> Bromite seems like its sticking around, fortunately. Only barely, unfortunately. I've since moved to Vanadium for anything untrusted and/or critical. It's still missing some features I'll enjoy seeing added, but it's improved considerably lately.

  Oh dear, you are right. Last commit was in January. Thorium was comatose for awhile but come back, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

  Oh actually I was mistaken, looks like dev builds are still up here: https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools/releases/ https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools/releases/ I do not like Brave's business model (replacing web ads with their own, even setting the crypto thing aside), but I will check out your link if Bromite fizzles out.
