    I don't think most people are aware of it, but here is the automatic updater: https://github.com/iklevente-zz/ChromiumForWindows (using it for a year or so, works like a charm)

    This crosses into problems with the web in general, especially when some sites refuse to work on any non-Blink browser, let alone a Gecko browser with privacy tweaks. At that rate, installing ungoogled-chromium, uBlock Origin, and updater programs for both (such as ChromiumForWindows and chromium-web-store) for your average grandmother would be a good middle-ground between privacy and mainstream web usability. Maybe putting a list of advert/tracker domains in the hosts file would help too without breaking anything Grandma uses.

  • Is Ungoogled Chromium A Good Option
    1 project | /r/privacytoolsIO | 10 Jan 2021
    You can use https://github.com/iklevente/ChromiumForWindows (select ungoogled version) , it auto-updates like google chrome and normal browsers. It uses macchrome/winchrome files which is usually updated quickly although I'm waiting for the latest build (87.0.4280.141-1) to be complied. Otherwise you can use either edge or Chromium itself (you can get auto updates with the link above, select the chromium version) which may not be as private as ungoogled chromium but still an okay choice if you want the latest updates out all chromium based browsers.

    For those who want a non portable version and want to install it as easy as chrome, I use https://github.com/iklevente/ChromiumForWindows (download the ungoggled version), it's more convenient than chrlauncher (since chrlauncher installs it as portable and I prefer my userdata to be in appdata)
