Versions:
ungoogled-chromium is a specialized privacy-centric Web Browsers tool that repackages the open-source Chromium engine to eliminate every background connection to Google’s infrastructure. Instead of creating a conventional fork, the ungoogled-chromium Authors distribute a curated collection of configuration flags, patches, and build scripts that strip out proprietary service hooks, substitute system-provided libraries for bundled binaries, and expose additional switches that give administrators finer control over telemetry, Safe-Browsing pings, component updaters, and other opaque subsystems. The result is a neutral, transparent browser suited to security audits, offline deployments, regulated environments, or any scenario where continuous silent data exchange with Google is unacceptable. Version 146.0.7680.177—one of 211 documented releases since the project started—tracks the upstream Chromium milestone within days, so users receive current HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and WebAssembly capabilities without the usual dependency on Google’s web services. Enterprise packagers can pre-seed policies, extensions, and certificates; privacy advocates can audit the exact patch set; and developers can embed the engine in kiosk or appliance applications confident that no background phoning-home remains. Because the modifications are strictly limited to disabling, replacing, or documenting hidden behaviors, everyday features such as sync, translation, or autofill simply become opt-in rather than removed outright, preserving general usability while enhancing transparency. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
