I even play a game that doesnt have native modding support and I just run the community mod patcher .bat using wine, and then the game run like normal through Steam with 80+ mods. Its crazy the shit you can get away with by using Wine and Proton.
Forking isnt a solution, unless you are committed to patching all future security vulnerabilities and adding feature updates on you own. Cryptography is complicated, designing a secure messenger is very complicated. Forking isnt a magic bullet.


Firefox is even more insecure as a Flatpak than Chromium. At least with Chromium using zypak it can use some Flatpak sandboxing (which is still inferior to base)


Project was abandoned like multiple years ago now. Cromite is a fork by one of the contributors and is better than Bromite ever was.


Doesnt come with proper fingerprinting protections or flag hardening. I am not saying ungoogled Chromium is bad, just not a proper replacement for hardened chromium browsers like Cromite or Brave. Ungoogled Chromium is a drop in replacement for Chrome, so it does nearly everything possible to stick with defaults (sans any google connections)


While I agree it would be nice, Flatpak weakens the Chromium sandbox by stopping proper per site isolation. Chromium in Flatpak relies on the zypak server in place of proper strict isolation.


GOS recommends against putting any app that you want notifications from inside the private space. That said, I did the same thing.


You could enable advanced mode I uBlock and then disable “3rd party” in the uBlock popup. Then allow list the few sites you want to see content from.


Varia is a download manager written using GTK4. Simple, easy, and best of all speeds up downloads significantly on most sites. There also is a extension for Chromium and Firefox, but I haven’t tried them.
