Why not just use Ungoogled-Chromium?
- paco3346 5y agoI switched because Google removed the ability to log in and sync settings, history, password, etc. (I realize that in this case I'm directly giving Google my data) but it was a super nice feature. Brave's Sync v2 works decently well.
- lorlou 5y agoIt doesn't seem to include an automatic updater.
- k4rli 5y agoSimply use a package manager.
- fastball 5y ago[insert link to infamous HN Dropbox comment here]
- nyberg 5y agoUse GNU GUIX to manage it. It's been packaged for quite a while now
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoThis is the second reference to that in this thread. It's getting pretty old and I don't even think it's relevant
- andai 5y agoYeah just download it over FTP bro!
- jsf01 5y agoThird party untrusted binaries last I checked
- gruez 5y agoYou can build it yourself, but even with a midrange desktop it'll take you at least an hour to build. A laptop would probably take 2-3 at least.
- ben940830298432 5y agoAre you going to read the source to confirm nothing malicious was added?
- gruez 5y agoThere's around 4.9k lines of python code and 15.9k lines of patches. That doesn't seem that hard to scrutinize. From a threat model point of view you should be more worried about supply chain attacks from all the third party programs/libraries you have installed on your computer.
- j-james 5y agoYou can pull trusted binaries from OpenBuildService now.
- andai 5y agoI tried this a year ago. Had some trouble first downloading this (afaik the project only provided sources, not binaries, so you had to trust some random guy's website to download the .exe), then it randomly crashed within 5 minutes every time I launched it, then I deleted it.
