Hello everyone, I’m new here and I’ve got a fairly serious question/problem.
I’ve used Bromite for a long time, and now with the threat of CVE-2023-4863, I can’t help but constantly fear getting screwed over by a malicious image. I’ve tried looking myself but cannot find an answer if bromite is vulnerable to this threat, mostly because the main developer of the browser hasn’t been active for a very long time.
I’d love to switch to another browser but to transfer all my data would require root access, which could damage my pixel 6. So I’m kinda stuck in a jam.
Can anyone please help me?
Ah, I see. Thank you for the swift answer, though I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean by just transferring to Firefox. Bromite is an android browser and does not have a sync function, which prevents me from easily getting to the app data and moving it to a new android browser. If I’m mistaken can you give me a link?
What data in particular are you after pulling from Bromide?
I’ve never used it so not aware of its interface but most browsers allow you to grab your usernames / passwords (tip: it’s a bad idea to store them in a browsers data and a password manager the better route) even if it means doing each one individually if it doesn’t allow mass exporting of data.
But as the above commenters have said using an out of date browser is something to put some time aside to fix. Good luck!
