The Bromite project has been inactive for the last 9 months or so. Today I found this fork of Bromite that’s well maintained and seems to work flawlessly. Hope it helps others who were looking for a replacement.
Cool. I hope it is released on Play Store if it is possible. If brave & kiwi can be released, I’m sure they can also release without issue.
It’s not free to publish apps on the Play Store. And I’m not sure if this is still the case today, but I recall of Google forcing to include their libraries on apps published there.
Chromium already does use tons of Google libs already underneath. The fees is a fair point though. But it’s one time fees right? I think the community can raise that much money. Heck even I would be willing to donate a part of they are willing to publish on Play Store.
I don’t think they want to. I don’t recall why, but you can probably find a discussions about this easily.
It’s a bummer. If the app was good then I would have replaced Brave with it on my parent’s devices.
Why do you care whether it’s on the play store or not?
I was looking to replace Brave on my Mom’s phone, and having it on play store and auto-update, I woulnd’t have to worry much.
