Opera is doing a good job of being the world’s first alternative browser optimized for Chromebooks. However, it now seems like a great idea to have a replacement browser readily available on your trusty Chrome OS laptop. While you can easily opt out of Google’s FloC program and continue using Chrome like normal, the whole incident has raised serious concerns regarding the reliability of this browser, which, in most cases, is always top-notch. After this debacle, opinions have been formulating left and right, including from Forbes, that it’s time to ditch Google Chrome for the better. That’s nothing but a flawed concept since many people have recently scrutinized the tech giant for trying to implement FloC, which is Google’s own alternative to the conventional cookies in our browser.

Don't forget to make your bash-scripts executable.īut frankly, I'd recommend that you use Mike Walsh's Ungoogled-Chromium, viewtopic.php?p=11080#p11080 which, unlike Brave, doesn't just steer you away from advertisers the publisher doesn't like to those which it does like or his Iron, viewtopic.However, this does not necessarily mean that the former is the only browser worth looking at in the world. Run-as-spot "$HERE/chrome" -user-data-dir=$HERE/spot/.config/google-chrome -disable-infobars you substitute 'brave' -without the quotes- for 'Chrome' or 'google-chrome' in the above you may be able to use the brave portable under fossa and/or buster. # Wrapper-script to launch Google Chrome browser - Mike Walsh © Jan 2020 (with thanks to Fredx181.) "$HERE/chrome/chrome-pup_NL" within the Chrome folder is the chrome-pup_LN bash script, which reads: # Launcher for 'portable' Google Chrome browser The alternate wrappers come in to parts: Outside of the 'chrome/or what-have-you' folder is a bash-script named LAUNCH_NL (i.e., no libs) which reads: He has since published newer portables which contain alternate 'wrappers' so that they could be used either with fossa or Buster, as well as older puppies.

But I don't think it will run OOTB under fossapup for the same reason that versions of other Chromium-Clones wouldn't run: it's 'builtin' libs are older than those fossapup uses. Mike Walsh published a portable back in July, viewtopic.php?p=859#p859.
