chromium-web-store VS brave-browser

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.

You'll notice the actual patching itself is introduced with the caveat:

Brave browser, which blocks ads and trackers, grew to over 50 million monthly active users in 2023 while enabling privacy-first models to counter Google's search and Chrome browser ecosystem.

Still waiting on the Brave stable release with the patched version of chromium https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/35013

Manually download the standalone version from: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/tag/v1.61.101 and update it that way.

Upgraded Chromium to 120.0.6099.71. (#34740) (Changelog for 120.0.6099.71)

For those looking for a fix: Use the latest Nightly Build for Brave.
