UR-Browser Reviews

  1. UR browser behaves like malware--I want to give it zero stars, but this site won't let me...

    Brave is getting heavy, so I decided to try out UR. It kept accessing sites that my antivirus was identifying as unsafe. It wouldn't let me set things the way I like them to be set. It wouldn't let me set up my download manager correctly. In short it was a disaster. Also it wasn't that light. It was about as heavy as my Brave browser, so I gave up and went back to brave.

Ungoogled Chromium strips Google components, plugins, and services from the source code, preventing the browser from directly communicating with Google's servers.

  • Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
    Cromite[0] is the best on Android, it's a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium. Cromite has a desktop build, but it's a bit more experimental than the mobile build, so you can use Ungoogled Chromium[1] instead. Ungoogled is also a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium. Check the beta flags to enable some more interesting features like getClientRect anti-fingerprinting... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
