Add many new command-line switches and chrome://flags entries to configure disabled-by-default features.Strip binaries from the source code (known as binary pruning see docs/design.md for details).In other words, no connections are attempted to the qjz9zk domain. This feature is implemented by replacing many Google web domains in the source code with non-existent alternatives ending in qjz9zk (known as domain substitution see docs/design.md for details), then modifying Chromium to block its own requests with such domains. This feature is a fail-safe measure for the above, in case Google changes or introduces new components that our patches do not disable.

In short, Chromium is the open-source engine and framework that Google Chrome is derived from. This does not necessarily mean that Chromium is Google Chrome. This also does not at all mean that Chromium, as it is, is a private alternative to Google Chrome. This gap is exactly where Ungoogled Chromium steps in. Ungoogled Chromium is what its name implies it is Chromium stripped of its dependencies on Google web services such as "Safe Browsing" and Google Location Service. This improves your online privacy because it totally eliminates the "phoning home" to Google servers - something that even regular Chromium does.įor example, "Safe Browsing" sends data of the sites you visit to Google to ensure that these sites are "safe." This feature sounds good, but if you follow your standard internet safety checklists, you'll be pretty good at avoiding obviously "unsafe" sites.
