Please do NOT flag this package as out of date in relation to official chromium releases.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 Use those and please flag this package as out of date only if a newer release is present there.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

@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.

Will you stick to ungoogled-chromium no matter what?

@MasterOne

Sorry for late reply, somehow I missed your question. I will stick to ungoogled-chromium because a) chromium code base is the most aggressively security-bugfixed browser today b) since Edge browser will switch to chromium's engine(s) under the hood, it will be the browser most sites will optimize for and be compatible with going forward c) hardware accelerated video for H.264/H.265 d) paranoid privacy of this fork.

My fallback thus far has been Palemoon. If manifest v3 cripples the extensions that I use and want (uBlock Origin, uMatrix, Tampermonkey, Editthiscookie, and some more), and no patches can revive them, I will reconsider. Pure Firefox is out of the question, the Mozilla organisation is pretty much governed by money and can't be trusted. IMO they're fed ad dollars by Google only to have a 'competitor' on paper, should congress turn nasty on Google in an anti-trust case.

I saw Fabrice Bellard has single-handedly written "QuickJS", a MIT-licensed javascript engine. Maybe a whole new browser with 1/20th the code base of chromium will appear in the 2020s that uses it. If some super-freaks get together to build one, the market in a world governed by the FAANG companies is certainly there.

@MasterOne The answer is GNU IceCat. If you're serious enough to build the package, you can use provided icecat package here on the AUR. I used to use ungooged-chromium-bin for normie browsing, but that's about it. I honestly wouldn't trust any Chromium derivative these days for everyday browsing. I came here to check on the status of this project, since its binary has been removed from the AUR.

It kinda sucks there isn't a decent option for using normie stuff like workday or bank accounts. You pretty much just have to suck it up and go vanilla Chromium or something else, unless you wanna spend time building this for little gain. Again, GNU/IceCat is great for everyday use and just general browsing where blocking everything is acceptable.

Install them manually then use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromexup/ to update them.

eimis commented on 2020-01-05 17:12 (UTC)

how do you guys install extensions?

MasterOne commented on 2019-12-02 14:01 (UTC)

@bsdice, yes, this is of big concern!

I am still drawn between the use of Firefox and ungoogled-chromium, and I just can't seem to be able to make up my mind. Will you stick to ungoogled-chromium no matter what?

bsdice commented on 2019-12-02 10:11 (UTC)

To whom it may be of concern:

Chromium, and thus ungoogled-chromium, today has sadly become only a second-class citizen when it comes to blocking web objects from unwanted sources: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/3a564c199260a857f3d78d5f12b8c3f1aa85b865

TLDR; The ad industry is abusing a DNS feature to "cloak" their servers, in order to be more difficult to block. Countermeasures require browser support that only Firefox has today. I would hope that a developer can come up with a patch over the holidays that adds the webext API "dns" to ungoogled-chromium. And that Gorhill can implement this as an option for the Chromium version.

Does Google have an interest to not implement this, because they are foremost an ad-company? Sure. Do I not want to execute unknown and malicious javascript on a browser with sub-par security on Intel CPUs with abysmal security track record? For sure. Will 99.9% of users care? Surely not, they eat what Google or Microsoft care to serve.

@seppia @Megumi_fox: thanks for your quick feedback and update. Apparently that was indeed the problem.
