Description
Basilisk is a web browser built on the Unified XUL Platform (UXP), showcasing the functionality that closely resembles pre-Servo Firefox. This free and open-source browser utilizes a Firefox-like interface and operates similarly to its predecessor. It leverages the Goanna rendering engine, a derivative of Gecko, while drawing from the Mozilla codebase without incorporating Servo or Rust. Basilisk serves primarily as a reference application to facilitate the ongoing development of the XUL platform it is based on, and it also presents itself as a viable alternative to Firefox. As development software, Basilisk is essentially in a perpetual "beta" phase, which means users may encounter bugs and are advised that it is offered in its current state with possible flaws. Furthermore, like other projects within the open-source community, it is provided without any guarantees or assurances regarding its suitability for any specific use case, highlighting the importance of user discretion. This aspect of the software reinforces the collaborative nature of its development, inviting contributions and feedback from the community.
Description
Bromite is a modified version of Chromium that focuses on ad blocking and improved privacy, empowering users to reclaim their browsing experience. Its primary aim is to deliver a streamlined browsing interface devoid of intrusive privacy features while incorporating a rapid ad-blocking engine. To reinforce the concept of a browser free from advertisements, it employs minimal user interface changes. All modifications made to Bromite are released under the GNU/GPL v3 license, allowing other open-source initiatives to benefit from its enhancements. This browser is exclusively compatible with Android Lollipop (version 5.0, API level 21) and newer versions. Users can customize ad-block filters with their own URLs, eliminate click-tracking and AMP from search results, and enjoy DNS-over-HTTPS support through any legitimate IETF DoH endpoint. It features a perpetually active incognito mode, permanently disables all field trials, and deactivates smart search by default while enabling web searches from incognito sessions. Additionally, it maintains visibility for cookies, JavaScript, and ads site settings and removes binary blobs related to Play integration, while also employing Control Flow Integrity (CFI) across all architectures, with the exception of x86. This dedication to user privacy and performance positions Bromite as a powerful alternative for those seeking a more secure browsing experience on mobile devices.
