Ungoogled Chromium 150.0.7871.46 has been released, continuing its mission to eliminate Google services from the browser by employing domain substitution and code patching techniques. This latest build disconnects approximately 50 background connections to Google, including services like Safe Browsing and spell-check downloads, while updating through various platform-specific channels. However, users must sacrifice certain features reliant on Google services, such as auto-updates for extensions and microphone speech recognition, which can complicate the browsing experience. The release is part of a larger movement towards open-source software that prioritizes privacy and independence from major tech companies
