Description Thomas Capricelli 2016-09-28 18:37:13 UTC
This is definitely the kind of chromium i'd like to have

    https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

And definitely very much "gentooish".

This could either be a different package or a USE flag for current 'chromium' ebuild.
Comment 1 Coacher 2016-09-28 22:30:00 UTC
CC chromium devs to see if they are interested.
Comment 2 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2016-09-29 01:48:07 UTC
Nope, not interested.

Comment 4 Ștefan Talpalaru 2018-09-24 21:57:33 UTC
www-client/ungoogled-chromium-69.0.3497.100.1 is available in my overlay: https://github.com/stefantalpalaru/gentoo-overlay
Comment 5 Alex Efros 2018-10-24 06:49:18 UTC
Another one is in https://gitlab.com/chaoslab/chaoslab-overlay

Mike, can you please explain why "not interested"? Ins't main reason to have chromium ebuild in portage is to get some sort of "ungoogled" version of chrome for people who dislike chrome because it's "too much googled"? From this point of view provided ungoogled-chromium sounds like straight way forward same direction.

URL update: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
