Ungoogled version for legacy #106

Closed c33s closed 3 months ago

c33s commented 3 months ago

coming from ungoogled chromium i am used to have a non-working google app store page and other things which don't work out of the box. switching to thorium made me notice that the app store is working without any problems. checking with the faq i read that it will never be a full ungoogled app.

my feature request would be to release a ungoogled version for thorium-legacy as it would be the only source (i know) with a chrome version which works on win7 and is ungoogled.

i would oppose your following statement from the faq:

... contains no personally identifiable information (PII) that could be used to identify you.

as the browser connects with my ip address to the google service and an ip address counts as PII (even if the eu would not count it as identifier, it is a very good identifier from a reality/technical point of view).

from this point of view i would also love to see an ungoogled version in the regular version of thorium

@gz83 isn't this a valid request for win7? the faq answer doesn't really apply as there are no alternatives (=ungoogled chromium) for win7 any more.

FAQ Q4 has answered your question

c33s commented 3 months ago

i explicitly quoted a text from faq q4 which i think is not correct (PII) and brought up the special case for win7.
