In their own words
Cromite
Cromite is a free, open-source Chromium fork based on Bromite, available for Android, Linux and Windows. Its modified Adblock Plus engine adds DNS CNAME support and blocks WebSockets, WebTransport URLs and service worker fetches. Privacy measures include API restrictions, canvas and audio mitigations, and cookie partitioning by top-frame domain. Network prediction features such as DNS and page prefetching are disabled by default and cannot be reactivated. Cromite also disables Google Sync, browser sign-in, Translate, metrics reporting, component updates and several other Google integrations. Listed security defaults include StrictOriginIsolation, SitePerProcess, secure DNS-over-HTTPS and Certificate Transparency; JavaScript JIT is off by default. The maker says anti-fingerprinting protections are not comprehensive and does not consider Cromite suitable for journalists or people living under freedom restrictions. It does not support DRM media or extensions on Android. Android builds are available for ARM, ARM64 and x86, while Windows and Linux builds are 64-bit. The project directs issues and discussion to GitHub.
Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox is a free, open-source web browser that uses the Gecko engine. It is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and as a browser extension, and its download page lists availability in more than 90 languages. Standard tracking protection and built-in ad blocking are included. Total Cookie Protection isolates cookies so they cannot follow users between websites, while Tab Groups organize open tabs by project, mood, or task. A Mozilla account can sync bookmarks, passwords, and open tabs across devices. Firefox also offers access to multiple AI chatbots in one place, letting users choose whether to use them. Thousands of free extensions are available through addons.mozilla.org. Mozilla’s privacy notice says browsing history, form data, temporary files, and cookies are processed on the device unless stated otherwise. Automated translation and PDF alt-text suggestions use downloaded language models locally; Firefox says those features do not send page content, PDFs, images, or tab URLs to Mozilla. Firefox is listed at free.
