Since a recent update ungoogle-chromium-bin
started setting itself as the default browser after each update.
(on KDE Plasma v5.27.10)
Can this behavior be disabled?
It quickly gets very annoying to always go to:
Settings => Applications => Default Applications => Toggle Web browser
back to what I had manually configured

I was getting a 404 when trying to update this, but after clearing the cache with yay -Scc, it was able to download the correct file and the update completed successfully.
I could install it with paru only after I cleaned up the cache with "rm -fr ~/.cache/paru/clone/ungoogled-chromium-bin" . FWIM.
Make sure you refresh the PKGBUILD to indicate pkgrel=1 not pkgrel=2, I was getting 404 until I pulled the new PKGBUILD
FYI to other commenters, the release is still building, as mentioned in the top comment https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux/actions/workflows/release.yml
Source is 404.
There is not yet a release like "120.0.6099.216-2". https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux/releases
The update does not work:

Hello everyone, there's always a lot of confusion when ungoogled-chromium doesn't start because of a system dependency it can't find.
This issue is inherent to Arch Linux package management, there's no mechanism that tracks required rebuilds. Maintainers are expected to push manual pkgrel bumps once a rebuild is required. The
chromiumpackage can somewhat easily handle this, they can also update the package in testing first.People's comments here or on GitHub are how I notice that a rebuild is required, I try to push an update quickly then. Sadly a full rebuild currently takes over 24 hours on GitHub Actions and I'm not exactly maintaining open source software as my dayjob either, so this can take a while.
There's no solution for this really, other than adopting the package into the official repository maybe (I cannot do that). Note that for Manjaro users even a rebuild might not be enough as there can always be mismatches in what system library versions are available.

Please note that normally it's not required to flag this package as out of date. I usually tag releases in the main ungoogled-chromium repository and update the arch packaging right afterwards.
If the package hasn't updated after an ungoogled-chromium release GitHub Actions might still be building or the ungoogled-chromium patchset got updated for non Linux platforms only to match their upstream release cycle
