Notes

• Since the beginning of the Chromium project until today, there is no binary of stable Chromium shared by the official team.
• The official website is development oriented. Users are invited to download Google Chrome.
• The official download page gives to users only ZIP archives of development builds (also known as "snapshot", "nightly", "vanilla" or "raw" builds) which can be very unstable. Users are invited to download Google's Chrome Canary.
• This site gives to users a choice of builds: development (also on its simplest download page), stable and portable builds.

• Google Storage → development builds from the official repository (Chromium buildbot)
• GitHub, AWS and SourceForge → other free and open-source builds

1. Project

• ANGLE (Graphics engine abstraction layer)
• Blink (Rendering/layout engine)
• Native Client (Sandbox for running native code)
• PDFium (PDF generation and rendering library)
• Sandbox (Security mechanism for separating running programs)
• Skia (Graphics library)
• V8 (JavaScript engine)
• and others...

2. Stable Chromium version

Privacy

1. Modify your #hosts-file to stop "natively" domains who serve ads, spyware and malware
2. Use a VPN with strong encryption for your whole OS or router to bypass many restrictions on Internet. Note you are not anonymous behind a VPN service (cf. Browser fingerprint, Server-side tagging...) (It is better than browser VPN/proxy #extensions)
3. Use an up-to-date web browser
4. Change few #browser-settings
5. Install few #extensions

1. Browser update

2. Browser settings

• Do not log in with a Google account in the browser (screenshot • Do not sync your data!)
• Do not save passwords in the browser (Prefer a free and open-source password manager like Bitwarden, KeePass, LessPass or Password Safe)
• Enable the incognito (or private) mode (Ctrl+Shift+N shortcut • Use a #flag to start Chromium in this mode)
• Disable all options in the "Privacy and security" section (chrome://settings/privacy) because most of them use an external Google service. (Ex: "Safe Browsing" option uses Google Safe Browsing • More info about privacy settings)
• Block third-party cookies (chrome://settings/content/cookies)
• Block the #flash plugin (chrome://settings/content/flash)
• Do not share your location (chrome://settings/content/location)
• Prevent canvas fingerprinting (Use the --disable-reading-from-canvas #flag)

3. Hosts file

• Dan Pollock's list
• Malware Domain List
• MVPS HOSTS
• Peter Lowe's list
• Unified hosts file with base extensions
• No more ads, tracking and other virtual garbage

• Few #extensions like uBlock Origin can also use these lists in their settings.
• Few tools like Pi-hole and AdAway can also use these lists in their settings.
• Free and open-source auto-updating Hosts managers: hostsmgr, HostsFileEditor (on Windows), Gas Mask (on macOS)

4. DNS services

• Adguard DNS
• Cloudflare DNS resolver (by Cloudflare • 1.1.1.1 for Families)
• Comodo Secure DNS (by Comodo)
• DynDNS (by Dyn)
• Google Public DNS
• Nextdns
• OpenDNS (by Cisco)
• OpenNIC
• Quad9 DNS
• Yandex.DNS (by Yandex • Technical details - IPv4 and IPv6)

• The DNS over HTTPS (aka DoH) page on the official Chromium website.
• You can also use a DNS over HTTPS client (screenshot of Firefox 62+). Check Publicly available servers.
• You can also use a DNSCrypt client (Ex: Encrypt your DNS traffic with Simple DNSCrypt for Windows)
• You can also use your own DNS resolver with Unbound or other software.

5. Web search engines

Search engines

• Baidu
• Bing
• Gigablast
• Google Search
• Mojeek
• Yahoo! Search
• Yandex Search

Metasearch engine

• Disconnect Search (by Disconnect.me • Uses Bing, Yahoo... results)
• DuckDuckGo (uses its own crawler + Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, Wikipedia... results, on Amazon servers (AWS) • Review at an 8ch page archive • To search without JS, choose the html or lite version)
• Ecosia (uses Bing results)
• Fireball (uses Bing results)
• Givero (uses Bing results • Review at Hacker News)
• Oscobo
• Private.sh (by Private Internet Access • Uses Gigablast results)
• Qwant (uses its own crawler but is partner with Microsoft for Bing results, Bing Ads and Microsoft Azure • Its lite version)
• Startpage (uses Google results • Owned by System1, an advertising company)
• Swisscows (uses its own crawler + Bing results with enabled parental filter)
• YaCy (A peer-to-peer search engine)

• Searx (uses many search engines • Source code in Python • Author: Adam Tauber, @Searx_engine • Searx instances)
• MetaGer (uses Yahoo... results • Source code in PHP)
• Whoogle Search (uses Google results • Source code in Python • Author: Ben Busby)
• Googol (uses Google results • Source code in PHP • Author: Bronco)

6. Extensions

• With the use of extensions, you become more easily identifiable (cf. Browser fingerprint, Server-side tagging...)
  
  
• Extensions hosted on the Chrome Web Store are updated via the Chrome update mechanism (cf. Chromium source code) which developers and users do not control. For a manual installation, read the #external-extension-installation part.
  
  
• Here, priority to open-source (and non-obfuscated code) extensions for Chromium and Firefox:

Block ads, trackers, scripts and popups

• Download: store, amo
• Alternatives: Privacy Badger, Adblock Plus, AdBlock, Disconnect, Ghostery, Adguard AdBlocker, Fair AdBlocker, Forget Me Not, NoScript
• Info: Add filters to your ad-blocker via FilterLists (an open-source website)
• My advice: By default, block third-party scripts and frames (uBlock Origin medium mode • screenshot). Also, about Adblock Plus or AdBlock, disable "Acceptable Ads" option (screenshot).

Force to use secure connection of websites (https://)

• Download: store, amo
• Alternatives: Smart HTTPS, KB SSL Enforcer, HTTPZ

Stop link redirection in Google, DuckDuckGo and Yandex search pages

• Download: store, amo
• Alternatives: Redirect Blocker, Redirect Bypasser

Clean URLs to remove tracking elements from URLs

• Download: store, amo
• Alternatives: Neat-URL

Control the HTTP Referer on a per-site basis

• Download: store, amo
• Alternatives: Smart Referer, Web Developer
• Info on wikipedia

Prevent canvas fingerprint

• Download: store, amo
• Alternatives: Canvas Defender, Canvas Fingerprint Defender
• Info on wikipedia, browserleaks, ghacks

Emule locally CDN

• Download: store, amo
• Alternatives: LocalCDN
• Info on wikipedia, decentraleyes test page, localcdn test page

Prevent WebRTC IP leak

• Download: store, amo
• Alternatives: WebRTC Control, WebRTC Network Limiter, WebRTC Leak Prevent
• Info: An extension can only block the leak of your IP address. It does not block WebRTC in the "core" of Chromium. uBlock Origin can protect against the WebRTC IP leak. You can do some #tests.

Prevent CSS Exfil attack

• Download: store, amo
• Info on BleepingComputer, Github and mike-gualtieri.com

Unblock websites with a browser VPN/proxy

• Download: store, amo
• Alternatives: anonymoX, HidemanVPN, TunnelloVPN, TouchVPN, Hotspot Shield
• My advice: Prefer to pay for a safe and secure VPN provider protecting your whole OS ; or use a free VPN service without registration. Do not use Hola!, ZenMate or Betternet in their free version. Hola! is a botnet. Betternet shares/sells user data to third-parties. In its free version, ZenMate needs a registration.

Display sites quality

• Download: store, amo
• Alternatives: DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read
• My advice for the WOT addon: Do not share your data. (WOT settings → Real-time protection → Set to off)

Malware

False positive?

1. Chromium has no digital signature (unlike Google Chrome). It is not signed because is open source and not "owned" per se by any one particular developer or organization. Moreover, a certificate is not free for developers (Example, Apple Developer Program).
2. Antivirus use generic detection and database of malware signatures.
3. VirusTotal which aggregates many antivirus is a Google service using its Trusted Source project to limit false positives for software like Google Chrome (because it is digitally signed), not for Chromium.
4. So, unsigned Chromium + any antivirus or VirusTotal service = More chance to get an antivirus alert.

• False positive - chromium 79 (2019 • Broadcom • Archive: 1)
• Chromium 32bit download has a virus? (2018 • Avast antivirus • Archive: 1)
• IDP.Generic reported for chromium executable (2018 • Avast antivirus • Archive: 1)
• False positive on Chromium executable (2016 • Avast antivirus • Archive: 1)
• False positive with Chromium (2015 • Panda Internet Security • Archive: 1)
• False Positive on latest Chromium Nightly? (2014 • Avast antivirus • Archive: 1)
• AntiVirus detected Malware while syncing using gclient (2014 • Chromium Issue Tracker • Archive: 1)
• pepflashplayer.dll tagged as malware and removed by F-Secure (2012 • Chromium Issue Tracker • Archive: 1)
• Kaspersky detects Chrome as Trojan (2010 • Chromium Issue Tracker • Archive: 1)
• Avast! Anti-Virus reports Google Chrome as Trojan (2008 • Chromium Issue Tracker • Archive: 1)

Authentic malware?

• The common entry methods for Chromium virus are freeware downloads as bundled software (bundleware) and spam e-mails. It means Chromium has been silently installed via another software. Do not forget Chromium is free and open-source. So malware writers use Chromium to push malicious code on to your system. Remove this "fake" or suspicious Chromium web browser (like BeagleBrowser, BoBrowser, BrowserAir, Chedot, eFast Browser, Fusion Browser, Mustang Browser, MyBrowser, Olcinium Browser, Palikan, Qword Browser, Torch, Tortuga Browser...).
• The other way is about a compromised Chromium repository on a reliable source (#notes).

@Anon9430
Just to verify, is the Chromium web store extension installed, updated to the latest version and not turned off?
https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store/releases

If the button becomes active, just ignore the error message, it still should download and install your extension.

Anon9432 

21 Nov 2023, 04:57

Hello, Chromium web store extension was not installed at all and assuming it has become mandatory recently. The greyed out button is now available again although the error message persists.

Thank you!!

Hi @marmaduke,

Hope you are OK. We miss your ungoogled build releases.
With kind regards,

hello,
I am not begging for anything but are we going to see some updated version of the ungoogled release ?
thank you for your support

Anon9446

@Anon9445
Try these builds: https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/releases/windows/

Anon9447 

28 Nov 2023, 19:26

Will there be any update to ungoogled chromium or is it dead, can we get an info on that?
There is an emergency update for zero day exploitation: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/google-chrome-emergency-update-fixes-6th-zero-day-exploited-in-2023/
if there will be no more updates, please tell so people switch to something else instead of keep using known to be vulnerable browser.

The ungoogled chromium builds for android are based on Cromite. I don't know whether the windows ones are, but i still think Cromite might be better than ungoogled chromium for windows. Has anyone done a comparison? Talking about the official ones

@Anon9452

I tried both ungoogled and cromite, both on droid and windows. On windows tried both the ungoogled-software and Maggot/Marmaduke builds. Not gonna do a detailed comparison, but here is my personal opinion.
Windows:
Performance wise Cromite and Maggot/Marmaduke builds perform a little better than ungoogled-software in tests. Not much difference between Maggot/Marmaduke and Cromite in tests. But that's just the tests. In daily use there is absolutely no noticable difference. Cromite lacks a few flags (features) I want to use, so I am using Maggot/Marmaduke.
Android:
On Android I only tried Marmaduke and Cromite. Didn't run tests, but in daily use there is no noticable difference between the two. I do not use them much on the phone, didn't notice much difference, but my choice is Cromite because of the (semi) auto updates and I like the green icon.

In short, they are all fine browsers, pick whichever you prefer, can't go wrong.

Is keeping hope for a new x64 ungoogled chromium update just carrying on a pipe dream of anomitity, security and stability for older systems at this point?. Counting down the months to full manifest 3 or should I and others give up and go firefox?

@Maggot Thanks for the Intel version of Chromium for Mac! Works great. Now if you could only make an ARM64 version (only if you have the time). Thanks again.
