Just use Ungoogled Chromium. Why suffer rent seeking crypto shenanigans?

Last I checked, Ungoogled Chromium did not have self-updates, and installing Chrome Extensions was a bit of a chore without a special extension.

You can install extensions normally with a regular Chromium and then uninstall it and use the ungoogled.

That's quite a bit of a chore. Are those extensions ever going to update themselves when there's a security vulnerability?

Not sure if having to use an extension is a dealbreaker for you but this one allows you to

1) Install extensions from the Chrome web store

2) Update them

Automated updates on Windows. That said there is no shortage of Chromium forks with auto update these days.

Why would you trust those random forks? I only use Chromium from authors who have been around for a while.

So, if you want a Google-free Chromium with that...Edge?

I always figured that Edge was meant to be an ironic name.
