A new va-api patch for wayland has been added. Required flags for it to work are the following, thanks to @acidunit

--disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder
--enable-hardware-overlays

Please do NOT flag this package as out of date in relation to official chromium releases.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 Use those and please flag this package as out of date only if a newer release is present there.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

oh i think i have figured out how build.opensuse.org works. my mistake was trying to understand how to work with osc

<deleted-account> commented on 2020-01-14 21:28 (UTC)

@JstKddng I know that OpenSuse has a good reputation but I really can't trust any free build service nowadays. Bitcoin miners are everywhere right now and they can inject their viruses even with bytecodes. Even if they get exposed, they will just blame it on "a hacker hacked our servers... bla bla bla" and they won't get punished for that.

this applies for paid services aswell.

treeshateorcs commented on 2020-01-14 18:51 (UTC)

also, is it really free? and i can build anything?

@JstKddng

hey, opensuse build service looks great, but my feeble brain can't comprehend its tutorial, if possible could you please list the steps necessary to build an arch package on it?

@treeshateorcs

Same as @Rowisi, just leave it compiling before going to sleep, it should be done by the time you are awake. I used to do that before finding out the OpenSUSE's Build Service. Really helped out with the electric bill.

<deleted-account> commented on 2020-01-12 14:20 (UTC)

@treeshateorcs I usually run makepkg or yay on a non-graphical interface like (tty2) and I connect to wifi with nmtui command. You can also build the package before you sleep and you will find everything finished when you wake up. I find 3 hours and 6GB (after compiling storage) worth it for this package.

I gave up on this. extensions just crash, and installing them is awkward. I'll let them spy on me with extra/chromium

treeshateorcs commented on 2020-01-11 19:53 (UTC)

is there any way to speed up the building a bit? it takes 3 hours of a smoking hot laptop for me. maybe there is a chromium git repository or something so it doesn't download and clean the build directory every time?

@JstKddng

That guy is still here using Arch Linx and the ungoogled-chromium binary build from your repo ;)

It's true, I'm currently looking into FreeBSD to replace Arch Linux on my laptop, and this time around it really seems to be ready to make this possible, but that matter, which browser to use and what the future holds, is not dependent on the used OS.

@settyness

I'm not sure what IceCat is supposed to make different than Firefox, last time I looked into this, it was only to remove the Mozilla branding.

@bsdice

QuickJS looks interesting, but likely a long way from something usable. I doubt to see a functional web browser with it in 2020, but at least there is hope.

During my research into the BSDs I found out that the OpenBSD devs really seem to like stock Chromium, for which they even added unveil support (OS level hiding of file system access except ~/Downloads). According to some instructions you should be able to achieve around 90% of what projects like Iridium or ungoogled-chromium do by configuration, without the paranoid need to remove any URL-references in the source code.

That said, I haven't used ungoogled-chromium much lately, but I have played around with Netsurf (with JS disabled) quite a bit, which performs as well as Bromite (with JS disabled) on my Android phone. Quite a working option when just reading manuals, blogs and other sites that are still operational without JS.

But we really need something new that brings back the secure web with privacy in mind. I will keep a close eye on development around QuickJS for sure!

@settyness

Don't bother with that guy, he is in one of the BSDs. Regarding icecat, you could use Parabola's package, just download it.

Regarding the deletion, ungoogled-chromium and ungoogled-chromium-bin aren't related, so this package should be safe from the crusade of @eschwartz of purging degenerate packages from the AUR.

I have a mirror of the original package if anyone wants to re-add it here. https://github.com/jstkdng/ungoogled-chromium-bin . You will have to wait though, as the git repo still exists here. Might be deleted again as it seems @eschwartz is a REALLY trusted Trusted User™ (by reading from the aur-requests mirrorlist), after all, he must have had a good reason to do it, right????. He even deleted the ungoogled-chromium-archlinux package himself, lmao.

Final thoughts, you could use my repository as a replacement for ungoogled-chromium-bin for now. Just follow this instructions: https://github.com/jstkdng/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux#downloads . Nothing suspicious, as those packages come from my OpenSUSE's build service repository: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:justkidding:arch/ungoogled-chromium . I just have my own repository since I don't have control over the private keys in the OBS.

Oh well, good luck and hope this doesn't happen to you @seppia.
