Hi

I need to install ungoogled chromium updated version from safer way instead of using flatpak can I get .deb package from an official Github for trisquel (ubuntu).

I can see that below instructions from their Github

# echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ungoogled_chromium/Debian_Sid/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home-ungoogled_chromium.list > /dev/null
# curl -s 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ungoogled_chromium/Debian_Sid/Release.key' | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home-ungoogled_chromium.gpg > /dev/null
# sudo apt update
# sudo apt install -y ungoogled-chromium

is using backports of opensuse is safer ?

Thank you

The debian builds have some severe issues right now and thus aren't being updated. Flathub is the safer option of the two at this time. Guix is another option that is kept up to date. I would go with either of those.

I'm not sure, I think you have to run "guix pull". Have you tried Flatpak? It works very well. https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.Eloston.UngoogledChromium

I actually use Debian rather than Trisquel (which shouldn't matter for Flatpak), but the version of ungoogled-chromium that I have (through Flatpak) is 96.0.4664.45.

Should I concerned binary blobs in previous versions of ungoogled chrome I had installed or does it include another updates.
