Bromure Web 3.6.1 — OpenVPN, native scrolling, and 60 fps fullscreen video

Bromure Web 3.6.1 closes the gap between bulletproof isolation and a browser that actually feels native. Trackpad scrolling is now pixel-precise with real momentum, fullscreen video holds a steady 60 fps, and a configurable User-Agent stops your sessions from announcing the Linux VM underneath. OpenVPN joins WARP, WireGuard, and IKEv2 as a fourth per-profile tunnel, Bromure Web and Bromure Agentic Coding can finally run side by side, and networking is tougher on locked-down corporate paths. Free and open source, on Apple Silicon.

Every Bromure session runs inside a disposable virtual machine — that's the whole point, and it's what keeps ransomware, zero-days, and credential theft sealed away from your Mac. The catch has always been the tells: scrolling that moved in coarse, quantized clicks; fullscreen video that stuttered; a User-Agent that quietly announced Linux to every site you visited. 3.6.1 is about erasing those tells. Browsing should feel exactly like your Mac — while staying locked inside a VM your Mac can't touch.

New

  • OpenVPN support — a fourth way out. OpenVPN is now Bromure's fourth VPN mode, alongside WARP, WireGuard, and IKEv2. In a profile's VPN & Ads tab, import a .ovpn config, set a username and password — the password is stored in your macOS Keychain, never in the VM — and toggle connect-on-startup so the tunnel is up before the first page loads.
  • A User-Agent that stops outing the VM. A new per-profile User-Agent setting under Settings → Privacy & Safety. By default, sessions now present as stock Chrome on macOS — sites read Macintosh instead of leaking the Linux VM underneath, while the Chrome version stays accurate so nothing looks spoofed. Need something specific? Set a custom value and Bromure sends it verbatim.
  • Native precision scrolling. Trackpad scrolling is now pixel-precise, with real momentum and flick — replacing the coarse, quantized wheel "clicks" that were the single most VM-feeling part of browsing. It's the kind of detail you only notice once it's gone.

Improvements

  • Fullscreen video that actually hits 60 fps. Default vCPU allocation is no longer tied to a VM's memory, so every session gets the cores it needs. In our testing, fullscreen YouTube at 1080p60 went from ~43 fps with 56% of frames dropped to a rock-steady 60 — and 1440p60 holds 60 fps too.
  • Run Bromure Web and Bromure Agentic Coding at the same time. Each app's NAT network now sits on its own subnet, fixing an IP collision that could knock one VM offline when both ran in NAT mode. Browse and code in parallel, no tug-of-war.
  • More resilient networking. The default VM NIC MTU drops to 1280 — the IPv6 minimum — so connections survive VPNs and nested tunnels that quietly blackhole larger packets.

Fixed

  • Native tabs polish. Cleared up a handful of usability rough edges in native tabs.
  • Profile colors are yours to reuse. Colors are no longer exclusive to a single profile — any color can be used by any number of profiles, and the full palette is always available.
