I think you want: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium Without signing in to a Google Account, Chromium does pretty well in terms of security and privacy. However, Chromium still has some dependency on Google web services and binaries. In addition, Google designed Chromium to be easy and intuitive for users, which means…

Cromite[0] is the best on Android, it’s a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium. Cromite has a desktop build, but it’s a bit more experimental than the mobile build, so you can use Ungoogled Chromium[1] instead. Ungoogled is also a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium. Check the beta flags to enable some more interesting features like getClientRect anti-fingerprinting…

Firefox or Ungoogled Chromium (needs to update uBlock manually) in Incognito window with unchanged vanilla uBlock Origin with lists updated and no other plugins and without YouTube account. Works perfectly. Also FreeTube.

While these screenshots use Google Chrome, they will also work on all ‘Chromium’ based web browsers, like Brave, Vivaldi, ungoogled-chromium, etc. Window’s Edge is also compatible, though some the button locations are changed.

I would highly recommend the Ungoogled Chromium fork instead: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium Entirely volunteer maintained, there is no for-profit entity behind it looking to do crypto referrals or ad swapping or anything like that.

There’s also “Ungoogled Chromium“, a fork of Chromium (the open-source base of Google Chrome), with all the Google-specific features removed, like logging into a Google account, etc. I have not used it so can’t give a recommendation, but it should also run all Chrome extensions just as well as Google Chrome.

Technically speaking, there is a project called Ungoogled Chromium which is truly de-googlified. Chromium is heavily integrated with Google sans some closed-source blobs.

On KDE, Falkon. On Gnome, “Web”. On macOS, Safari may not pass your “non-corporate” requirement, but it’s spiritually non-corporate, and functionally “just a browser”. It’s also wicked fast and extremely light on your resources. On many platforms, “ungoogled-chromium” may satisfy your needs.

> What do you want in a browser? Zero telemetry. The recent release of the Mullvad Browser[0] is a godsend, but it’s not a Chromium fork. It’s based off the Tor Browser Bundle. But if we really need a good Chromium fork, Ungoogled Chromium[1] is a good choice. [0] https://mullvad.net/en/browser [1]

Of an “ungoogled chromium“. Ones that ripped their own Google control core out in rebellion against what they saw was unfair.

Well, you could tell them about other aspects of privacy respecting tools. For example, Bromite (only for android) makes most of those annoying ads go away (also blocks trackers), and as a consequence, uses less data. Plus, it looks just like chrome.
Firefox (the desktop version) has bigger fonts which I find easier on the eyes. With the DuckDuckGo Extension, it also blocks ads (and trackers). If they don’t like…

I would have preferred they gave Objective 3 higher precedence than Objective 2. Though since I am not a Chromium user I misunderstand the implications of Objective 2. https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium#obj….

If you want a separate browser for all of that, I recommend ungoogled chromium. To websites, it is basically default Google Chrome. Nothing should break with it.

I have problems to access fanfiction.net with Firefox or ungoogle-chromium, it says that the page cannot be accessed. It is not 100% reproducible, happens just very often (like 8 of 10 or something) and the same browser can work quite perfectly elsewhere (like here) and the page seems to be accessible by Chrome. Any ideas what’s going on? Is there some enforced tracking or something going on?

Brave sucks. Safari on Mac is practically perfect. For situations where I must use a Chromium-based browser, I use https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium.

Ungoogled Chromium (Mac & Linux), much more performant than Firefox; use Chromium Web Store to maintain extensions (ungoogled means ungoogled, no normal Chrome Web Store), and xBrowserSync for bookmarks. I really wish I could just use Safari on Mac though, all I want is bookmark sync (and more/better extensions, but bookmark sync).
