Degoogle Chromium help
(lemmy.ml)
Greetings! I have recently ditched google and went with privacy focused alternatives. Such as SearXNG, Invidious, Lemmy etc.
However, while i was using degoogled chromium, i cant install extensions.
Is there any way i can install extensions on Degoogled Chromium? (ik this isnt the right place to ask but eh)
Thanks a lot!
Chromium has its advantages too.

Like what?
When website doesn't work on Firefox.
Chrome is the next Internet Explorer.
Pro tip: when a website doesn't work with Firefox, go download a user agent changer and switch it to chrome and watch the website work perfectly on Firefox lol
Oh? Recommendations? I just said I'm waiting to get to the library to bid on a couple of municipal projects bc of this "must use chrome" nonsense.
User-agent switcher is what I use. My only issue so far is that it messes up websites that use recaptcha or cloudflare "Are you a robot" challenges sometimes.
Thanks so much. I'll give it a try!
Chromecast
Can you really consider yourself degoogled if you use a Chromecast??
Then have chromium installed for chromecast only and Firefox installed for normal browsing.
That's what I do, just pointing out that it's factually incorrect to say there's no point to chromium. Everyone's just proselytizing, probably the same nerds who mock apple fanboys.
Dont use chromecast
grayjay only?
Compatibility, security, UI, permission features.
I've used chrome as a browser for almost my entire life. It's kinda nice to still have the chrome i know and love, but with no google spyware.
I didn't drink or have sex for a big proportion of my life (until 16). Was quite happy to ditch old habits.
The thing is, chrome was probably built for spying.
True.
In this case, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
