I was surprised exactly how fast it launches.
I'll use it daily when it has syncing.

>>58549963
You can't install extensions from the Store. You have to manually download them and install them, it's very easy actually.

>>58549899
Seriously spreading alphabet product on 4chan!
Did you verify yourself?
How many months did you spend to read/trace it?

>>58549963
Just use git clone to your extension folder like any advanced users.

I'm using either Inox browser, Iridium or ungoogled-chromium. And you're advocating for Chromium which is proven to be compromised, even though it's open source.

How can you be so sure about this? Has all of the code been audited?

isn't the google integration fairly large selling point for chrome/chromium?

I wish Chromium would upgrade to GTK3 already.

Personally, I prefer Firefox to Chromium. That's all. It just works. I don't care as much about aesthetics.

Satisfied opera user here. Give me some good reasons why I should switch to ungoogled chromium and I'll give it a try.

is there an equivalent to Open With for chromium?

>>58551156
more like the UI is a lot nicer and it performs way better. Plus normies have it shoved down their throats by google every time they search for something. literally the only reason i use it is firefox has around double the cpu useage when watching video, and a fuckawful ui that looks like it was designed by a downie

Stop spreading lies. You can use any firewall you want (TCPBlock/Little Snich on OSX, TinyWall on Windows, etc.) and you'll see it doesn't make any connections without user input.

All Google domains are substituted from the source, so even if some privacy-invading code were left, it would try to connect to a nonexistent server (and alert the user about that). There are closed issues in the Github page that prove this behavior.

>>58551196
ungoogled-chromium includes Iridium patches.

>>58551156
It is. But many users prefer chromium-based browsers due to Blink performing better than Gecko in almost every case.

>>58551385
Privacy and OSS philosophy. If those aren't priority, don't bother switching. Outside that, its lightweight.

>>58551484
>Privacy
Is privacy an issue with Opera? haven't heard much botnetting stories bout them

Will not use this because I like google translate.

>>58549899
How the fuck do I add extensions

>>58551596
I personally haven't tested nor done a network analysis of modern Opera. I mentioned privacy because I expect that it still phones Google, unless the devs specifically settled to stop that.

>>58552868
https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/blob/master/FAQ.md#can-i-install-extensions-from-the-chrome-webstore

You may also download the .crx files from Opera's add-on website or from the extension's Github page. Gorhill releases uBO in its repo.

>>58549982

>>58550656

>not wanting the botnet

pedophiles

its not un googled holy shit. it has "botnet" components that cant be removed without the whole thing not working.

>>58549970
personally i prefer the old ff ui as well as back in the day when firefox would let you change about new without the url showing up

>>58553144
And people say there aren't google shills here. Lol, fuck you.

>>58549899
No codecs. Nik's builds are the only acceptable Chromium builds, since they come with the codecs that Chrome does.

Honestly, because I don't trust unofficial browsers. I can't sue some guy at home if he does something malicious but Google have something to lose if they did the same.

ungoogled-chromium literally comes with the same codecs (as in, its compiled with the "proprietary_codecs=true" flag).

>>58553185
Stop spreading lies. There aren't any "botnet components". It strips the binaries, removes any known function that phones Google (including DNS look up and IPv6 pings), and replaces all Google domains in the source code with nonexistent ones, then builds everything from scratch. If the user clicks somewhere in the interface that would connect to Google, the browser blocks the connection and shows an alert. Please, show to me how can this browser connect to Google and I'd message the authors myself to notify of that bug.

But you won't, because you're just spreading FUD.

>>58553195

Why wouldn't google shills come here? And how would anyone know?

By posting anything that is pro google like the guy who just admitted to working for google. It shows they are either shills or are ignorant, either way they can't be trusted.

A number of features or background services communicate with Google servers despite the absence of an associated Google account or compiled-in Google API keys. Furthermore, the normal build process for Chromium involves running Google's own high-level commands that invoke many scripts and utilities, some of which download and use pre-built binaries provided by Google. Even the final build output includes some pre-built binaries.

I love mozilla too much even though it's inefficient.
I have an i7 anyways.

I work at Google and can confirm that even open source Chromium is a Google botnet. 99% of Chromium contributors are Google employees.

It takes 20+ minutes to check out the millions of lines of chromium/src.git (never mind the dozens of dependencies you need to pull in from DEPS) and it takes a couple hours to compile it. Do you honestly think anyone has audited all of Chromium source? That just because it's open source it must be safe?

For example, WebRTC leaks your IP address even if you have Chromium configured to use a proxy. Chromium has also at one point installed microphone listening software without asking or informing users, and it used to give special advanced permissions to https://plus.google.com. That's just the tip of the iceberg, this is just the stuff people found out about.

>>58550404
>No webrtc

So it's shit?

>>58554987
>Webrtc leaks your IP address

No shit retard. It's a protocol to negotiate a STUN/TURN for NAT traversal.

It's a good thing.

>>58554827
Did you actually read the page you copied that from? That is talking about Chromium. The changes they make to the version they are providing specifically remove those issues.

Why are people talking about chromium when this thread is about ungoogled chromium

>>58557449
bec most people are not autistic and use google services. Defeats the purpose of using ungoogled if you are going to browse youtube or gmail.

>>58557481
There's is nothing wrong with not using services from a PRISM provider. Get out NSA

I highly doubt you don't go on Youtube or any news site with google analytics.

I use it, but I keep having this issue with videos where apparently it defaults to Flash (even though ungoogled-chromium comes without it), and after a refresh it switches to HTML5 and plays normally. Though I had the same issue with every other Chromium build so I have no idea what's up.
I also miss the spellcheck, since I'm not a native English speaker.

>>58557897
Most adblockers will block Google Analytics by default.

I don't use any Google service directly. That includes YouTube - I only use it if someone sends me a video. In that case, I fetch it with youtube-dl. I solve captcha to post on 4chan. Most of my other browsing is forums who do not track their users outside their site, and work well without JS.

I always use Tor when reading news.

>>58549899
Can someone explain how this would improve performance over the Google Chrome? I'm currently using cyber fox and it works fine, but I like to change things up from time to time

>>58563795
It does feel a bit quicker to open than Chrome but performance is pretty similar otherwise. Give it and try and see what you think.

>>58563879
Damn, that was the nicest way you could have said that.
Thanks anon, I'll try it out.

>>58563204
sounds like a tough life

The problem is that Firefox is fucking slow.

>>58560326
It's not installed, that's the problem

>>58562318
Yes, there are builds that come with a launcher/updater

Just use Firefox, it works fine.

>>58565051

it's slow like my grandma.

Downloaded, installed extensions, restarted browser, black screen

Deleted everything

Run again without extensions

Black screen

I'll keep chrome thanks

Everytime I get the urge to give it a shot I look at the build process and think fuck it.

Firefox just werks for me. It's lightning fast on linux.

>>58551156
no, it's the speed at which it loads websites

Palemoon is awesome i don't understand why you guys don't try it out.

Only problem it's ugly.

>>58568081
I wouldn't call it awesome, but it's certainly undone a lot of the bullshit Mozilla did to destroy Firefox.

After being a longtime Firefox user (since 1.0.x), I can say it's definitely a lot nicer to have a semi-decent browser again...

>>58568081
Some of us like security rather than emotions like muh freedomz

>still can't customize it the way I want
>still can't get rid of the tabs on top
>still not worthy of my fucking time

And this is why even with the shit Mozilla (or should I say moz://a now) has been doing to Firefox it remains the only browser I give a flying fuck about.

When someone takes the Chromium codebase and merges it with the nearly 100% customization of Firefox, let me know.
