Google will HATE this: Ungoogled Chromium

Support the channel:

The Chromium web browser supposedly is much more secure than Firefox. But Google Chrome is known for its privacy issues, so is there a browser with all the advantages of Chrome but without these drawbacks?
You guessed it, there are several actually, one of the most popular for Windows, macOS and Linux is the Ungoogled Chromium project.

Also Google: *removes API Key from Chromium in March thus making Chromium officially closer to Ungoogled Chromium*

When i used chromium for the first time i thought of it like "chromium sounds cool so im gonna use it"

This is the magic of open source software: if someone pushes hard for anti-consumer features, consumers can start releasing their own versions. The same thing happened with Visual Studio Code: Visual Studio Codium is Visual Studio Code with tracking code removed.

I think people are still confused about it because it still has Chromium in the name. Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Ungoogled Chromium is build upon Chromium. Chromium is open source project started by Google. Ungoogled Chromium is a fork / different version modified by different people with different goals than Chromium. The goal is to be more secure and independent off Google I guess.

This is the physical menafestation of "Doctors hate her!", but is actually real.

Ungoogling sounds like it's definition would be "removing all traces of someone's existence from the internet"

There is two thing I want from a search engine in a browser. privacy & UNBIASED. SEARCHES !!!

Although it could be more functional in some cases, using it still promotes the Chromium monopoly the internet is facing. There are many addons or even forks for Firefox even if you don't like the default experience.

I'm more curious about that article about firefox's security rather than the video itself since I use firefox... honest question though: are those issues really that serious? like I imagine that since chrome is the most used browser it makes sense to also have a hardened security detail, and I'm also guessing, but I'm not quite sure so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that malware has to be targeted for chrome or firefox and I don't think it can work on both... so in my view since chrome is more popular I don't expect there to be that many threats available to firefox yet, hence its more safer to use frefox LOL

Actually Google loves it. By switching from Firefox to chromium you just solidify Googles browser monopole.

I think Google can forgive the 10-20 users they will loose to this

The only times I’ve used chromium is when a malware is in my pc

Packages like this work much better on Linux since the operating system itself will make sure it's up to date.

Dropping a comment to boost this into youtube's algorithm.

At the recommendation of my father, I am proud to say I am using Chromium right now, and have been for at least the last few months.
