ungoogled-chromium

[irenicus09]

Hi, I've discovered a mod of chromium geared towards privacy and it has caught my attention for a while now.

I understand that they offer binary packages, but what I'm interested in knowing is whether it is possible to use portage to install that from source. Or should I consider compiling it manually from source?

From what I've seen on most gentoo overlays, some of the flags offered by the chromium package with similar features to ungoogled are either a hit or a miss.

I haven't been able to get things working for chromium with the features I wanted which are geared towards privacy and also experimenting on my machine
and waiting 12 hours to get the results is too long in my opinion

Please let me know what you guys think, I'm open to suggestions and feel free to recommend something that works for you.

Thanks

Hey,

you might be interested in installing chromium from pg_overlay. Its in layman. Heres a thread about it,
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1052030.html

There is no patch for ungoogled to chromium-54 at the moment, but Inox and Iridium do work. I wouldnt recommend installing chromium-53, since its old and has vulnerabilities.

Here's my USE flags,

@Juippisi: Okay, so I masked gtk3 in /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask before running it with the same flags as you suggested.

It's compiling at the moment, see you after 12 hours

[irenicus09]

Sorry for the bump, but your custom-cflags got me rekt.

[Juippisi]

You need to grep 'error' or 'failed' from /var/tmp/portage/www-client/chromium-54.0.2840.101/temp/build.log because what you pasted tells absolutely nothing. What CFLAGs / linker are you using? Chromium should build with -flto and clang...

Also does it have to be chromium? I think you can modify Firefox greatly to respect your privacy. If it took me 12 hours to compile something I wouldnt use it, especially if it doesnt compile after one shot.

[irenicus09]

Hmm...I'm typing this from Firefox at the moment

Firefox is okay but I wanted to give Chromium another shot, it kind of felt faster than Firefox on my slower netbook. Especially when loading tabs or sites. Perhaps because it consumes more RAM so things load faster.

Gentoo has taught me patience, I really didn't know what patience was till I went through my first Gentoo install.

See you after 12 hours my friend

Was looking for Ungoogled-Chromium as well and there is an unofficial overlay that worked for me: https://gitlab.com/chaoslab/chaoslab-overlay/tree/master/www-client/ungoogled-chromium. Binary is also provided, if wanted: https://gitlab.com/chaoslab/chaoslab-overlay/tree/master/www-client/ungoogled-chromium-bin.

It's part of the chaoslab oberlay, also including other software. Add it with

There is also an other overlay, PF4Public, which was updated recently:
https://github.com/PF4Public/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/www-client/ungoogled-chromium

And ungoogled-chromium is also available from here:

You can find newer versions here: https://gitlab.com/chaoslab/chaoslab-overlay

Does it compile for you? Version 80 stops compiling with errors.

[PF4Public]

PF4Public thank you for reply and for maintaining this overlay!

The 1st time I installed ungoogled-chromium was version 79.0.3945.117_p1 with default USE flags without any problem.
Then I tried to reinstall same version with USE="widevine", it installed correctly but didn't open with error Trace/breakpoint trap.

Then version 79 changed to 130 at the end and then to current 80.0.3987.87_p1
I tried to install these with default USE flags except widevine flag (also tried with -widevine) but didn't complete compile every time with error.
I get this error with or without ccache enabled

Last installaltion with USE="widevine closure-compile suid -clang" also failed with same I thing error:

[PF4Public]

hariskar, due to parallel execution, the actual building error happened well before '[3644/16582]'. Please either provide the full build log, or more lines, containing the actual error.

I often use a laptop, but almost never use it to build anything. For that I'm using a remote powerful (well, kinda) system. It is for me convenient to first publish a release under testing and build it there. Therefore testing keywords are actually testing. And I have described that in a readme to my overlay. But it seems that as a matter of fact many people use testing by default, which results in them grabbing testing, compiling… till it fails. Hm.. I'm now thinking whether I should use absent keywords for that…

[hariskar]

Thank you for reply.
I am happy to use testing versions even if there is some possibility something to go wrong!
Here is the build.log
