Greetings! I have recently ditched google and went with privacy focused alternatives. Such as SearXNG, Invidious, Lemmy etc.
However, while i was using degoogled chromium, i cant install extensions.
Is there any way i can install extensions on Degoogled Chromium? (ik this isnt the right place to ask but eh)
Thanks a lot!

ditch chromium and use firefox
Chromium has its advantages too.

Like what?
Chromecast
Can you really consider yourself degoogled if you use a Chromecast??
When website doesn’t work on Firefox.
Chrome is the next Internet Explorer.
Wait… You have encountered a website that doesn’t work on Firefox? :/ Like finding a needle in a haystack.
This is more common than you think. It’s usually not broken entirely, but firefox constantly breaks styling/css stuff on websites I use and build. I’ve had a few sites ask me to switch browsers because firefox doesn’t support x y or z feature too
edit: for example, WebGPU support is currently lacking in FF https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/wiki/Implementation-Status
I use firefox, but I’m not blind to its few problems
Never noticed an issue and if websites using only chrome supported features, it’s an issue with the website, not the browser.
That’s one way to look at it. If a website works perfectly on chromium, but not firefox, why is this the website’s fault?
Yeaaah i fking hate it “Please install google chrome to use this feature” nah, Imma skip it entirely
If I were you and needed to use a chromium based browser, I would go for brave with maximum privacy settings turned on and all the Crypto shit and brave “features” turned off. Ungoogled chromium is a good project but its not as refined as Brave is. See here: https://privacytests.org/
If I were you I’d go for Librewolf or Mullvad browser if you dont need Chromium. The reason people say this is because Google has a sort of monopoly on the browser space right now as Chromium takes up Almost 80% of the marketshare, meaning that Google will ultimately get to decide what features live, and what features die. If Chromium market share was down at 40% or so, it wouldnt matter if you used Brave or not, but thats the reality we live in.
Don’t use Brave. Brave is virtually a spyware, just less invasive compared to Chrome: https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/brave
