de pronto = de repente
"De repente" may be an itsy bitty more colloquial because there is an exact proper formal adverb with the same origin: repentinamente "De pronto" isn't formal or informal. Quote:
Por lo pronto ... = sort of {"for the time being" but "short time" / "until it changes" / "a new element is needed for it to change"} with touches of "as far as we know".
