## What it is
Bromite is a Chromium fork for Android with a built-in ad-blocking engine and privacy enhancements such as anti-fingerprinting flags, DNS-over-HTTPS, and removal of Play services blobs. It offers a no-clutter browsing experience with minimal UI changes and customizable filter lists.

## Use cases
- browse the web on Android without ads
- block ads and trackers in a mobile browser
- use a Chromium browser without Google Play integration
- enable anti-fingerprinting mitigations while browsing
- use DNS-over-HTTPS with a custom DoH endpoint
- browse always in incognito mode
- remove click-tracking and AMP links from search results

## When to choose
- you want an Android browser with fast, built-in ad blocking
- you need privacy-hardened Chromium without Google services
- you want customizable filter lists and anti-fingerprinting flags

## When to avoid
- you need a browser for desktop platforms (it is Android-only)
- you require the latest Chromium version or frequent updates (development has slowed)
- you need extension support or features requiring Play services integration
