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. -

It aims to provide a browsing experience similar to Google Chrome in terms of compatibility with web apps and extensions but injects user-centric changes like privacy controls enabled by default, content filtering, and interface tweaks that appeal to advanced users. Thorium often includes enhancements such as Global Privacy Control support, improved media controls, and UI responsiveness tweaks that elevate everyday browsing. The Windows variant supplies installers and portable builds so users can deploy it easily on desktops without much configuration. It continues a tradition of community-driven browser forks that balance performance, privacy, and usability outside mainstream vendor ecosystems. -

The browser is available across macOS, Linux, and Windows, each version built from a fully open source pipeline for reproducibility and trust. Development focuses on maintaining compatibility with modern web standards while decoupling Chromium from its Google dependencies and services. -

DB Browser for SQLite
The DB Browser for SQLite
DB Browser for SQLite (DB4S) is a high quality, visual, open source tool to create, design, and edit database files compatible with SQLite. DB4S is for users and developers who want to create, search, and edit databases. DB4S uses a familiar spreadsheet-like interface, and complicated SQL commands do not have to be learned. This program is not a visual shell for the sqlite command line tool, and does not require familiarity with SQL commands. It is a tool to be used by both developers and end users, and must remain as simple to use as possible in order to achieve these goals. Import and export records as text, import and export tables from/to CSV files, import and export databases from/to SQL dump files, issue SQL queries and inspect the results, examine a log of all SQL commands issued by the application, plot simple graphs based on table or query data. -

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. -

Selenium
Browser automation framework and ecosystem
Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well. If you want to create robust, browser-based regression automation suites and tests, scale and distribute scripts across many environments, then you want to use Selenium WebDriver, a collection of language specific bindings to drive a browser - the way it is meant to be driven. If you want to create quick bug reproduction scripts, create scripts to aid in automation-aided exploratory testing, then you want to use Selenium IDE; a Chrome and Firefox add-on that will do simple record-and-playback of interactions with the browser. If you want to scale by distributing and running tests on several machines and manage multiple environments from a central point. -

Ungoogled Chromium Windows
Windows packaging for ungoogled-chromium
Ungoogled Chromium Windows is the Windows build configuration and tooling for Ungoogled Chromium, a fork of the Chromium browser that removes Google-specific services, tracking, and invasive integrations to deliver a more privacy-respectful, user-controlled web experience on Microsoft platforms. This project specifically targets the Windows ecosystem, supplying build scripts, patches, and configuration files necessary to compile Chromium without telemetry, alternate error reporting, Google update mechanisms, built-in Google APIs, and other remote-service dependencies commonly embedded in stock builds. Users who need a modern browser engine with wide compatibility but without Google branding or background services can leverage this repository to produce Windows installers or portable builds that respect local privacy preferences. -

Don't waste your time with compliance. Universal Bypass circumvents annoying link shorteners. Universal Bypass bypasses templates that are used on thousands of domains and it would be impossible for me to keep a complete list of domains that are bypassed. You would have to get a new Universal Bypass version and accept its new permissions for each new bypass. Custom Bypasses would be pretty pointless if you could only create them for sites that are already bypassed. Also known in the options as "Give and take the destinations of unbypassable shorteners.", this feature exists to bypass a respectable amount of link shorteners using CAPTCHAs and other forms of backend validation to make sure you've actually waited before you can proceed to the target link, to share this target with other Universal Bypass users, who come across the same link in the future, so they can proceed to the target immediately.

geckodriver
WebDriver for Firefox
geckodriver is an implementation of WebDriver, and WebDriver can be used for widely different purposes. How you invoke geckodriver largely depends on your use case. If you are using geckodriver through Selenium, you must ensure that you have version 3.11 or greater. Because geckodriver implements the W3C WebDriver standard and not the same Selenium wire protocol older drivers are using, you may experience incompatibilities and migration problems when making the switch from FirefoxDriver to geckodriver. Generally speaking, Selenium 3 enabled geckodriver as the default WebDriver implementation for Firefox. With the release of Firefox 47, FirefoxDriver had to be discontinued for its lack of support for the new multi-processing architecture in Gecko. Since geckodriver is a separate HTTP server that is a complete remote end implementation of WebDriver, it is possible to avoid using the Selenium remote server if you have no requirements to distribute processes across a matrix of systems. -

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. -

FlareSolverr
Proxy server to bypass Cloudflare protection
FlareSolverr is a proxy server to bypass Cloudflare and DDoS-GUARD protection. FlareSolverr starts a proxy server, and it waits for user requests in an idle state using few resources. When some request arrives, it uses puppeteer with the stealth plugin to create a headless browser (Firefox). It opens the URL with user parameters and waits until the Cloudflare challenge is solved (or timeout). The HTML code and the cookies are sent back to the user, and those cookies can be used to bypass Cloudflare using other HTTP clients. Web browsers consume a lot of memory. If you are running FlareSolverr on a machine with few RAM, do not make many requests at once. With each request, a new browser is launched. It is also possible to use a permanent session. However, if you use sessions, you should make sure to close them as soon as you are done using them. It is recommended to install using a Docker container because the project depends on an external browser that is already included. -

Tamper Dev
Extension that allows you to intercept and edit HTTP/HTTPS requests
If you are a developer, you can use Tamper Dev to debug your websites, or if you are a pentester, you can use it to search for security vulnerabilities by inspecting the HTTP traffic from your browser. Unlike most other extensions, Tamper Dev allows you to intercept, inspect and modify the requests before they are sent to the server. This extension provides functionality similar to Burp Proxy, MITM Proxy, OWASP ZAP, Tamper Data, and Postman Proxy, but without the need of additional software, with full support of HTTPS connections, and trivial to set-up (just install).
