Versions:
ungoogled-chromium is a privacy-focused Web Browser that repackages the open-source Chromium engine to eliminate every background connection to Google’s infrastructure. Instead of creating a conventional fork, the project applies a curated collection of configuration flags, patches, and build scripts that surgically disable or remove telemetry, Safe-Browsing, Google URL pings, component updaters, and other embedded services that routinely exchange data with the vendor. System libraries are preferred over pre-built Google binaries, the source tree is stripped of proprietary blobs, and any feature that reduces user control or transparency is either patched or hidden, all while preserving the familiar Chromium interface and extension ecosystem. The result is a browser that behaves like standard Chromium—supporting modern web standards, WebRTC, Progressive Web Apps, and Chrome extensions—but which never contacts Google servers for profile synchronization, crash reporting, or component delivery. Power users, privacy advocates, developers who need a neutral testing baseline, and enterprises subject to strict data-residency rules therefore rely on ungoogled-chromium for everyday browsing, kiosk deployments, automated testing, and secure research environments where every outbound packet must be accounted for. The current release, version 146.0.7680.71, represents the 207th iterative rebuild since the initiative began, each update tracking upstream Chromium security fixes and feature milestones within hours of publication. ungoogled-chromium is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
