Dumb question, is it possible to login to your Google account with Bromite or Cromite app? (lemm.ee)

I know it kinda defeats the purpose of using those clients, but for now I need all account stuff synced, bookmarks, open tabs and passwords.

I'm mainly trying them (mostly Cromite, because it is the most updated one) because they still have this feature within the chrome flags:

#darken-websites-checkbox-in-theme

Google got rid of this in recent updates and I use that feature a lot even when I recently discovered it lol.

I know Firefox has better support for this as it has extensions that would do this job better, I'm currently using Iceraven but I don't think it is a perfect solution as of now (I have faced some lag playing videos for example).

Google killed sync via any browser but chrome itself years ago. Afaik, none of the chromium based browsers even show a place to log in for sync at all.

I see, well this is sad, I'll try to not be too sad migrating to FF though.

Vivaldi or Samsung browser have the option to darken browser

Firefox has the extension for that but I found that having it enabled it slows down a lot

What extension did you test?

Dark reader

Otherwise I just noticed that Ms Edge also has that flag (not in public options like the other two browsers)

Hmm, I'm currently testing that extension.... I don't think I have found those slowdowns, but I haven't been looking carefully for that.

I think all those browsers that you mentioned are Chromium based browsers... But if Google does not support sync with the Google account as the other user here pointed out then I see little to no reason to keep using Chrome (that's what I'm using FF nighly right now).

The slowdown only happens on certain websites like amazon with tons of elements. It won't be an issue normally, and for some of those, you can switch the theme to static to improve performance at the cost of eye candy.
