This seems like one of the most difficult solutions to the problem of switching to a browser that's not Chrome. Not only are there other browsers like Firefox and Safari, but there are other Chromium-based browsers like Vivaldi and Opera. I would have liked to read about some expected use-cases in the readme.
why not Safari? Or is the issue non-MacOS OSs
“It also features some changes” says to me that this isn’t a safe fork to recommend to others. Rather than simply releasing a de-badged instance of the public Chrome product, it additionally includes “editorial” comments in the form of turning various switches on or off. Use at your own risk.
if they transparently list out the changes (rather than force someone to diff the source), then it's OK.
I'd actually like a fork of chromium with no googley phone home features. Maybe put timeouts on cookies and bunch of other things.

Especially for Firefoxes container functionality. >Allows you to sign in to two different accounts on the same site. Allows you to isolate your sites from one another, by containerizing tabs. Allows you to avoid leaving a social networking footprint to keep those sites from tracking you. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.techrepublic.com/google-amp...
Funny you mention avoiding tracking while pasting an AMP link. But yeah the containers are fucking amazing. I use them for development to log in as multiple user types at the same time.
I'm still not happy with how AMP operates. Seems like it will mess up the interwebs. Something on IPFS along with tighter usage of compression and markup compliance is likely a better solution than AMP.
Coincidentally I had found out this one today and compiled it myself after a frustrating experience with `brew install chromium` (videos wouldn't play; inputs would blink). I guess this has more flags set up by default, and it makes it easier to target a stable commit to compile against. Also as a word of caution, don't use ungoogled-chromium binaries - they never are fully official/confirmed/reproducible. Running op…

EDIT: never mind, I was wrong

Anyone know how this differs from https://chromium.woolyss.com who has been building Chromium, for all major platforms, without Google features for years?
On the other hand, `ungoogled-chromium` is a set of patches for Chromium that removes every Google feature/integration/service from the code.

Those seem to be builds of Chromium, which (even if you disable Sync and Widevine) still has Google integration in some places. On the other hand, `ungoogled-chromium` is a set of patches for Chromium that removes every Google feature/integration/service from the code.
I don't know enough of the guts of Chromium and Chrome to know if it covers everything, but seems comprehensive to my naive eye.
