Installing and tweaking Chromium on Mobian and Arch

[C0ffeeFreak]

Thanks for posting this, I've been meaning to do the same.

I recommend using Ungoogled Chromium to avoid as much of the Google BS as possible. Just install `com.github.Eloston.UngoogledChromium` instead of the regular version.

Using it has given me hope. I know Google is awful, but the browser works so well that it has shown me that the Pinephone can run decently well once the software optimization improves.

Using Firefox is, honestly, a painful experience ATM. Chromium starts in less than 3 seconds and runs surprisingly well.

Glad I could help. I am also surprised at how well it runs on the Pinephone. With Chromium you can have your access to Google and your privacy because the phone doesn't have Google services installed and access to the tracking SOCs. Only when you use the browser can Google track you and that's limited to your activity on that browser if you don't give it location permissions. It works out pretty well for me because my phone number is a Google Voice number and I use Gmail and I can access that in Chromium. I am a Google Product Expert working in Google Fi, Voice and Wear. The Pinephone is a breath of fresh (FREE) air. I really hope Linux phones take off. For privacy sake.

If it helped you please rate me +?
