Are you referring to this?

(This may need a separate thread).

You know you can get Chromium in the software Center right ?
Just making sure.

SWARF! I am sorry. With everything going on, I completely forgot about this.
The documentation is here:

# Building ungoogled-chromium

The recommended way to build ungoogled-chromium is by consulting [the repository for your supported platform (links here)](platforms.md).

* *Linux users*: If your distribution is not listed, you will need to use Portable Linux.

If you want to add ungoogled-chromium to your existing Chromium build process, see the next section. Additionally, you may reference the repositories for supported platforms for inspiration.

## Integrating ungoogled-chromium into your Chromium build process

Typically, ungoogled-chromium is built from [code in platform-specific repositories](platforms.md). However, ungoogled-chromium can also be included in part or in whole into any custom Chromium build. In this section, **we will assume you already have a process to make your own Chromium builds**.

**NOTE**: You may need additional patches and/or build configuration for [your supported platform](platforms.md) because this repository does not contain all the code necessary for all platforms.

Before continuing, you may find it helpful to have a look through [the design documentation](design.md).

The following procedure outline the essential steps to build Chromium will all of ungoogled-chromium's features. **They are not sufficient to build ungoogled-chromium on their own**.

1. Ensure Chromium is downloaded, such as by `depot_tools`. In most of our supported platforms, we instead use a custom tool to do this.

That being said - it has been a while but I remember just installing a .deb package. I will look into this further.

Maybe I used this:

I have used that several times to install ungoogled Chromium. It has always worked for me.
