Are any of those official successors?

Just about any defunct online service sees a dozen knockoffs of even more questionable quality than the original (for those into manga, think what happened to the site batoto after being sold). But it still remains that if you go to omegle.com, you get the defunct page and an explanation. Typing it into search engines did give exactly one that I know is legitimately a chatting service (ome.tv), but also are trying to act as if they are the original sites, some seemingly using templates and pointing to different apps to direct download their apks and the like.

I think suggesting they’re the same as the original (which was grimy, and full of sex pests, but the site itself didn’t pose such blatant infosec issues) is disingenuous imo

Gramps, they shut down 2 years ago

would love to have an excuse to give even more ludicrous amounts of taxpayers dollars to military contractors

The idea that anyone would need an excuse to give military contractors infinite money in this country is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day.
