I’ve used this in the past to get ungoogled-chromium on Linux.

https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/releases/archlinux/87.0.4280.88-1

For personal use, I prefer vivaldi due to its customisation and neat little features. If I have issues with it, I try waterfox. For any dev stuff or pentesting I use firefox.

64

Firefox, Plasmafox and elinks.

If you need clean/pure Chromium, get it from here. By the way, it is not buggy. :slight_smile:

67

to be fair, one could consider ungoogled chromium a clean version already of sorts as it removes chromiums connections to google. i.e. cleaned

68

The link I gave is from the Chromium Org, the team, who makes the Chromium browser, so it is the purest of the crowd. Ungoogling is something sort of political. :slight_smile:

By the way, no one is updating MS Edge in AUR, so downloaded the .deb package, extracted it and replaced the contents of /opt/microsoft/msedge-dev, so now I have Version 89.0.752.1 (Official build) dev (64-bit)

^^ The same can be done with the Chromium browser from Chromium Org. Just download, extract and replace the contents, say once a week. You’d have the newest Chromium browser.

I use Firefox with ublock-origin and some strict settings! Works perfect for me and i don’t need something else for my personal use! :smiley:

but sometimes i need to test web apps on other browsers like … :neutral_face: (I refuse to write their name cause i hate them :face_vomiting:)

look, we all know all the corps arent exactly the nicest, mozilla included, but they are still the least evil compared to any other.
mostly because of you know, their browser being open source and configurable enough to let you do whatever you want, unlike chromium.

plus not choosing mozilla essentially means supporting browser mono culture, willingly or not.

LibreWolf

  • A fork of Firefox, focused on privacy, security and freedom.
  • ublock origin pre-installed
  • Main dev explicitly stated that he couldn’t care less of what, why or who thinks about anything, but if there will be ANY censorship, suppression or manipulation algorithm injected in Mozilla’s code - he will remove it. As long as Mozilla stays open-source it’s a good news :slight_smile:

So this is my new choice, love the attitude towards uncompromised freedom and privacy :+1:

AUR

  • librewolf-bin
    It’s provided by devs, so if you trust them it’s safe as long as it’s same maintainer and PKGBUILD diff doesn’t inject something fishy on update.

  • librewolf
    to compile from source.

Chat on Gitter | source code on GitLab

btw, Acknowledgements section in docs is hilariously truthful :laughing:

Thanks:

  • The Mozilla team for their work on Firefox
  • The Mozilla team for *ahem* making this project necessary

Since i’m starting to test it myself, what was those sites, i wonder?

Perhaps you need to relax some cookie policies in settings or something, coz by defaults it’s very hardcore and takes no chances :upside_down_face:

76

i testet it every few weeks or so, last time like 2months ago? one?
i always tried to change some things other than config cause im a dumb dumb)iirc correctly they implement some ghacks into it as well, like in total i think its several hundred config changes by default.

No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default.
User settings updates — We keep up with gHacks-user.js and pyllyukko’s user.js
Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions.

Indeed they do, there are a lot of discussions in GitLab constantly about what to add / remove too

Sorry for not mentioning it first for those who doesn’t know, compiling stuff like Firefox source or Wine is NOT fun :sweat_smile:

In case you don’t want to compile for hours use precompiled -bin package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/librewolf-bin/

I am using a custom userChrome.css file, which you can find on my GitLab. Feel free to use it!
