## Cromite (Android)

![Cromite logo](assets/img/browsers/cromite.svg){ align=right }
**Cromite** is a Chromium-based browser with built-in ad blocking, fingerprinting protections, and other [privacy and security enhancements](https://github.com/uazo/cromite/blob/master/docs/FEATURES.md). It is a fork of the discontinued **Bromite** browser.

### Recommended Configuration
These options can be found in :material-menu: → :gear: **Settings****Privacy and security**.
#### Browsing data
- [x] Select **Close all open tabs on exit**
#### Incognito mode
- [x] Select **Open external links in incognito**
#### Security
- [x] Select **Always use secure connections**
This prevents you from unintentionally connecting to a website in plain-text HTTP. HTTP is extremely uncommon nowadays, so this should have little to no impact on your day-to-day browsing.
#### Adblock Plus settings
These options can be found in :material-menu: → :gear: **Settings****Adblock Plus settings**.
Cromite contains a customized version of Adblock Plus with EasyList enabled by default, as well as options to select more filter lists within the **FIlter lists** menu.
Using extra lists will make you stand out from other Cromite users and may also increase attack surface if a malicious rule is added to one of the lists you use.
- [x] (Optional) Select **Enable anti-circumvention and snippets**
This setting adds an additional Adblock Plus list that may increase the effectiveness of Cromite's content blocking. The warnings about standing out and potentially increasing attack surface apply.
#### Legacy Adblock settings
These options can be found in :material-menu: → :gear: **Settings****Legacy Adblock settings**.
- [ ] Uncheck the autoupdate setting
This disables update checks for the unmaintained Bromite adblock filter.
