The only problem with Ungoogled that makes it "not ideal for a normal human" is that fact that it is still cumbersome af to download it. Regular people don't know github and how to click on "show all assets" and pick the right build.
Isn't installing extensions in it also a pain, since the Google webstore doesn't let you install from it?
I guess to answer my own question, I looked it up - there's an extension to let you do that alongside some flag changes, so I guess not too bad... But it's another step on the list of things you'd want to do as a user
Yeah that extension should be shipped with the browser to make things easier.
Is https://download-chromium.appspot.com/ not good enough?
I don't use this as a my main browser though, just for testing. I don't recommend Chromium backends due to Google control over it.
That's not Ungoogled Chromium, at all. Not even close.
Right, is https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium then? Take like 4 clicks to get a working AppImage.
Do you not realize that regular users may struggle to install extensions without the extension store? This is because ungoogled Chromium lacks that feature.
Not a problem in Vivaldi, you can install even pure scripts as extension, without the need of an Userscript Manager, like TamperMonkey or similar. Due to the great amount of features, most extension from the Chrome Store are anyway redundant.
No I did not and I'm not sure what you imagine "regular users" might be. I feel that if someone goes the extra length to get their browser outside of a store, they can do the same with extensions, is it extravagant?
