Greetings! I have recently ditched google and went with privacy focused alternatives. Such as SearXNG, Invidious, Lemmy etc.
However, while i was using degoogled chromium, i cant install extensions.
Is there any way i can install extensions on Degoogled Chromium? (ik this isnt the right place to ask but eh)
Thanks a lot!

ditch chromium and use firefox
Chromium has its advantages too.

Like what?
Chromecast
Can you really consider yourself degoogled if you use a Chromecast??
Then have chromium installed for chromecast only and Firefox installed for normal browsing.
That’s what I do, just pointing out that it’s factually incorrect to say there’s no point to chromium. Everyone’s just proselytizing, probably the same nerds who mock apple fanboys.
Dont use chromecast

Compatibility, security, UI, permission features.
I’ve used chrome as a browser for almost my entire life. It’s kinda nice to still have the chrome i know and love, but with no google spyware.
I didn’t drink or have sex for a big proportion of my life (until 16). Was quite happy to ditch old habits.
The thing is, chrome was probably built for spying.
True.
In this case, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
I don’t remember many details so you have to wait for more competent replies but afaik there are 2 ways of getting extensions working on UGC: download the extension file using some workarounds and install it manually, or install a special proprietary module that enables Chrome extension store so you can use it like on Chrome.

Just use ungoogled-chromium.
Agree with a lot of the comments here, whether it’s privacy or not wanting to use GAFAMmmy tools, there are better options than ungoogled chromium. For privacy: https://privacytests.org/ (maintainer works at Brave, but by and large this site is useful)

Manifest V2 exstensions (like most ad blockers) are no longer supported. You should install Firefox or a fork of it (I reccomend Floorp)

Don’t use Brave. Brave is virtually a spyware, just less invasive compared to Chrome: https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/brave
Well. I wasn’t “Brave” enough to use it, so yea.
