Cons
Con Still contains spyware
Default homepage is spyware and searches are enabled by default.
Con Big target for hackers
Bromite is a big target for hackers because it's a Chromium fork.
Con Not secure
Bromite lacks ad blocking and other privacy protecting features.
Con Eats up battery life
Because it's very fast, which puts pressure on the RAM & hence ultimately on battery.
Con Bromite = Google Chrome
It uses Chrome for the query.
Con Unable to block Verizon media trackers
Con Lags and freezes
Something needs to be done about it.
Con Has Yahoo as its default search engine
Which is quite ironic for this "privacy" browser with Verizon Media.
Con Lacks tracker blocking features on websites you visit
Con Same security holes as Yahoo
Cake uses the same browser as Yahoo, meaning that it has the same security holes as Yahoo. Yahoo is also a big target for hackers, and a web page that will hack Yahoo also will hack cake.
Con Dumbed down its latest versions
Before, Cake almost felt like DuckDuckGo. Now it's dumbed down, it almost feels like Chrome/Chromium. For example, it's still not secure on websites you visit.
Con Has odd behavior
When you leave the app and go back in, it lets you go back to the top of the page, rather than where you are.
Con Mobile-only
Cake is currently available on mobile only. Due to the screen size, cake is not available on windows, linux, etc.
Con Depends on Yahoo
Since it's based on Yahoo.
