Bromite author here (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bromite.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bromite.org</a> ); I was contacted some time ago about the possibility to maintain a modified version of Bromite with a customised &#x2F;e&#x2F; home page and list of search engines. Nothing particularly murky there, but after some Q&#x2F;A I did not want to proceed with this type of cross-branding because fundamentally I do not want Bromite to be using or be affiliated with any cloud service and I concluded that &#x2F;e&#x2F; invites users to swap Google for &#x2F;e&#x2F; as a cloud services provider.<p>Now to the reason why I am commenting here: there is no GPL violation for the patches used in their &#x2F;e&#x2F; browser but I find it a bit disappointing that nowhere it is mentioned that the browser is a complete Bromite build, minus the logo and renamed to &#x27;&#x2F;e&#x2F; Browser&#x27;.<p>Most users are assuming that it is a Chromium fork developed by &#x2F;e&#x2F; and will never reach the Bromite open source project, which is basically the way the project is kept alive.
