The future and maximum freedom lies in open source, where a team of dedicated users or developers actively de-enshittifies products. If you are on Arch Linux, try ungoogled-chromium: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ungoogled-chromium or precompiled https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ungoogled-chromium-bin possibly with https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store and possibly using a .config/chromium-flags.conf like this: --extension-mime-request-handling=always-prompt-for-install --enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL --wm-window-animations-disabled --animation-duration-scale=0 Timely updates, team defending manifest V2, no user data stealing or background scanning b/s, browser as it should be. Got a 10 year old machine with Intel iGPU and even video acceleration in the browser works.

Yes. Ungoogled-chromium runs ublock still. By default - Google disabled the store extension pages for browsers it flags as "Not Google" (incl ungoogled-chromium) but the extensions are still compatible. I use https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store There's a longer walk-through here: https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-wiki... Long story short - my extensions work just fine. Ublock, bitwarden, etc. --- Editing this to add - Ublock Origin (not lite) is still working for me on ungoogled-chromium v133.0.XXXXX. The same version of Chrome on macOS (v133.0.XXXXX) has disabled it by default claiming it's no longer compatible. So we'll see how long the fork continues manifest v2 support, but at least right now it's still a much better version of chromium than chrome. I'm already planning on moving to dns based block

install (sideload) the extension below [1] and set the chrome flags noted in the readme. It will provide a near native chrome extension installation experience. workarounds to install extensions were a major PITA till I found this [1] https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

Ungoogled Chromium comes without web store support. Once you’ve installed this plugin you can install other plugins like you’re used to: https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store.

For those who are required (or prefer) to use a Chromium-based browser, you might want to give ungoogled-chromium [0] a shot. I switched recently based on a recommendation from a HN reader, and so far it has been a surprisingly seamless transition. I have yet to encounter any issues aside from being unable to install extensions directly from the Chrome Web Store, which was easily remedied by first installing the chromium-web-store extension [1]. My biggest gripe is that there are no 'official' binaries, so you'd either have to build your own or trust the user-submitted builds, though apparently the project owner is currently working on setting up an official build server [2].

Not sure if having to use an extension is a dealbreaker for you but this one allows you to 1) Install extensions from the Chrome web store 2) Update them https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

I use ungoogled-chromium for sites that don't behave well on Firefox (due to needing third-party cookies and so on). I find the extension[0] allowing for the installation and updating of Google Chrome App Store extensions to be immensely valuable. [0] https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store
