Ungoogled Chromium 156.0.8078.73-1 Ships with Chrome 156's 353 Security Fixes
Ungoogled-chromium 156.0.8078.73-1 has been released, inheriting Chromium 156's massive 353-fix security haul that's roughly ten times larger than Chrome 155's. The privacy-focused fork strips every dependency on Google web services while keeping the vanilla Chromium experience intact. Most of the fixes are worth caring about, though the trade-off is real: no auto-updater, no Google Sync, and extensions need a manual workaround. You can grab it via the AUR, a PPA, a Flatpak, or Homebrew, but the safest move is still building from source.

Ungoogled Chromium 156.0.8078.73-1 has been released, featuring 353 security fixes inherited from Chrome 156, making it a significant upgrade over the previous version. This privacy-focused browser removes all Google dependencies while maintaining the core Chromium experience, but users must forego conveniences like automatic updates and Google services. The project, initiated by a hobbyist named Eloston in 2015, is a community-driven effort that has grown to around 28,100 stars on GitHub, with builds available across multiple platforms, though the latest version is currently Linux-only. Users seeking enhanced privacy control will find Ungoogled Chromium effective, but they must accept a trade-off in usability, as features like auto-updating and seamless extension integration are not included
