Request MX19 - Ungoogled Chromium

[dingdongsolong]

One more thing, although I have installed UGC with the binaries to the verison 87, under the stable repo there are upgrades to version 89. Maybe someone in the future may want to know this one. Just FYI.

a better way to install ungoogled-chromium is given in post #5 by Stevo: so at https://software.opensuse.org/download/ ... d_chromium

Actually the upgrading through the stable repo is just the same, as during the process it's fetching the new version from opensuse.

fair warning the chromium flatpaks have been irritating in the past.

Would you mind elaborating on what you meant by "irritating"?
Besides, I have encountered a problem while using both chrome and ungoogled chromium. The browser kept lagging and freezing. I have been googling for a while. Do you mind pointing me to a solution and giving your advice on this one? I am using MX-19.

Any ideas on this? The freezes render UGC unusable.

You mentioned "chrome"...did you mean chromium instead of Google Chrome?
Have you tried disabling the hardware acceleration for the GUI for either one?

I found ungoogled Chromium on Flatpak, however I wasn't able to install it.
I kept getting an error saying it requires a later version of Flatpak (Namely 1.8.2)

To my understanding, MX's current version of Flatpak is way behind at 1.2.5.
