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)?

In this case it looks like https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-windows/releases/download/103.0.5060.134-1.1/ungoogled-chromium_103.0.5060.134-1.1_windows_x64.zip

I've found the github, but I've never built anything off of github before and while I'm sure I could figure it out if I have to, are there prebuilt versions or installers or anything I can use instead?

FWIW, I recently started building my own ungoogled chromium from here: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-win...

Someone might post a binary build there soon with 94 (until yesterday they only had the ancient 89), but you can build it yourself as well (on my 32-core 5950x with 64Gb RAM it took 2.5+ hours to build, just to be prepared for that).

Note that it won't have the Google Chrome Store, so the process for installing extensions (ahem, uBlock Origin) is a bit more involved: https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-wiki...

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!

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.
