There’s new ‘chromium‘ and ‘chromium-widevine-plugin‘ packages in my repository. And chromium-ungoogled packages will follow soon.
Ungoogled Chromium. When comparing Chromium vs Ungoogled Chromium, the Slant community recommends Ungoogled Chromium for most people. In the question “What are the best desktop web browsers?”. Ungoogled Chromium is ranked 4th while Chromium is ranked 25th. For those who don't wish to download Chromium extensions from the Chrome Web Store, there is (fortunately) an alternative: you can install Chromium extensions manually. No Google account required. While this guide is primarily for people using Ungoogled Chromium, it can apply to other Chromium based browsers such as Brave. 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. I have read that the ungoogled-chromium web browser is not only free from Google services and tracking, but unlike other Chromium forks it is essentially a direct replacement for Chromium, featuring tweaks to improve privacy, control and transparency. Is there any procedure to.

Ungoogled Chromium Reddit
Chromium was upgraded to 90.0.4430.72 but unfortunately the 32bit package which I have built (twice) crashes immediately on startup. This happens both on Slackware 14.2 and on -current. The error message looks like it is something different than the glibc-2.3x related seccomp crash behavior in the previous Chromium 89.x releases.
Since I don’t have hardware that is running a 32bit Slackware OS and could only test on QEMU virtual machines so far, I can not confirm with 100% certainty that the new Chromium will or will not work on your 32bit Slackware OS, which is why I also kept the older 32bit chromium-89.0.4389.114 package in the repository.
Let me know about your experiences down here in the comments section! I am getting tired of begging Google developers not to break 32bit binaries every major release. I’d be grateful if people running 32bit Slackware who are affected by the 32bit Chromium crashes, would chime in. Else I will eventually have to drop 32bit support.
There’s also an updated Widevine plugin package, unfortunately Google only released this newer version for 64bit systems. The new 64bit package has version “4.10.2209.1” whereas the 32bit package remains at version “4.10.1582.2”.
Note that this Widevine plugin is meant for chromium-ungoogled only. The ‘real’ Chromium does not need or use it, since Chromium downloads this CDM library automatically for you.
