What I mean by that 2nd point in the above sentence, is that you might start seeing more extensions related to 'privacy' once you download a privacy related extension.

This means that if you download a privacy related extension straight from the web store, 1) this gets directly linked your google account, which is subject to Google's privacy policy and 2) feeds some information straight to Google. This information can be relatively harmless, but we know how hard Big Tech mines any bit of information available.įor example, with the Chrome Web Store, you can only download extensions if you have and are signed into a Google account. Naturally, when you install apps and extensions from any kind of web store directly, you're trading some of your information.

Installing extensions by hand or simply bypassing the Chrome Web Store, can improve your privacy.

This is probably the biggest reason for most users choosing to install extensions manually. Why would you ever choose to install an extension by hand?Įxact individual reasons vary, but in general you can boil it down to a couple of points: UnGoogled Chromium is a very decent web browser for all users that like Chromium, but would love to use it without the built-in Google services. It will also disable Google-domain-related functionality, like Google Host Detector, Google Cloud Messaging, Google Hotwording, and Google URL tracker. The application’s purpose is to reduce the amount of communication between Google and their Browser, for protecting the privacy of the user, reducing the data usage, and besides cutting the hidden data exchange between the PC and Google servers, it will also substitute various web domains in the source code, strips binaries from the source code, forces pop-ups into tabs, and more. UnGoogled Chromium is a very reliable Chromium spin-off that was designed to provide users with all of Chromium’s capabilities, except the integration with Google Services, which means a highly transparent browser when it comes to terms of privacy and control.
