I have started an open source project to support Chromium + custom patches for adblocking:
https://www.bromite.org/
What is Bromite?
Bromite is Chromium plus ad blocking and privacy enhancements; it started as a port of NoChromo and nowadays adds more privacy-focused patches and is maintained against the latest stable Chromium.
Development & donations
Please join the development on Github for improvements.
Donations are welcome and help supporting development and build server costs!
Download & availability
Bromite is available for download from the Bromite Official website, which points to the Github Releases for all the downloads, and via the official third-party F-Droid repository.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does Bromite support Google Sync, Translate or Data saver?
No. This is not a limitation of Bromite but of all Chromium-based projects in general, as general public is not allowed to use Google's APIs for free unless when using Chrome.
Q. Does Bromite require root?
No.
Q. What is the SystemWebView?
It is the core component of Android for all web page visualizations. For example when you access a new wifi network and need to activate it, that is using the SystemWebView. If you do not know what it is then you do not need to install it.
How to enable DNS-over-HTTPS?
See this wiki page.
Q. Can you add dark mode/some cool themes?
No.
Bromite is about adblocking and privacy.

This version has a yellow tint on the OnePlus 8 only when using Bromite. I've seen other reports of it being a Chrome issue, but just an FYI.
You still prefer it over android system webviewThis version has a yellow tint on the OnePlus 8 only when using Bromite. I've seen other reports of it being a Chrome issue, but just an FYI.
You may create an issue on GitHub, or wait if it's a chromium issue.(to let them fix).This version has a yellow tint on the OnePlus 8 only when using Bromite. I've seen other reports of it being a Chrome issue, but just an FYI.
yes.Is there a way to change the user agent in Bromite? (Without root and without custom ROM).
I don't see how Bromite could violate Chrome's policies since it's based on Chromium. What about all CAF/chromium based browsers? Opera, Brave, Inox, Iridium...
But I think you should change the logo. I created the attached logo if necessary. Released under CC0 1.0 Universal license![]()
What do you mean by "make a Br logo if you can"?
Here are two versions in green. I guess it's better to wait for csagan5's opinion before doing anything else![]()
