Chromium

In need of a Chrome browser? It's best to use the ungoogled-chromium. Binaries are available here, also for Windows.

For mobile, you could go with Cromite or a customly cleansed Mozilla Firefox mobile application called Fennec.

How to use extensions

If you like to use extensions, you need to follow installation instructions on the 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.

Useful is probably at least at least the uBlock extension. Also see the configuration ublock.txt.

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
