What's the potential consequence of using an out of date app?
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.
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.
