Does that mean that Debian's `chromium` is also "ungoogled"?
That would admittedly make a lot of sense.
I see a directory `ungoogled` in
https://sources.debian.org/src/chromium/121.0.6167.160-1/debian/patches/
but it contains a fairly trivial patch that doesn't do what I expect
"ungoogled" to mean.
If it is indeed, ungoogled, then the package's description should say
so, shouldn't it? Currently it just says:
Description: web browser
Web browser that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable internet
browsing experience.
This package contains the web browser component.
which doesn't hint at it being ungoogled at all.
Stefan
