iridium has some delay with google
but its fine unless you use linux and your pc its crap
crap = bad cpu <= 8K at passmark + ram shortage <=8GB and <7.2K HDD
PD
for get some peace with chromium i reccomend this
run with this command chromium --no-sync --disable-reading-from-canvas
install this addon https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webrtc-network-limiter/npeicpdbkakmehahjeeohfdhnlpdklia + ublock origin + https://github.com/laktak/vanilla-chrome
at linux add these before type the first command firejail first command comes here * and **optionally* add --proxy-server=socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 for use tor or change this flag for use sock proxies, if you've it
I do this for two reasons:
- Mistyping or miscopying a URL will lead to a search, which I find annoying
- Certain custom domain names (whether they are defined in /etc/hosts or a local DNS server) will also end up causing a search (at least historically).
If you want to, you can take out this line here and build to remove this change.
- On windows 8.1, use a batch script, chocolatey or chrlauncher.
- On GalliumOS, use the Ubuntu Software Center and Update Manager or this PPA https://launchpad.net/~canonical-chromium-builds/+archive/ubuntu/stage
EDIT: https://wiki.galliumos.org/Web_Browser Chromium is the default browser so it is "auto" updated.
The maintainers on Chocolatey update Chromium stable very fast: https://chocolatey.org/packages/chromium/75.0.3770.100
Dont use stuff like Irdium they take ages to update which is a security nightmare. The only chromium fork with “better privacy” and quick Updates is Brave.
It seems you cannot. On Windows and Mac, you must re-compile Chromium to disable WebRTC with "enable_webrtc = false" argument. I think it is similar for Android. I know uBlock Origin can help you too: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Prevent-WebRTC-from-leaking-local-IP-address
Not sure if there is a way to auto-update chromium. The best chance is to use an extension that sniffs for updates or a stand-alone program Chromatic that downloads/installs. I used this in the past but eventually the repository tree gets changed, negating the usefulness.
Sorry. VLC 3.0.3 is not available for your 32-bit distrib via Snappy. :/
Use the Lubuntu software manager or APT. In this case, it will be the 3.0.2 version of VLC.
>the software updater can handle the Chromium updates well. You also agree?
Yes I agree. Lubuntu uses the Ubuntu software repositories. Why would it change?
> the apt method will be disbanded soon
I do not know. When?
Sure you can use snappy to install and update Chromium. https://snapcraft.io/chromium
Give me time, I am trying your Lubuntu version in Virtualbox. ;)
Would Firefox be an option? or would you still have privacy concerns?
I don't think you can get around the flash problem unless you're using Chrome, or figure out some kind of auto updater service.
A updater script using Chocolatey might work, but then you'd still need to make sure it works with pepper flash, unless you're using firefox. You'll also want to open a command prompt with admin access and run "cinst firefox flashplayer" and just type 1 for each package so it will update both of them. so that chocolatey has firefox and flashplayer to update. If you have access to your dad's PC, a batch script that calls chocolatey, updates firefox and flash player automatically, then closes the command prompt, shouldn't be too hard.
If you know how to create a batch script, making a batch script that runs "cup all", then closes couldn't be that hard to set up as a task in windows task scheduler. After you've set up firefox and Flash Player through chocolatey, anyway.
Switch to Google Chrome if you want to keep using 14.04, since I imagine they'll keep supporting 14.04 until whenever.
You'll probably need to update to a newer version of ubuntu to get updates to chromium from Ubuntu, since it doesn't look like they support current versions of Chromium in Trusty.

/u/someguynamedjohn13's comment should tell you how to do it from a terminal.
> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
If you prefer a GUI, try this guide
Hi, StartPage here. Using the add-on option in Chrome achieves the same result as adding the search string manually. The search string you mention is correct. When the search string does not appear automatically, this is because the user isn’t on the StartPage.com homepage (e.g. trying to add the search string from the instructions page, or, for example, from startpage.com/eng will not work).
If you email our support team, we would be happy to help: .
Thank you for caring about privacy and using StartPage.com!
Well I'm sorry I couldn't help you more~
If you're interested, I have what I believe is the most exhaustive list of web browsers (and applications that can be used as web browsers) in a text file on my Dropbox. There aren't a lot of material browsers out there right now, unfortunately. But that doesn't mean there isn't something else that might be more your speed.
Oh, there's also Maxthon Nitro but it actually intentionally doesn't support extensions.
Even with the latest stable I'm getting, (what feels like) the same amount of "Aw, Snap!" I tried abandoning chrome for the latest stable firefox and I'm getting the same problem. Even 72.0.3626.122 is still delivering the same rate of failure and user experience failure. (I'm falling back to https://surf.suckless.org while Chromium fixes this.)
It seems that both Chrome and Firefox browsers are seriously suffering from developeritis: (Where the default behaviour is what a developer wants.) As a user I do not want my tab to go blank or provide a nice "oh shucks, tells us what went wrong so we can fix it." I want the default to be for the tab to freeze its content so that I can continue reading, (or at least take a screenshot). If the devs want to add UI feedback then have an obnoxious toaster inform the user, (but please let the power users disable that in preference for something unobtrusive, like having the favicon change to a tiny cute scull-n-crossbones.) Providing feedback to those that have failed to write code that does not break, is the last thing that I want when I've just spent an hour writing a comment and just before I post it, the tab "crashes", (though obviously the feedback option in Firefox has its place in the eco system.)
> is Ungoogled Chromium 100% open source?
Yes. 100%
> Does it receive security updates just as Chrome does?
Yes. Because Chrome is based on the free and open-source Chromium project. Security updates are for Chromium. So Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera and other Chromium-based browsers have them.
> If so, how could it be open source?
Because ungoogled-chromium is based on Chromium.

Yeah I know your pain. I develop ungoogled-chromium, and it was very laborious in the beginning on it since a lot of the changes required reading lots of source code and patching a lot of them. And this labor never ends, since changes and refactoring is constantly happening in-between major version updates. Take for example this patch (which I wrote originally but Inox patchset now includes).
I was going to ask how you managed to get cross-compiling to work, but if it's really hacky, I don't think I would want to increase my burden with more patches. (Although it is a requested feature, it's not essential to ungoogled-chromium's goals so it's a lower priority.)
EDIT: And the fact that the people working on Chromium are Google employees, it's not too surprising that there's not much going on in the IRC channel. Most open-source projects aren't developed by some employees for the benefit of the company; their primary means of communication is through IRC or some mailing list.
