Tor Browser
Tor Browser is a fork of the Firefox browser that enables users to browse the internet anonymously by relaying their traffic through a network of three randomly selected nodes. It employs multiple layers of encryption, using the Tor protocol to secure data at each hop, thereby defending against surveillance, tracking, and censorship.

Vanadium
Vanadium is a security-hardened variant of Chromium that serves as both a standard browser and WebView for GrapheneOS, leveraging the OS's existing hardening and compatibility modifications. This approach allows Vanadium to utilize GrapheneOS's enhanced security features without needing to reinvent them, as seen with its reliance on the OS's hardened memory allocation.
Cromite
Cromite is a Chromium fork with built-in ad-blocking. Its goals include minimizing features that could track user behavior, reducing integration with the manufacturer, preserving valuable research from Bromite, and encouraging collaboration with other open-source browsers for better integration into the Chromium ecosystem.
