Interesting to see this project exists. I thought Chromium was essentially |
| 8 |
un-Googled, but obviously there's more there to take place to strip Google's |
| 9 |
tentacles from the browser. |

According to: |

The overlay they mention is pf4public: |

I'd be also interested to know if Falkon/QtWebEngine is more or less /un- |
| 29 |
Googled/ than the ungoogled-chromium browser. |

I've gradually grown reluctant to spend many-many hours emerging Chromium and |
| 32 |
have removed it from a number of my older boxen. Especially since the 'jumbo- |
| 33 |
build' USE flag was dropped, Chromium's compilation takes twice as long as the |
| 34 |
many hours it used to take. I'd rather not waste that much electricity when |
| 35 |
QtWebEngine is built as a default with Plasma/KDE anyway. |
