Ungoogled Chromium Debian is a community-driven packaging and build configuration repository aimed at bringing a privacy-first version of the Chromium browser to Debian and Debian-based Linux distributions. Unlike standard Chromium builds, this project strips out Google-specific integrations such as telemetry, automatic update mechanisms, Google account synchronization, and proprietary services, giving users a browser build that retains full Chromium web engine capability without sending data to upstream Google servers by default. The repository provides Debian packaging scripts, patch sets, and configuration files that automate building ungoogled-Chromium in the Debian packaging ecosystem, ensuring the resulting .deb packages are compatible with Debian Stable, Testing, and derivatives like Ubuntu or Mint. Maintainers tailor build flags and apply local patches so that common Debian package tools like dpkg and apt can handle installation, upgrades, and dependency resolution.
