Request: Please can you credit Marmaduke, the main developer of your Chromium release?

Hello @crazy-max: I salute your effort to make a portable version of Chromium. 👍
https://github.com/portapps/ungoogled-chromium-portable

Please, can you credit the source of your Chromium releases which is done by Marmaduke (@macchrome)?

Indeed, Marmaduke is the only developer on the Web who compile the latest stable Chromium versions with support of all codecs (H.264, H.265...) and the Widevine plugin. Note: the support of H.265/HEVC (Online audio/video tester) in Chromium is not documented at all. Most of browser does not support it. So it is difficult to reproduce this release.

• His profile: https://github.com/macchrome
• His "ungoogled" releases: https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/releases

The Windows versions from the Eloston repository are all outdated.

• https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/#downloads
• https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/

After that, I can promote your work on our site if you want.
It means a link of your portable release at https://chromium.woolyss.com/ for the corresponding Marmaduke's "ungoogled" release. 😉

Thank you very much.

Contact me in private (https://info.woolyss.com/) if you prefer.

Regards.

Hi @woolyss,

Please, can you credit the source of your Chromium releases which is done by Marmaduke (@macchrome)?

Sure I will add a note in the README, thanks for your input!

[crazy-max]

@woolyss Done.

@crazy-max: Thank you very much. I added a link to your Chromium releases, on our website (near the "Ungoogled" versions). 😉

@woolyss Can you help dispel some misconceptions and make it easy for us to stay informed on the privacy/security aspects of ungoogled-chromium: what are the exact privacy/security differences between Eloston's and Marmaduke's ungoogled-chromium builds?
Thanks!

[woolyss]

@dm17 Please, check your mailbox ;)

@dm17 Please, check your mailbox ;)

Thanks, but I have to say the email did not include anything directly about privacy patch differences between Marmaduke's and Eloston's ungoogled-chromium. Perhaps it is a suggestion to look at the latest patches and just compare them?

[woolyss]

As I said before, Maramaduke uses all patches apart from "Safe Browser".
You can check that for each release:
https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/releases/tag/v87.0.4280.88-r812852-Win64

This release was compiled Friday, December 4, 2020. So, Maramaduke used all latest ungoogled-chromium patches from the Eloston's project (except the safebrowsing patch, like mentioned)
https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/tree/master/patches
https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/commits/master/patches (history of changes)
As you can see the last patch was fixed on December 4, 2020

Hey Jerry, I found this awesome thread to do with deduplicating, streamlining, and optimizing degoogled chromium development efforts: ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium#1395 (reply in thread) Hopefully you can participate as well :)
