My mini-research:

• it uses google search engine as default
• it takes adblocking filters from its website (https://bromite.org/filters/filters.dat)
• makes a few DNS-requests to bookmarks on the homepage: bromite.org, chromium.org, eff.org, libera.chat.
• downloads probably adblock list from bromite.org (only on first startup?). It downloaded 2,3 MB.
• makes a few requests to bromite.org for something else

But it has it own F-Droid repo, looks smooth like default chrome browser and has built-in adblock.

I recommend open source PCAPdroid for MITM check. It don't need root, because it creates VPN.

Bromite can be setup (by going through the graphical settings) to not make any weird connections.

Good app for testing connections:
