ungoogled-chromium is a free and open-source variant of the Chromium web browser that removes all Google-specific web services. [4] [5] [6] It achieves this with a series of patches applied to the Chromium codebase during the compilation process. The result is functionally similar to regular Chromium. [7] [8]
Some features of regular Chromium do not work the same on ungoogled-chromium. For example, a special browser extension, called chromium-web-store, is required to install other extensions from the Chrome Web Store. [10]
The ungoogled-chromium project was founded by a hobbyist with the user name Eloston in 2015. It was first developed for Linux, then for other operating systems. [11] [12] Eloston used to release builds, but eventually he stopped doing so and allowed others to provide builds with his patches. [13]
Starting in 2019, Eloston greatly reduced his involvement in the project, and other developers have continued to maintain the patches. [1] In 2022, the GitHub repository was transferred from Eloston's personal account to a new "ungoogled-software" account. [14]
This repo is now part of ungoogled-software
