  • ungoogled-chromium

    Google Chromium, sans integration with Google

  • Well, you could tell them about other aspects of privacy respecting tools. for example, Bromite (only for android) makes most of those annoying ads go away (also blocks trackers), and as a consequence, uses less data. Plus, it looks just like chrome. Firefox (the desktop version) has bigger fonts which I find easier on the eyes. With the DuckDuckGo Extension, it also blocks ads (and trackers). If they don't like Firefox, ungoogled chromium looks just like the regular chrome. For the search engine, I don't think they'd be interested in DuckDuckGo bangs... I haven't tried it yet but I think Startpage looks more like Google (but DuckDuckGo is more private.) If this doesn't work you can tell them that collected data can be used against them. Some evidence: https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogle/comments/fewyqe/google_tracked_his_bike_ride_past_a_burglarized/

  • bromite

    Bromite is a Chromium fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancements; take back your browser!

  • Vanadium

    Privacy and security enhanced releases of Chromium for GrapheneOS. Vanadium provides the WebView and standard user-facing browser on GrapheneOS. It depends on hardening in other GrapheneOS repositories and doesn't include patches not relevant to the build targets used on GrapheneOS.

  • I don't know enough about ddg mobile or vivaldi. Currently I use Vanadium (the default Browser of GrapheneOS, but it does not feature content blocking) and this Fork/Automated build of Bromite. It has all the features of Bromite and uses the latest Chromium version, but could be unstable.
