Thank you for pointing me in the right direction (& apologies for the naivety □) I'll stick with Software Center & Snap Store. But honestly finding out Snap Store has its own GUI to handle such things resolves my concerns. I exclusively used yay via terminal to install and update everything, in an effort to keep it stable. I'm here from a broken Arch install after 2 months (6/7/21 - 8/9/21 RIP). But I think I'll go with Ungoogled considering development seems much quieter on Libre's side, I can hardly find people talking about or using it. No autoupdates for either on Windows/Mac, for some reason. Honestly I'm probably the last person who needs such a fortressy browser like Librewolf or Ungoogled but I like the peace-of-mind they provide, and the superficial idea that it makes me feel like I'm getting the most out of my Linux installation. Ungoogled and Heroic (Epic) Launcher are the only apps I need that aren't in the main repos. One of the reasons I rarely use Slackos is the learning curve involved if I want to use applications which work OOTB under 'Ubuntus'.I was under the impression the Snap/flatpak methods were just ways to do a quick local install of app packages, I assumed I would have to constantly be checking manually for updates myself. I've seen it enough and reproduced it enough times so I'm sure it's real.įor those of us who haven't memorized how could you post a link or, better yet, add a thread to this Browser & Internet Section showing how.Īlong the same lines, your previous post mentioned " I added the libraries required for the slackware derivs (same additional 6 lib package used for SlimJet or regular chromium" could you make it clear which. 'Safe browsing' is turned off in Slimjet for this test. There are a few sites (political, not porn) that it refuses to open in the SlimJet, gives a 'page can't be found sorry that's all I can tell you', but switch to ungoogled and it immediately opens correctly. Interestingly, gurgle doesn't only censor in its search engine. SwissCow and metager both work well enough but I've used ddgd for so long that I'm hooked on its look. Opens quickly, nothing I've seen that it wouldn't open or play, and no 'AwSnaps'. Runs well under LxPupSc64 on my i5 based laptops circa 2012. ![]() I changed the launch scripts slightly so it would use the symlinked preconfigured spot directory on my data partition, changed the launch-as-spot script to use peebees system for changing ownership on downloaded files to root on exit, and added a line at the end of that script to delete its' cache files on exit as the ungoogled chromium doesn't have (that I could find) a way to limit cache size. Enjoy!Ī week or so now using Un-Googled Chromium alongside SlimJet 28.0.3.0 (regular flavor chromium based). (See 'explainer' script for information about these). Click to enter, click 'LAUNCH' to fire it up. Instructions as always d/l, unzip, locate where you want. The developer, "Marmaduke", has built this along the same principles as most of the 'clone' devs.against very much older dependencies, unlike 'vanilla' Chromium (which is always built against the very newest of everything).Īn explanation for how to add extensions to Ungoogled_Chromium can be found here:-įor anyone interested, and whenever practically possible, I will attempt to maintain as up-to-date a package as I can, here:. This build, in addition to including all the VAAPI, hardware acceleration stuff OOTB, also includes WideVine as standard. You need to sign-in to every web-site manually, every time you visit - so something like KeePassXC will come in useful. You can go to the WebStore, and view any extension or theme you want.but the 'Download/Install' button doesn't exist. Please be aware that since this is disconnected from Google completely, a lot of stuff you take for granted in the other 'clones' isn't functional here. Slacko Pups may not be able to run it, since I know Micko tends to use older versions of deps'n'stuff than the 'buntu Puppies.need feedback on this, guys. ![]() ![]() This version will now run in ALL the "official" Puppies. Uncle Mike's got something here that should please some of you.įollowing an exchange of info & ideas with Mikeslr last night - and bearing in mind how much some of you distrust Big Brother! - here is a 'portable' build of Ungoogled Chromium.
