Lets make it happen
It is that app can reach to a wider audience but it is still kept to the only enthusiast and extremely privacy geeks but privacy is not about a signle person it is about all i will do it tomorrow.

It is extremely unlikely that a Chromium browser will land on official F-Droid repos due to the following

  • contains proprietary blobs by default, need to be patched out and that patch is MASSIVE
  • utilizes many hundred prebuilt binaries for compiling
  • source download is over 100GB
  • the compile eats cpu cores more than Count von Count can keep up with

If one wants the various Chromium-based browsers one could install FFUpdater and get them that way I suppose.

personal suggestion:
research their alternate system webview and apply depending on your usecase

they offer auto-updates within the browser itself–under settings.

There’s always Brave Browser as well. It’s open source. And if you wanted auto updates you can make a tasker plugin to auto mate it.

I want to add bromite in default fdroid store is there a way to do that. As like mull now included in the default i wish to have bromite also on the platform.

Bromite has its own dedicated f-droid repository from which it can be installed and updated, i don’t think it’s possible, currently, to add chromium based browsers in the official repo mainly because of the time and complexity to run the build.

You can just continue on this.

I really don’t know what is the issue.

Paste the below URL in …F-droid–settings–Repositories–plus sign and add the below url…then refresh and search bromite as usual in fdroid and u will be able to find it and download😇

I know that.i aaked for the inclusion of the app in default repo.

How trusted that is have anyone looked into the codes i didn’t find anything in the github there is no code at all so can anyone know about that is this how it builds and how trusted it as i was a brave and firefox user but now i want to switch from brave.

Bromite is a nice project.

No actually i did not find the code in github i wget that it just contains some instructions not much code so does anyone verified. And as there is no middle man involved as fdroid don’t build that so no point of checking is there.

The code is there: https://github.com/bromite/bromite/tree/master/build/patches

It is a set of patches that apply on top of the Chromium source code.
