Browser115.0.5790.110

Browser lets Windows users browse with an experimental Chromium fork based on ungoogled-chromium, pursuing changes intended to improve privacy and security. It is published by The 0xGingi-Browser Authors for people evaluating an alternative Chromium-based browser rather than seeking a conventional Chromium configuration. The current x64 Windows build is version 115.0.5790.110, updated to that release.

Its default search engine is the publisher’s SearxNG instance at search.0xgingi.com, while the engine token “unlockall” enables Google and Brave in Preferences. A built-in DNS-over-HTTPS proxy routes DNS through Cloudflare, Quad9, or NextDNS and selects the fastest response; it can be enabled at chrome://settings/security under Use Secure DNS with 0xGingi. The project says it keeps no logs, including search queries and IP addresses. An accompanying recommendation is uBlock Origin configured with Arkenfox’s suggested settings.

The Chromium Web Store extension provides another way to add Chrome Web Store extensions, using the chrome://flags/#extension-mime-request-handling setting set to Always prompt for install; Developer Mode in extension settings permits updates. Widevine can be enabled by placing its files in WidevineCdm/_platform_specific/win_x64, reopening the browser, and checking chrome://components/; backing up that folder helps restore it after updates. Users who install the older WinGet package should remove it and use the current package to receive updates.

For building Browser, the Windows Visual Studio instructions require installing and configuring the listed components, with environment variables needed when Visual Studio is outside its default directory.
