Description of problem:

Hi, to provide an alternative to Firefox and more respectful of the user privacy than Chromium, what about proposing ungoogled-chromium in MGA repo?

As Chromium is already proposed, it might be a good base to build on.

That being said, I tried to compile it on my machine and I miserably failed...

Actually, I have successfully passed the urpmi --buildrequires  step to install chromium dependencies. But I even failed to compile the Chromium source provided in MGA8 repo using rpmbuild -ba . The compilation starts and then fails with an error about 5 minutes later. It is beyond my current competence to interprete this error...

Thanks for considering my proposal.

Thank you for the suggestion, and the work you have put in to try it.

ungoogled-chromium looks interesting for people who want to steer clear of Google. What is the origin of it? Can you say to what extent really is un-Googled?
As an alternative to Firefox, people always overlook Falkon; it is pretty good, but has some holes.
I once looked into Opera (nickname Chropera), and found the binaries stiff with Google references.

Assigning this globally, but CC'ing the packagers most associated with chromium-browser-stable.

Hi

Just to inform that this package is now ready. :)

As explained here: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29634
I have packaged chromium-95.0.4638.69 on MGA8.

Then, building on it, I have also packaged ungoogled-chromium for MGA8.

Is there a chance then to get it into MGA repo? 
Nicolas, it is ready for your review ;)

Hi. I have been packaging it for about 1.5 years, based on our own Chromium.
I guess this idea is not ready to be added to the Mageia official repo. 
It is available in a community repo for the interested ones.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX
