Ungoogled Chromium
A brief list of steps taken to install and properly configure Ungoogled Chromium for pure web development testing purposes on macOS.
I’ve finally switched back to Ungoogled Chromium for web dev testing purposes. Here’s a brief list of the steps I followed to get it done. Installation on macOS happens through Homebrew. Once completed the browser can be found in /Applications/
.
brew install --cask eloston-chromium
I later customized a few Chrome flags:
#extension-mime-request-handling
set to always prompt for install so that I can install extensions from.crx
files.#show-avatar-button
set to never.#read-later
set to disabled.#side-panel
set to disabled.
After downloading uBlock Origin, I installed it by dragging the .crx
file onto browser window. Then, I imported uBlock settings from Firefox. My localhost
was added to the bookmarks. Since Ungoogled Chromium is already set to clear cookies and cache when all the windows are closed, and also no password suggestions, autofill, phone-home etcetera, I didn’t have to go through the settings to polish things.
