      Have you tried Cromite? Its forked from Bromite by one of the original developers, except kept up to date and actively maintained, plus improved constantly, etc.

        Can’t use it as I have a 32bit phone and the dev refuses to provide a 32bit binary (and won’t explain why, referring to some nonexistent past discussion)

          https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools/issues/59

          issue poster: if it’s possible for you, to release 32-bit build

          uazo: no, see #41

          https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools/issues/41

          issue poster: can you please also build arm-v7 version of current Bromite?

          uazo: no, sorry. my current build system does not allow this due to an issue in sysbox

          Edit: also:

          https://github.com/uazo/cromite/issues/146

          uazo: sysbox does not support 32-bit applications in 64-bit containers. the build without it works (as I think you did), but my server runs with sysbox.

            Not for a while, I have an oldish Motorola with Android 9, probably one of the last phones with 32b OS

            (Don’t anyone dare tell me to “upgrade”)

              Huh didn’t realize that would’ve come with 32 bit so recently. I ran a z2 force up until about 2 years ago when it stopped holding a charge. Those old Motorolas were great phones, but I haven’t found anything in their recent line that interested me. Ended up going with a Pixel 6 and then a 7 pro, my dad needed an update from his z2 force and it was cheaper if I just gave him mine and upgraded. Haven’t had any issues with the pixels, except for my sister dropping her 2xl and breaking the screen. Anything you get eventually though get unlocked. Tensor has a bunch of custom roms now so anything you upgrade will last for a while.

                Well this was a 150 € phone when new so that’s a pretty different category than what you’re looking at. I wouldn’t be surprised if 32b was still a thing in the cheap Chinese phones.

                If I ever get a chance to replace it, it will be extremely tough because it has a bunch of things which are indispensable for me that newer models simply don’t have.

                    Screen with no holes, physical dual SIM cards and mSD card, headphone jack, somewhat trustworthy manufacturer with no ads and bloat, easily unlockable bootloader. There should still be one German-made phone that still has all that and some more, if it still exists, although if I ever get to getting a new phone we’ll probably all be using brain implants so it may all be moot by that point. Don’t worry about it, I’m not looking for recommendations or anything, I know everyone thinks my demands are crazy.

          Ah, that’s unfortunate. Then yeah, I guess your best bet is to stick to a Firefox based browser (that’s my recommendation personally, I use Mull), or if you still need Chromium, I think Brave is the best option atm.

            I only use Bromite at this point for some streaming stuff which don’t work so well on FF based browsers, and Mulch always pauses playback when minimised… Bloody annoying. I didn’t want to use Brave, but I guess I might have to try it.
