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!
Chromium has its advantages too.

Like what?
When website doesn't work on Firefox.
Chrome is the next Internet Explorer.
Yeaaah i fking hate it "Please install google chrome to use this feature" nah, Imma skip it entirely
I was trying to bid on a couple of municipal projects recently, and got this. Nope. I'll go to the library, maybe.
I'm really curious if it's real or some bullshit. Do chromium based browser have something Firefox doesn't? I'm talking about all those "Please install Firefox to use X" because I doubt it
It's just a small rural area, population wise, in the South. Probably some free build-a-site that came with hosting.
Wait... You have encountered a website that doesn't work on Firefox? :/ Like finding a needle in a haystack.
It's not uncommon to see certain sites to only work on chromium because the dev used the filesystem APIs that don't exist on FF
Compatibility, security, UI, permission features.
I've used chrome as a browser for almost my entire life. It's kinda nice to still have the chrome i know and love, but with no google spyware.
I didn't drink or have sex for a big proportion of my life (until 16). Was quite happy to ditch old habits.
The thing is, chrome was probably built for spying.
True.
In this case, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
