Creates this thread so we can talk about ungoogled-chromium.

I started playing a bit with ungoogled-chromium a few weeks ago. Think it’s okay!

For those of you who do not know, it is a stripped Chromium on most things from Google so it works a little differently than the usual Chromium. For example, extension is a little harder to install, but everything goes!

Here are some good to have links to ungoogled-chromium:

https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-wiki/faq

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

I have tested ungoogled-chromium and it is silent and does not call home to anyone like many other browsers.

Just a heads up, Google will soon be allowing use of their private API’s only on proprietary Chrome. Won’t matter for privacy oriented users, but will most likely cause problems for regular internet consumers.

The Chaotic AUR for it is back up. A lot quicker then building it. A LOT QUICKER :joy:

I didn’t get AppImage to work on Ubuntu 20.04.1. When I tested. It started, but nothing more. I haven’t tested it on EOS or Arch.

Well, that is the thing we were withholding from you. From March this forum will be only accessible with Google Chrome or through Facebook… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
