winget install --id=eloston.ungoogled-chromium -e 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.
ungoogled-chromium is a configuration toolset for Chromium, designed to enhance privacy and control by modifying or removing features that communicate with Google or compromise user transparency.
Key Features:
- Removal of Google Services: Disables or removes components that interact with Google, reducing data collection and external communication.
- Binary Stripping: Uses system-provided binaries instead of those bundled with Chromium to minimize unnecessary code and improve dependency management.
- Feature Modifications: Adds or adjusts functionalities to provide users with greater control over their experience while maintaining minimal impact on general usability.
Audience & Benefit:
Ideal for privacy-conscious individuals and developers who seek a more transparent and customizable version of Chromium without significant deviations from its core functionality. Users benefit from increased control, reduced data sharing, and a cleaner browsing environment.
ungoogled-chromium can be installed via winget, ensuring straightforward setup on supported systems.
