Dichromate
Dichromate is a privacy and security hardened Chromium fork. It is based on the now discontinued Hexavalent.
We follow the Chrome release schedule, and we try to release a newer build within 1-2 days of a stable release of Chrome.
Dichromate targets only Windows when developing patches and creating releases. It can be compiled for other platforms, but will not have all of the security features.
Dichromate has a number of additional security and privacy features compared to Chromium.
This is a list of some of them:
Windows Sandbox integration
The GPU and Renderer processes run in the Windows AppContainer
Browser dynamic code is disabled, and is enforced by ACG
Flag to disable V8's JIT compiler for Javascript
Flag to disable reading from the HTML5 canvas
HTTPS-only mode is the default
WebRTC hardening
Compiled with -fstack-protector-strong, -fwrapv, -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero, and CFI
Disabled basic Google services such as Safe Browsing, browser sign in, and crash reporting
Partitioned Cookies enabled by default
Contributing
Anyone is welcome to contribute to Dichromate, just make sure that the branding patch is always the last one in the list. This makes it easier when porting patches to a newer release.
Things to keep in mind
Although our releases are usually on time, Dichromate is a hobbyist project, and we cannot guarantee that releases are timely.
Firefox Browser, also known as Mozilla Firefox or simply Firefox, is a free and open-source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation. Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine to render web pages, which implements current and anticipated web standards. In 2017, Firefox began incorporating new technology under the code name Quantum to promote parallelism and a more intuitive user interface. Firefox is officially available for Windows 7 or newer, macOS, and Linux. Its unofficial ports are available for various Unix and Unix-like operating systems including FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, illumos, and Solaris Unix.
Postman is a collaboration platform for API development. Postman's features simplify each step of building an API and streamline collaboration so you can create better APIs — faster.
Opera is a multi-platform web browser developed by Opera Software. Opera is a Chromium-based browser. It distinguishes itself from other browsers through its user interface, functionality, and other features.
The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world, it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked.
ungoogled-chromium is a set of configuration flags, patches, and custom scripts.
These components altogether strive to accomplish the following
* Disable or remove offending services and features that communicate with Google or weaken privacy
* Strip binaries from the source tree, and use those provided by the system or build them from source
* Add, modify, or disable features that inhibit control and transparency (these changes are minor and do not have significant impacts on the general user experience)
ungoogled-chromium should not be considered a fork of Chromium.
The main reason for this is that a fork is associated with more significant deviations from the Chromium, such as branding, configuration formats, file locations, and other interface changes.
ungoogled-chromium will not modify the Chromium browser outside of the project's goals.
Since these goals and requirements are not precise, unclear situations are discussed and decided on a case-by-case basis.

This project is a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom.
LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM.
