Project was abandoned like multiple years ago now. Cromite is a fork by one of the contributors and is better than Bromite ever was.

Doesnt come with proper fingerprinting protections or flag hardening. I am not saying ungoogled Chromium is bad, just not a proper replacement for hardened chromium browsers like Cromite or Brave. Ungoogled Chromium is a drop in replacement for Chrome, so it does nearly everything possible to stick with defaults (sans any google connections)

While I agree it would be nice, Flatpak weakens the Chromium sandbox by stopping proper per site isolation. Chromium in Flatpak relies on the zypak server in place of proper strict isolation.

GOS recommends against putting any app that you want notifications from inside the private space. That said, I did the same thing.

You could enable advanced mode I uBlock and then disable “3rd party” in the uBlock popup. Then allow list the few sites you want to see content from.

It is source available, not open source.

Swappa

Understandable. The name is a play on the Bromite, which is the dead project Cromite forked from.

Officially from the Tor Project there is also oniux. From the blog, “a small command-line utility providing Tor network isolation for third-party applications using Linux namespaces”.

Android private spaces dont share the same network namespace, meaning a VPN in the main profile wouldn’t effect anything inside the private space.

That will be even more susceptible to malware because Linux is easier to hack than iOS or Android. Linux has a weak threat model against malicious software.

If all you need is a simple note taking app, I recommend Notesnook. It is free and open source and offers E2EE cloud syncing. That is what I used as a Google keep alternative. Silverbullet is good, but may be too feature-full for something as simple as a Keep replacement.
