when icu or re2 or whatever get updated, ungoogled chromium does not stop launching? In other words, make it so it does not rely on system installation of re2 or icu or anything it needs a specific version of
In that case why not try the flatpak version of ungoogled chromium? A big advantage of building programs that link to your system libraries is to keep both the programs themselves and the libraries up-to-date and safe against latest vulnerabilities. For each library you want to freeze alongside with a binary, you leave a forgotten library that'll bite you in the future with some fresh 0-days. For Google themselves, they could maintain the Chrome release with all libraries up-to-date as if they're maintaining a mini distro (with that many dependencies, it almost is), but here even keeping the ungoogled-chromium AUR package up-to-date alone is already that time-consuming for the only maintainers. The flatpak version on the other hand could at least hold the libraries back in the sandbox, which means no more breaking chromium so you could try it.
(BTW, I'm using prebuilt ungoogled-chromium package from archlinuxcn repo for my x86-64 devices, and build the package by myself for my aarch64 devices.)

Please do NOT flag this package as out of date in relation to official chromium releases.
This is NOT Google Chromium and new releases come after additional work of the ungoogled-chromium contributors, so they may not be ready, nor available for days or even weeks after a new version of official chromium is released.
Please refer to https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/tags for ungoogled-chromium releases. Use those and please flag this package as out of date only if a newer release is present there. I will update the PKGBUILD as soon as I can every time a new release comes out.
Thanks
