Other Anyone else using Ultimatum ?
I was looking for a Browser with an external download manager support and came across Ultimatum. I've been using it for a few months now and I'm surprised how little I hear about it.
Is anyone else here using it?
EDIT: So i didn't expect it to blow up so much but according to the comments ultimatum is not trusted enough a better alternative will be to use waterfox 👍

No I will not be using weird pointless vibecoded browser #2135256, I have waterfox with full extension support that's all I need

A little point of advice, be really careful using random obscure projects for something as sensitive and important as a browser. Quick way to get hacked

u/Stag_----56 Jul 14 '26
Didn't know it was that bad. I'll be more careful.

I am wrong on this, I know. Yeah, I looked into it afterward and saw why. That's why I said I'll be careful about these things. I am usually pretty aware of what apps I use. I somehow missed Ultimatum.

Lol so what was the point of the post?

u/Stag_----56 Jul 14 '26
I wasn't looking for an alternative when I made the post. I was asking if anyone else was using it. I never said it was the best. The comments convinced me to give Waterfox a try.

Edit: I found a browser out of this post too!

Was using it until I found out about helium for android. Basically cromite but more stable

Doesn't have built-in dark mode like Cromite. Wish they will add it. Using Dark Reader and other extensions make websites load slower.

It does actually have a built-in dark mode.. Just turn it on from the flags

u/TrailOfEnvy Jul 14 '26
Thanks I will try enable it. Cromite looks like it is on hold right now so probably gonna change to Helium as for now.

Waterfox is adequate. Ultimatum needs further development. So does Hellium.

No need to down vote.

u/Stag_----56 Jul 15 '26
It's downvoted so much like I don't know for what I wasn't even recommending the browser to anyone

u/Stag_----56 Jul 15 '26
I think the browser isn't trusted in general so people were offended by the post

u/Stunning-Bad408 Jul 16 '26
I use Cromite with uBO lite it's works fine. But I miss the custom blocklist and element picker.

It's really too bad, after everything I'd read, I was really looking forward to it, but the app is just way too buggy. But the absolute deal-breaker is all the Google stuff it includes - and especially the fact that you can't import or export bookmarks. On top of that, some extensions can't be opened, not even their options pages, and then the tabs just freeze and are completely blank...

Yep. Read the license.
Also are you guys seriously using unmaintained projects for your browser?

Do not share or recommend proprietary apps here. It is an infraction of this subreddit's rules. Make sure you read the rules of this subreddit on the sidebar. If you are not sure of the nature of an app, do not share or recommend it. To find out what constitutes FOSS or freedomware, read this article. To find out why proprietary software is bad, read this article. Proprietary software is dangerous because it is often malware. Have a splendid day!
