I've seen FFUpdater recommended a couple of times, but I'm unsure why you would need this updater if youve installed your browser from F-droid and update your apps regularly. Does FFUpdater do anything special?

I just installed it to have a look for myself - there are a couple of browsers available to download through FFUpdater, that aren't available from F-droid (Iceraven and bromite, maybe others too, I didn't check them all), so that's another reason for installing FFUpdater, if you want to try those.

Bromite is dead. Cromite replaced it.

Cromite isn't included in FFUpdater, though, but it does mention that bromite is no longer maintained.
