chrlauncher VS winchrome

It has auto-update thanks to chrlauncher.

All Portable Chromium Builds use - https://github.com/henrypp/chrlauncher/

If you like Chrome but don't care about numerous Google's trackers sending data of your browsing habits, get Chromium instead. There's a simple self-updating, open source launcher on Github. Grab the latest release. Used that for years.

There is Chrlauncher with support for ungoogled-chromium.

Use Chromium with uBlock Origin for ad blocking and Chlauncher for auto-updates.

It’s a bad bargain. Google as evil as Microsoft in terms of privacy. Better switch to Chromium with chrlauncher or Brave.

Hey, Congratulations on your upgrade to Windows 7!

Not 48 hours ago, I spoke highly of the benefits of Windows 7[1], as a user myself.

It is absolutely possible to use Windows 7 reasonably securely, if you take the appropriate precautions(again, see my comment)

> I can use the latest versions of Google Chrome

Firefox? Yes. Chrome? No.

Chromium 109 is the last version to support Windows 7. Here's the last working ungoogled variant [2].

Switch to LibreWolf[3] Firefox based browser with user.js modifications[3] pre-installed. Or if you don't trust librewolf, use Firefox and manually add the same user.js[4]

It's better for security than Chrome could ever hope to be.

Your web browser's javascript continue to be the predominant way for malware to make its entry. So just make sure to take the appropriate security precautions, as mentioned in my comment [1].

> When Firefox stopped receiving upgrades I switched to Mypal browser, an open source browser specially made for Windows XP. It is cruder than Google Chrome but does the job most of the time.

Have you tried K-Meleon on Windows XP[5]? It's Old Firefox(pre-Australis) based, and still gets updates.

Windows 7 is the last legit good Microsoft Operating System.

It truly is a wonder and a delight to use and modify.

Anyway, all the very best on your Windows 7 journey. May it serve you well.

Cheers!

v109.0.5414.120-r1070088 (Ungoogled, 25 Jan 2023) Marmaduke • up-to-date • ungoogled • widevine • all-codecs+ • win64 • Portable • Archive • Installer

I use vivaldi and this: https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/releases

What is this? https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-windows Is this versions not at chromium.woolyss.com? It's not the Marmaduke version, which is at https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome Is that the version the Marmaduke build is based on (with some added features)?

Ungoogled Chromium Binaries: https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/releases, or https://chromium.woolyss.com/

I have been directly affected by it. It turns out the binaries distributed via winget on windows come from an apparently reliable source (https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/releases) that has even changed some browser features. I found it out when I saw a button saying 'black' instead of 'back' on a 'confirm form resubmission' dialog box. I dug deeper and reproduced it with the help of a UG dev.

I'm using Windows version, but there's also Linux version in another repo. https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/releases/tag/v102.0.5005.63-6-r992738-Win64

Consider ungoogled chromium as an alternative (it still has the win11 style menu flag!): https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/releases

here https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/releases are the very latest versions of ungoogled chromium binaries(94.0.4606.81). You can even see the source code to verify yourself.
