What Hacker News says

Currently exploring a return to Gentoo here, for "reasons". My solution for a while (even before Gentoo) has been <https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-por...> It builds Chromium in a Docker container using Debian and spits out an AppImage. The AppImage seems to run fine on Gentoo, so I've been using that. Note that for some time, I've had to patch their build process (it fails to pull a GIT repo in my environment -- so I have to shell into the container and run the pull manually). I've considered making this the basis for a Gentoo package... but I'll likely stick with my current process (or just use ungoogled-chromium's binaries).
In Last rites for Gentoo's Chromium package
ungoogled-chromium (https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-por...) still supports MV3/uBO and is de-Googled. However, this paper[1] suggests that uBO Lite (MV3) which is still supported in the latest Chrome/chromium browsers, works at least as well for almost all users as the original (MV2) uBO, and, in some cases even better than before... so it's really no cause for alarm IMO.
