Try adding Chaotic AUR. It has most of the AUR programs pre-compiled. Garuda uses the Choatic AUR for their distro.
this exactly
I also use chaotic AUR for a lot of the AUR related stuff
@Xeno The Strange *Chaotic*
8:56 "I need all those things to make a good browser". This reflects sadly on the state of the web. The fact that web has gotten so bad that we need extensions like ublock origin to make things tolerable is honestly kinda terrifying. I miss the "good days" before the web was the corporate profit center that it is now. Heck, I tried to read an article on Bloomberg on my phone earlier today and noped out because the screen was so full of modals, ads, and other things demanding my attention that I never saw even the headline.
BTW, I'm a web developer ☹
Honestly, if ads weren't so terrible so as to slow every webpage down, I'd probably keep them up. I want to support people and ensure that they can earn a living. But when it makes my internet feel like dial up, I can't do it
@@TheLinuxCast The other issue is that they are in the way and distracting. If we could somehow standardize on still text and image ads that were never in the middle of content I'd consider turning off my ad-blockers because then it wouldn't be impossible to focus on the content. The final issue, and it's kinda being solved, is tracking and targeted advertisement. I compare that to the cashier at Home Depot saying, "We know you bought a hammer at Target, would you be interested in our collection of screw drivers?" Or even more accurately, "We saw the security footage form the Walmart down the street and noticed you were looking at blue paint samples. Is this shade to your liking? (Queue Vanna White impression, holding paint sample.) We can give you a discount if you want". It's creepy and needs to stop.
One of the best ad blocking tools is an ad blocking DNS on your router. Tried a bunch and the two that really work are AhaDNS and Adgurad's. Both free. I use AhaDNS as primary and Adgurad's as secondary. Also use them on my phone. Also works on your TV dongles if on your router.
UPDATE: as of 04/23/2023 a bin version is on the aur. so you dont have to worry about the compile issue he mentioned.
yea the compile crashing is a bitch lmao
I am using Vivaldi, because didn't find a better alternative yet. However the bloat thing stuff bad but the good thing in vivaldi, you can turn the bloat stuff off: the mail function, news, etc and it will never bother you with it. One of the problem is the browser is not full open source. The browser is fast, the sync capabilities is extremly good. Mostly that's why I didn't find a better alternatives.

Hi, Great video.
For netflix, try changing ur user-agent (with an extension) to something like google chrome.
Keep it Up!
How do I do that? I can't get netflix to work on Ungoogled Chromium. I get error code "M7701-1003" and I also get something that says to allow protected contetn which I've done already.
I use eversync extension available for chrome and Firefox to sync my bookmarks between both browsers
Whats the extension called that hides the download bar?
Is installating chrome extension using registry posible?
What do you think about the Opera browser?
what is that extension you are talking about that disables that horrendous download bar?
It is called "Disable Download Bar"
reason netflix and livestreams don't work in chromium is because the video encoder is not in it due to licensing you will have to build VLC and integrate it into chromium
I too hate chromium's download bar.
This one still got the google smell everywhere.... no way, staying with firefox till the end.
hosts file could be quick solution to block ads
I stopped using Chromium when the sync went away. Now using Firefox primarily.
I can't live with a browser without sync. I daily drive Firefox and nowadays is pretty snappy and has the best hardware video decode support in Linux. Chrome and MS Edge are much faster in browsing in general (animations, opening websites, anything). I don't like that they don't work well on Wayland and need to be run as XWayland which looks blurry on fractional scaling display and have no hardware video decode support on Linux (can activate it on MS Edge with some flags, but it works slower than software, so it's like isn't there).
I had never used it before, but I think i will gove it a try now. I have been using vivaldi, and it's laggy sometimes. I don't want to use FF as I need the developer tools for web development. Ungoogled chromium sounds good even with the long compile time on Arch, as I do yay -Syu at night before going to sleep.
For flatpak theme you could add a override for flatpak to look into your themes directory to apply the theme. You could also run flatpak update so that it can install the theme for flatpak. Your first 10 mins of this video is solved by 2-3 commands on the terminal.
Also you could've just taken the chromium config and put it in .var in your home directory you did not have to do everything manually again. You could've downloaded a flatpak permission manager and given the ungoogled chromium flatpak the access to you entire home directory so that if you restarted the application you would have your setup which was stored in .config where the flatpak cannot see by default.
Next up Falkon browser from KDE
Ungoogle Chromium is compiled on the chaotic aur.
why not to install ungoogled chromium as flatpak?
I say why in the video.
GTK theme
Brave?
I just ran into this trying to install ungoogled chromium from the AUR....nope nope nope.
I honestly don't know why people want to move on from Firefox. I'm primarily a Windows user and was a Chrome user for the longest, I made the switch to FF like a year ago and haven't had any problems with it. I really like it's customization and privacy-oriented approach and pages load just as fast as in Chrome (I have both installed)
Because firefox has telemetry enabled by default, and deletes search results based on political stuff. That's not much freedom
As I said in the video, there are just some sites on the Internet that don't render well in Firefox. I know that's not everyone's experience, but it is for me.
@@TheLinuxCast In my personal experience, the situation with Chrome is even worse than a few sites not rendering well. It crashes randomly and videos are not played smoothly in streaming sites, so it looks like depending the specifics of the environment, some browsers work better than others, which is not surprising.
Idk if this is common, but firefox becomes extremely slugglish when having many tabs opened compared to this browser, like it becomes terribly slow over time
@@jgsource552 firefox is slow compared to chrome, compared to other browsers its normal
There are 2 3rd party repos containing binaries for Arch ^^
I don't use 3rd party repos. If it isn't in the standard AUR then I don't use it.
@@TheLinuxCast It's just a single repo containing ungoogled chromium by the opensuse build system. I think that's fine.
@@TheLinuxCast why?
Ahhh ungoogled chromium. The first thing I ever compiled from source. Lol
@nonetrix because I've never had to. The AUR has always been enough for me.
Try adding Chaotic AUR. x100 :)
Chaotic AUR has a binary
Even Gentoo users use binary version of browsers.
They would be admitted into the lowest level of hell.🤣
Next try Vieb!
I'm using Opera on my linux laptop, windows desktop and android phone. It's fast, efficient, has built-in VPN and ad-blocker and consume less memory than FF.
Opera is even worse than google. A shitty china company bought opera, and more shit you can read everything about it by looking it up.
@@electricz3045 what are the most disadvantages of using Opera than using FF? I'm not interested in political matters.
@downtownswifty can you be more specific?
Instant upvote. You seem like a very critical guy but also very curious.
?!Google stores!? no way.apk is there for a reason.
Why messages disappeared here so fast?
CZcams deletes stuff all the time for no reason.
Yeah I've tried with many browsers and I think Imma just stick to ungoogled chrome tbh. God I wish I could use opera if it wasn't owned by some chinese
This selected have entering
I use 2 different browsers for different situations. For pure performance, optimal rendering and hardware acceleration, I'll use straight Chrome for Linux. Yes, crazy telemetry and such, but nothing beats it in terms of performance. Chromium doesn't come close and there are always tons of broken features/security issues that devs have problems fixing allegedly. Supposedly Debian wasn't even going to include it in the Stable repo because of said issues. For more privacy and customization, ill use Firefox. When Chrome ends ad block support, then I'll reconsider.
I'm probbably one of the few that actually like Chrome. It's performance on Linux is top notch
Yea, if you don't care at all about privacy, its a good choice
I hope you aren't using Google Chrome, but Chromium or ungoogled-chromium.
@@isaacvicente That applies only if you use Google Chrome, which most Linux distributions don't ship. They only have stock Chromium in their repositories, which has the same performance.
@@Reichstaubenminister Yes, but Chromium is still part of Google's monopoly, which means that decisions made for Chromium have to go through the Google team.
@@Reichstaubenminister I currently use Firefox, but I respect Chrome
The problem with using any Chromium is it still contributes to Google's ability to set the standards for the web. As a Brave user this haunts me.
That said, thanks for the tip about an extension to kill that downloads shelf...it annoyed me to no end as well
Whats the extension called that hides the download bar?
Why are you compiling? I expected that you are very familiar with Linux, but I overestimated you. You are unaware of the chaotic-aur repo, from the makers of Garuda Linux. You can add that repo to any Arch-based distro.
Welcome to the Brave side
I've been using regular evil Chrome for a long time.
WHY DOES CZcams HATE MEEEEEE
Legit anytime i say anything nice or helpful my comments get deleted
IDK. You are on the pre approve list, so IDK why it does that. When you have a comment, just email me or drop it in the discord or on Twitter or Mastadon. I'm pretty much everywhere
