ungoogled-chromium is a fork of the Chromium browser that removes all dependencies on Google web services. It aims to retain the default Chromium experience while giving users greater privacy, control, and transparency.

Use cases

• browse the web without any Google service integration
• use a Chromium-based browser that prioritizes privacy and transparency
• run a lightweight, open‑source browser on Linux, macOS, or Windows
• replace standard Chromium with a version that disables telemetry and background requests
• need a drop‑in Chromium replacement for environments that forbid Google connections

When to choose

• When you want the full Chromium feature set but without any Google‑related code or services
• If you require a BSD‑licensed browser for compliance or redistribution
• When manual control over privacy‑related flags and patches is acceptable
• For deployments on privacy‑sensitive systems or networks that block Google domains

When to avoid

• If you rely on Google account sync, sign‑in, or other Google‑specific features
• When you need automatic updates or a hands‑off installation experience
• If you require extensive extension support that depends on Google services
• For users who prefer a browser that ships with built‑in telemetry or usage reporting
