You can build Chrome without this by setting `enable_hangout_services_extension` to false. Of course, then none of the WebRTC stuff on google.com will work.

- ramesh31 2y agoOne does not simply "build chrome".
- tgv 2y agoChromium has ungoogled builds: https://chromium.woolyss.com/ https://chromium.woolyss.com/
- ranger_danger 2y agoyes but that's Chromium, not Chrome (which is proprietary). I think that's what OP was saying
- mananaysiempre 2y agoNot necessarily. Building even Chromium can be... unpleasant[1]. [1] https://liberda.nl/weblog/heres-your-copium/ https://liberda.nl/weblog/heres-your-copium/
- lifesaverluke 2y agoThe process is well documented :-)
- dudus 2y agoFWIW I once tried and failed to compile Chrome. My machine didn't have enough RAM to compile chrome at the time. Even though it was able to fully compile any other software I threw at it.
- lifesaverluke 2y agoYeah, you need a big machine. I provide Chromium builds for AWS Lambda, compiling on a large EC2 instance.
- sebazzz 2y agoIs that special to the Chrome codebase, or inherent to the fact that a web browser is now basically an operating system by itself?
- poincaredisk 2y agoI think parent's point was that Chrome is not open-source, chromium is.
- ramesh31 2y agoBut also this. Compiling Chromium from source is a nontrivial task, even for a senior dev, and requires an extremely powerful system.
- recursive 2y agoJust like the US tax code is well documented?
- daft_pink 2y agoi just want to know if this is built into arc to be honest.
- autoexec 2y agoNo WebRTC would be a win, but people can just use firefox and disable WebRTC globally.
