    That’s what is returned by their browser detection tool for Vanadium on graphene.

    Cromite is even more privacy oriented, returning

    Their stats combine ALL versions of chrome (chromium) which would also include things like cromite, degoogled chrome, cromium itself, possibly vivaldi, apps that use webview (doordash, voyager for lemmy, bank apps, etc) might even be included as they are chrome/chromium on android, would all tally for chrome with no differentiation even though some versions are light years apart.

    Cromite/vanadium and chrome are the same browssrs the way chocolate and vanilla are the same ice cream.

    Oh, and to muddle things some more, on Android, viewing using desktop site gives this:

    Browser Name: Chrome

    Is it a desktop device: Yes
