    so chromium-flags.conf can set configs for chrome:flags, is there a similar thing for chrome:settings?

    there are enterprise policies, not sure if they allow such a level of control however

    Hi, I am trying to contribute a small new feature but I'm unfamiliar with patch files and I seem to have messed up the one I made. Is there someone who could help me?

    Extract chromium source
    git init
    git add ./path/to/file1 ./path/to/file2 ...
    git commit -am "init"

    Make changes to file1, file2 and whatever else you passed to git add

    git diff HEAD > my.patch

    I may have just figured out the error I made, actually, and it was getting old versions of the files from a commit I was investigation without realizing I had done that.

    is it possible to patch in the feature to open up a specific webpage on startup of the app? ungoogled chromium has a bunch of patches including ones that change the prefrences so I thought I'd ask here.

    at work, I have troubles loading a few internal resources.. however, they work in a different browser. ugc reports ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID - is there anything know about this? My first quick google search didn't yield anything
    the funny part is that it works just fine in edge :B I deleted all browser data, tried a clean profile, and using wireshark I can see that i get a tcp reset. I have no idea what else to try next

    Well there's an easy explanation for that: Your workplace is using self signed certificates for those sites which were not signed by a public certificate authority

    For security reasons a browser will only trust a list of known public authorities like LetsEncrypt which are known to thoroughly check the ownership of a domain before signing a certificate. If this wouldn't be the case, browsers would have no way to verify that a server they are talking to is actually the server they want to talk to

    For ungoogled-chromium to accept a custom authority you need that authorities certificate and add it in the browser's settings

    heh, spot on again. but it i am mostly confused because it was working for months. was this recently introduced and i just overslept it in the changelog?
    it stopped working in the middle of the day last week, and I haven't been able to investigate much yet
    networkException
    @networkexception:chat.upi.li

    could be
    If you click on the "Not secure" hint left to the url bar and click on "Certificate is not valid" it should show the certificate viewer, maybe that reveals something about the change (perhaps the "Issued On" timestamp machtes when that certificate was introduced)
    tim
    @tim:nullvoid.de

    i did check the certificate, i just didnt have the free head to investigate much further for now. I'll try to trace it down. I was told that the private root cert of our domain is installed on each client so yeah, weird
    networkException
    @networkexception:chat.upi.li
    [m]

    maybe vanilla / ungoogled chromium ignores the client's certificates?

    I'm not sure about that

    tim
    @tim:nullvoid.de
    [m]
    Possibly, I’ll have to check about that tomorrow
    networkException
    @networkexception:chat.upi.li
    [m]

    What could also be is that you previously told the browser to ignore the invalid certificate

    Version 102.0.5005.61-1 and 102.0.5005.61-2 have a bug that removes the option to bypass certificate errors (-3 will fix that)

    Yesterday i had a network error on a page i was trying to sign into and got a 'confirm form resubmission' pop up. There the back button was spelled 'black' instead of 'back'. Can someone please check? I have no idea how to reproduce the scenario.

    I just want to confirm if it was a bug or something more nefarious. like me installing a compromised version of the software.

    I think that generally happens when you navigated using a post request
    for testing I have a development version of the AUR running on a server of mine, just fill out something random in the required fields, click create and reload when you are on the page that says that the account got created, that should trigger the popup

    i force installed again to check the download location. it's from here: https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/releases/download/v102.0.5005.63-6-r992738-Win64/102.0.5005.63-6_ungoogled_mini_installer.exe

    winget currently uses binaries from https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome, I'm looking into updating that to https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-windows for the next release
    yea

    i'm not sure if i should stop using it for the time being. also not sure if this is an actual bug or a possible supply chain attack or something like that. sorry for the paranoia
    vanilla chromium does show a different message.

    same for the this ungoogled binary compiled by github actions: https://github.com/Nifury/ungoogled-chromium-windows/releases/tag/102.0.5005.61-3.2
    (future releases on the official platform repo will also use github actions)
    I guess you could open an issue in https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/issues to ask why their binary is different

    Without the convenience of winget it's getting a bit too convoluted for me at the moment as i don't want to manually update. I'll temporarily jump ship to normal chromium i guess. Thanks a lot for your patience.

    Is there a standard/accepted way to copy installed & configured extensions from one profile to another? I usually want the same base config when creating a new chromium profile.
    https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store -> I'm also using this

    I'm guessing that everything you need to transfer is in $Profile/Extension*

    another related question: how about moving search engines, I have 100+ search engines that were automatically added and I changed their shortcut to be well.. shorter than the default.
