Privacy-wise, this is one of the best browser options out there. The addon installation process is explained in detail on its official site . The project's philosophy is remarkable in its honesty - they do not monetize your privacy concerns like some other projects out there. Ungoogled Chromium doesn't send unsolicited request anywhere and indeed does disable all of Google's spyware. The browser is frequently updated too.
Of course, being de-googled it requires the user to do some things manually. But this is a very small price to pay for not submitting to Google botnet. Absolutely worth it. Usage with privacy enhancing add-ons such as uMatrix, HTTPS Everywhere and Decentraleyes is highly recommended.
One thing to note - it still does suffer from Google's terrible "design" decisions, so there's still that clinically sterile, eye bleeding white material/flat interface by default with poorly organized, crammed menus.
I like ungoogled-chromium because it has no google
Removes everything that connects to Google services (including the "Ad Topics" that would track you in the browser). This is great for privacy! But it also removes things like Safe Browsing and syncing. It's in a weird middle zone: it leaks less data than Chromium or Chrome, but it's less complete than, say, Vivaldi, and while it's lighter weight, it's not as lightweight as Falkon. For me, the gains aren't quite enough to make up for the rough edges and missing features. (YMMV)
privacy-centered and open source
Everything excellent, Just One con that Automatic updates of the browser are not there, We have to manually download them, I mean I do know that due to being privacy-focused, It is not giving them directly but at least there should be an opting method where we can select if we want to receive updates or not.
So far a really good alternative to the beast of google, it requires a little bit of manual installation for extentions but when you are in is running smooth.
The best way to use a Chromium-based web browser! I've been using Firefox as my main web browser for years, and I don't plan on switching to anything else, but sometimes, I need a Chromium-based browser to test some things, and Ungoogled Chromium is the best one out there.
