# Chromium

In need of a Chrome browser? It's best to use the [ungoogled-chromium](https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium). 
Binaries are available [here](https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/), also for Windows.
For ArchLinux there are pacman repositories available [here](https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux), 
pick one and set it up to be able to install the ungoogle-chromium as binary.

## How to use extensions

If you like to use extensions, you need to follow installation instructions on the [chromium-web-store](https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store) 
project to install the web store extension.

Ensure to set `chrome://flags/#extension-mime-request-handling` to `Always prompt for install` if you like to have the possibility to just click on the 
"Add extension" button in the Chrome Web Store like you're used to do.

## Defaults

There are some defaults set, e.g. delete all browser data on quitting chromium. Change that if you like.

## Useful flags

Head over to `chrome://flags` and set the following if you like:

```
chrome://flags/#extension-mime-request-handling     Always prompt for install
chrome://flags/#smooth-scrolling                    Disabled
chrome://flags/#enable-parallel-downloading         Enabled
chrome://flags/#tab-hover-cards                     Disabled
chrome://flags/#quiet-notification-prompts          Enabled
```
