Ungoogled Chromium 147.0.7727.116-1 has been released, focusing on the removal of Google dependencies while maintaining a familiar user interface for those who value manual control over privacy features. This version enhances privacy by blocking background requests to Google domains and requires users to manually enable most improvements through configuration settings. Although it sacrifices some conveniences like Safe Browsing and captive portal detection, it offers advanced options for power users who prefer to manage their own browsing environment. The project encourages transparency and user engagement, making it a suitable drop-in replacement for standard Chromium across various operating systems, provided users are willing to navigate its technical configurations

Ungoogled Chromium 147.0.7727.116-1 delivers another round of Google dependency removal while keeping the familiar Chromium interface intact for users who prefer manual control over automated privacy features. The build relies on domain substitution and binary pruning to block background requests, though most enhancements stay disabled until operators manually flip the right switches in chrome://flags. Users will lose some conveniences like Safe Browsing warnings and captive portal detection, but that tradeoff keeps network chatter down and gives power users tighter grip over their browsing environment. The project remains a solid drop-in replacement for Windows, macOS, and Linux, provided administrators are comfortable digging into configuration files rather than expecting a set-and-forget privacy browser.
