What is Ungoogled Chromium?
This open-source browser is a modified version of Google's Chromium, the basis for the popular Chrome web browser. It aims to remove Google's integration and enhance user privacy, control, and transparency. The modifications address a range of issues, such as the presence of background services that communicate with Google servers even without a user account or API keys. The standard Chromium build process also relies on Google-provided scripts and binaries, which this variant seeks to replace or eliminate
