet their own balance of privacy and convenience. -

FastClick
Easy-to-use library to remove click delays on browsers with touch UIs
FastClick is a simple, easy-to-use library for eliminating the 300ms delay between a physical tap and the firing of a click event on mobile browsers. The aim is to make your application feel less laggy and more responsive while avoiding any interference with your current logic. FastClick is developed by FT Labs, part of the Financial Times. Note: As of late 2015 most mobile browsers - notably Chrome and Safari - no longer have a 300ms touch delay, so fastclick offers no benefit on newer browsers, and risks introducing bugs into your application. Consider carefully whether you really need to use it. The library has been deployed as part of the FT Web App. FastClick doesn't attach any listeners on desktop browsers. -
