# F.A.Q.
|
|
|
|
## Does Google Sync work?
|
|
No.
|
|
This is not a limitation of Bromite but of all Chromium-based projects in general, as general public is not allowed to use Google's APIs for free unless when using Chrome.
|
|
|
|
# Releases
|
|
|
|
A build server goes through the very lengthy build operation and then new versions are available in this project as [releases](https://github.com/bromite/bromite/releases).
|
|
|
|
Each tag corresponds to a Chromium release tag.
|
|
|
|
# How to build
|
|
|
|
The [bromite main repository](https://github.com/bromite/bromite) contains tags for each corresponding Chromium release (see https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git).
|
|
|
|
Please refer to [official Chromium build documentation](https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/get-the-code) to get started on how to build Chromium; if you can build Chromium for Android, you can build Bromite.
