What's the potential consequence of using an out of date app?
New security exploits are discovered daily. A browser without updates can't protect your device from a malicious site. As for Bromite, just use the fork called Cromite which is updated.
I use the website you linked occasionally, but recommending something from 2022 is hazardous when it's a browser. Over 1 year of security issues, unpatched?
AlternativeTo needs to obliterate recommendations for insecure products if they go inactive. Some things can be fine if discontinued, but others cannot.
