The latest update of Ungoogled Chromium, version 146.0.7680.164-1, focuses on removing Google web service dependencies while maintaining the core browsing experience for users seeking more control over their privacy. Although the update includes new privacy features, most of them remain disabled by default to allow users to customize their security settings. Safe Browsing is also disabled by default, leaving users vulnerable to phishing unless they re-enable it manually, which emphasizes transparency over convenience. Installation instructions vary by operating system, with official repositories providing safer options than third-party binaries that may compromise authenticity

The latest ungoogled-chromium update strips out Google web service dependencies while keeping the core browser experience mostly unchanged for users who want more control. Privacy tweaks are packed in but stay disabled by default because the developers prefer letting users configure their own security rather than guessing for them. Official repositories on most systems provide safe installation paths though grabbing third party binaries is asking for trouble since authenticity cannot be guaranteed. Safe Browsing gets disabled by default which leaves the browser vulnerable until users decide otherwise.
