Github shows the same: Last commit 5 months ago. Funnily enough, the main dev's last comment was "Nobody quit anything" right after never showing up again.
Uazo, a collaborator of the project, seems to try to bring the project back alive. Even the /e/ Foundation is looking to support his work in order to keep bromite going.
For the future: if possible, consider the bus factor when choosing software:
What happens if <Developer> gets hit by a bus?
Fennec is a good alternative.
Yeah I've been using Fennec for ages and it works great.
Yep, abandoned. I've just been using vanadium on graphene os.
Get off of bromite asap, theres a few zero days that haven't been patched.
Discussion about that is here: https://github.com/bromite/bromite/issues/2610
Also Carl commented here a month ago: https://github.com/bromite/bromite/pull/2561#issuecomment-1557577624
I use iceraven. It's FOSS and supports extensions, so I use ublock origin, noscript, privacy badger and I don't care about cookies. Basically the best browser you can get.
There is someone who has been keeping a fork of it alive: https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools
Go for Kiwi Next browser. Its being maintained.
I had the same issue recently, since sometimes you need a chromium-based browser. After some research, I decided to opt for Mulch. It is available on F-Droid through DivestOS repo just as Mull (my main browser).
