Describe the solution you would like

uazo, could you please concider submiting the cromite browser to the Accrescent app store?

What is Accresent?; Accresent is an Android app store focused on security, privacy, and usability.

I personally think this app would fit nicely in there, but it will probebly take a bit of work as Accrescent wont accept apps that auto update.

Describe alternatives you have considered

(not asking to submit the cromite browser to the Accresent app store?)

I do not understand the advantage of this. placing cromite in the play store is more than enough. for everyone else there is fdroid or ffupdater or similar.

do they (does he :) do any kind of security analysis on the apps other than the trivial ones included in the documentation? that would be different, but I did not see anything in your documentation. and moreover, it would be pointless, since any security issues would be handled (and paid for) by google.

@DeanLemans, I really don't understand, can you explain to me the meaning of the request?

[mathfelin]

it would be better to ask to add the chromite in the Altstore, which is an independent Apple store than others, in addition to the F-droid, which is more than enough until the Play Store at most.
