I use it because it has a built in adblocker, and well it just works.

There is some crypto bullfuck and AI shit you can easily opt out off, and some talk about some CEO making homophobic comments.

    I used Cromite for a long time. Then one update the author added a 60 Hz refresh rate cap to help with avoiding fingerprinting with no way to turn it off. It now has an option, but for about a month it didn’t; the author fought it. The janky scrolling was annoying enough to make me stop using Cromite (and I moved to Brave, ironically). I’d switch back but I’m lazy.

      Yeah, Cromite is definitely a “second browser” to keep around for shopping and such, not my primary one. Its opinionated development is exactly why is so good in that niche, but it also breaks a few sites and features.

      In that spirit… why only use only one browser? You can keep Brave installed.
