Ungoogled Chromium Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• 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 / 2 months ago

• Brave is a fork, not a Chromium reskinn

  I would highly recommend the Ungoogled Chromium fork instead: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium Entirely volunteer maintained, there is no for-profit entity behind it looking to do crypto referrals or ad swapping or anything like that. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• How to disable side-panel for right-click search? I just want a new tab!

  There's also "Ungoogled Chromium", a fork of Chromium (the open-source base of Google Chrome), with all the Google-specific features removed, like logging into a Google account, etc. I have not used it so can't give a recommendation, but it should also run all Chrome extensions just as well as Google Chrome.

• Why is Chromium so bad on Linux?

  Technically speaking, there is a project called Ungoogled Chromium which is truly de-googlified. Chromium is heavily integrated with Google sans some closed-source blobs. Source: 11 months ago

• Mozilla stops Firefox fullscreen VPN ads after user outrage

  On KDE, Falkon. On Gnome, "Web". On macOS, Safari may not pass your "non-corporate" requirement, but it's spiritually non-corporate, and functionally "just a browser". It's also wicked fast and extremely light on your resources. On many platforms, "ungoogled-chromium" may satisfy your needs. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Ask HN: What do you want in a browser?

  > What do you want in a browser? Zero telemetry. The recent release of the Mullvad Browser[0] is a godsend, but it's not a Chromium fork. It's based off the Tor Browser Bundle. But if we really need a good Chromium fork, Ungoogled Chromium[1] is a good choice. [0] https://mullvad.net/en/browser [1] - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• It's all just Chromium

  Of an "ungoogled chromium". Ones that ripped their own Google control core out in rebellion against what they saw was unfair. Source: about 1 year ago

• How can I convince my parents to choose privacy?

  Well, you could tell them about other aspects of privacy respecting tools. For example, Bromite (only for android) makes most of those annoying ads go away (also blocks trackers), and as a consequence, uses less data. Plus, it looks just like chrome. Firefox (the desktop version) has bigger fonts which I find easier on the eyes. With the DuckDuckGo Extension, it also blocks ads (and trackers). If they don't like... Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What's the most trustworthy Chromium-based browser?

  I would have preferred they gave Objective 3 higher precedence than Objective 2. Though since I am not a Chromium user I misunderstand the implications of Objective 2. https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium#obj.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• There's just no pleasing Microsoft, apparently

  If you like chrome ungoogle chromium is pretty hard to top. Source: about 1 year ago

• What do I do with all the proprietary garbage I can't just get rid of?

  If you want a separate browser for all of that, I recommend ungoogled chromium. To websites, it is basically default Google Chrome. Nothing should break with it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Does fanfiction.net blocks Firefox and some other browsers?

  I have problems to access fanfiction.net with Firefox or ungoogle-chromium, it says that the page cannot be accessed. It is not 100% reproducible, happens just very often (like 8 of 10 or something) and the same browser can work quite perfectly elsewhere (like here) and the page seems to be accessible by Chrome. Any ideas what's going on? Is there some enforced tracking or something going on? Source: about 1 year ago

• M2 Air lagging in Chrome?

  Brave sucks. Safari on Mac is practically perfect. For situations where I must use a Chromium-based browser, I use https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium. Source: about 1 year ago

• Switch from all Apple apps?

  Ungoogled Chromium (Mac & Linux), much more performant than Firefox; use Chromium Web Store to maintain extensions (ungoogled means ungoogled, no normal Chrome Web Store), and xBrowserSync for bookmarks. I really wish I could just use Safari on Mac though, all I want is bookmark sync (and more/better extensions, but bookmark sync). Source: about 1 year ago

• How do I make a chromium based browser?

  Get the source and compile it. Ungoogled chromium seems like a good base for a privacy browser: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/ As far as how to actually modify it in a meaningful way, idk, there’s probably some obscure documention for it somewhere. You chose probably one of the hardest hobby coding projects, probably on par with LFS and stuff like that. So for something more... Source: about 1 year ago
