chromium-web-store VS Gcam-Services-Provider

Ungoogled Chromium (Mac & Linux), much more performant than Firefox; use Chromium Web Store to maintain extensions (ungoogled means ungoogled, no normal Chrome Web Store), and xBrowserSync for bookmarks. I really wish I could just use Safari on Mac though, all I want is bookmark sync (and more/better extensions, but bookmark sync).

And if you want to use extensions from the Web Store: https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

ungoogled-chromium with chromium-web-store

Are there any chromium browsers on Android with addons? I'm not aware of any, so I primarily use Iceraven. On desktop I do have chromium with some addons, but the safest source is the Google web store. If you're using fully ungoogled chromium then you'll first need a custom extension to get access to the web store. You can get that here: https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

Install some of these extensions using by manually going through the Chromium web store (from github): uBlock Origin Privacy Badger by EFF Trace - Online Tracking Protection Fast Forward Disconnect Decentraleyes Smart referer (link, and I believe it is firefox only?)

If you have to use it anyway, atleast use some popular open source tools like this. https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store or use this guide https://avoidthehack.com/manually-install-extensions-ungoogled-chromium.

there's an extension for Ungoogled which is used to auto update extensions called "Chromium webstore" on github here.

as an alternative to the already mentioned options there is also ungoogled-chromium on flathub. Flatpak should already be preinstalled on Fedora (was there for me on 36 fresh install). Note that you will need to sideload chromium-web-store to get access to the Chrome extensions store. There is also a workaround for dark mode in the readme on the github repo for the flatpak.

So when I install gcam services provider app https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider System says *package already exists.

My goal for today is to get photos as good as Google Camera, on my Graphene'd Pixel 4. GrapheneOS's camera just wasn't cutting it for me, so I installed this: https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider And then Google Camera and Google Photos. I'm not logged into my Google account for Google Photos, and I used the above link in order to not install GSF.

You don't need microG to use Google camera, Gcam services provider is sufficient.

If you don't plan on using Gapps, you can use GCam Services provider and a GCam app.

you can try this instead: https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider

Get Gcam services provider - essentially the Camera/Photos

Its also important to note, that this app only works without google services if you install a fake-version of those services or have microG installed

If you have MicroG installed, you should be able to use it directly after installing and configuring it. In case you don't have MicroG you can also use this app which fakes the Google dependencies required to run GCam.

Pixel 4a with Graphene OS, only GCam Services Provider (https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider) to be able to use Google Camera. Implementation is super simple and it shouldn't take long to see that it actually does nothing.
