Chrome Extensions 无法使用

1. chrome://flags/#extension-mime-request-handling → Always prompt for ins
2. Download Crx NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store: Allows adding extensions from chrome web store on ungoogled-chromium. Also adds semi-automatic extension updating.

New tab setting

• chrome://flags/#custom-ntp
• chrome://new-tab-page
• chrome://newtab

I really love Brave’s homepage with RSS, so I found some alternatives:

• https://github.com/deepjyoti30/startpage
• https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/manganum-1-new-tab-for-ch/jbfeongihppeenfnaofmdeikahaefljd?hl=en-US
• https://github.com/deepjyoti30/startpage
  • 这个拓展的配置文件不会刷新, 因为他的配置没有写在 Manifest 里面, 默认他是需要在页面内进行配置的, 也很合理

spotify doesn’t work · Issue #1849 · ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium

wontfix: notifications

1. Native windows notifications
2. Web push application offline
   • depend on Google Cloud Message / Firebase Cloud Messaging

Push Notifications used GCM service for client notification.For example user get unique ID for future notifications. In chrome/browser/push_messaging is located Push notifications implementation. Impossible to have client Push API notification without cloud services by Google (or Mozilla in case of Firefox browser) By the way, currently they migrate to FCM. https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/issues/589

Rather than use Mozilla servers, roll your own. I don’t know if anyone has audited the source for connections to other Mozilla services. https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/issues/1020

You can test notification using https://web-push-book.gauntface.com/demos/notification-examples, go User Data\Default\Platform Notifications to cat log for them. ³

Chromium: Brave deprecated

除了设计得好一点, 没有一点用处, 在 Chromium 的基础上绑定了 Brave Coins 的全套插件, 然后打包释出, 可以说真正的技术点就仅仅是表面套壳的几个插件罢了, 对比 User Data 下产生的数据, 多出来的目录屈指可数

可以看出多出来的只是 Brave (Rewards)Wallet + Brave Ads + Ad Block, 所以感觉 Meaningless. 之前看过的软文 (How To Enable Or Disable Notifications On The Brave Web Browser | PC | 2022 👍 - YouTube & Brave浏览器看广告赚取BAT Token | 完美支持MetaMask钱包 | 比谷歌浏览器快3倍，高度保护用户隐私 - YouTube), 号称打着边挖矿边保护隐私方面, 还把 Brendan Eich 的名号搬出来, 可笑可笑
