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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

Waterfox
Privacy browser built for users who value customization & control
Waterfox is a free, open-source web browser and fork of Mozilla Firefox that’s built for users who prioritize privacy, performance, and customizability while still maintaining compatibility with modern web standards and extensions. It began as a 64-bit-focused fork and has grown into a full-featured browser available on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, making it a versatile alternative to mainstream browsers. Waterfox removes or disables much of Firefox’s telemetry and unnecessary data collection by default, giving users greater control over what is shared with third parties while still supporting classic and modern add-ons. The project emphasizes speed and efficiency through optimizations and choice, letting users tweak settings or install favored extensions without being locked into ecosystem constraints. Because it’s open source and actively developed by the community, new features, security updates, and performance improvements arrive regularly to align with web standards. -

Gradle Play Publisher
GPP is Android's unofficial release automation Gradle Plugin
Gradle Play Publisher (GPP) is Android's unofficial release automation Gradle Plugin. It can do anything from building, uploading, and then promoting your App Bundle or APK to publishing app listings and other metadata. The first APK or App Bundle needs to be uploaded via the Google Play Console because registering the app with the Play Store cannot be done using the Play Developer API. For all subsequent uploads and changes, GPP may be used. To successfully upload apps to the Play Store, they must be signed with your developer key. Make sure you have a valid signing configuration. After you've gone through the Service Account setup, you should have a JSON file with your private key. GPP supports uploading both the App Bundle and APK. Once uploaded, GPP also supports promoting those artifacts to different tracks. -
