What is Chromium Web Store?
Chromium Web Store
In the era of digitalization and easily searchable information, we should maintain awareness of how often we have to sacrifice our privacy in exchange for the convenience and features that many service providers offer. Among them is Google Chrome, a household name in the browser market space.
Those who prefer or have become accustomed to its functions and interface layout may have an easier time transitioning to UnGoogled Chromium, a fork that removes most of the Google dependencies. One way of improving the navigation experience is by implementing Chromium Web Store.
In an attempt to prevent the Chromium project from sending telemetry-related data back to the tech giant's servers, a considerable chunk of functionalities have been removed or hindered for the sake of safeguarding users' privacy when the fork was created.
One of them relates to the ability to install third-party extensions, which essentially require a direct connection to the Web Store. While manual sideloading can still be performed and is generally the most recommended way, keeping them updated may prove to be a challenge for the less tech-savvy.
Features
- User-friendly interface
- Privacy-focused functionalities
- Automated extension updates
- Easy installation process
Benefits
- Enhanced privacy protection
- Effortless extension management
- Improved browsing experience
This is where Chromium Web Store comes into play. By changing the relevant settings flag before downloading the extension file and dragging-and-dropping it onto the Extensions webpage, visiting any add-on listing from Google's database will prompt you to install it from the pinned badge icon.
In this way, essential and privacy-friendly utilities the likes of Dark Reader for applying themes that go easy on your eyes during late-night browsing sessions and Ublock Origin designed to help you avoid malicious pop-up ads and invasive trackers can be automatically updated at custom intervals set up by the user.
Given the difficulty of browsing the web without adblockers or dark theme-applying tools at night, Chromium Web Store's excellent implementation should help you mitigate the challenges of keeping extensions that would be otherwise sideloaded up-to-date.
