Chromium web browser configuration

1. software
2. desktop

I used to use Chromium, but stopped because of privacy issues, see the firefox page for details. I may still use Chromium for webpage tests however.

Here's the extensions I have usually installed in Chromium:

• uBlock - replaces adblock: blocks all adds and annoying stuff online, and faster than adblock (note that there's a fork from the original author named uBlock origin, which i am not using)
• uMatrix - replaces noscript, and better. blocks all spyware and tracking devices, especially from Google and Facebook everywhere.
• Edit with Emacs - to use my prefered editor on long text areas
• The Great Suspender - reduces memory usage significantly by turning off old tabs
• Wallabag - to archive as "read it later", keeps tab count low

I also have a few basic bookmarks and bookmarklets:

• Local news: radio-canada, Le Devoir, etc
• Local weather
• Wayback (visit page on wayback machine)
• Wayback save (save URL on wayback machine)

Those I have installed on some profiles but not all, as they are not as useful:

• RSS feed subscription - allows for proper display and subscription of RSS feeds
• KB SSL Enforcer - chrome's version of HTTPS everywhere (limited because of issue #35897 that makes it hard for chrome to block things a priori)
• Tab Menu (dead link) replaced with Quick tabs - to deal with the ever growing list of tabs (vertical tabs is also interesting, but no source available)
• WebRTC network limiter - tries to hide my IP address somewhat more, probably breaking stuff more than anything
• Quick QR-Code - to transfer webpages to my phone quickly

I stopped using:

• Bookie - to manage my bookmarks - replaced by Wallabagg
• Password Hasher Plus - my web passwords manager, see also my password management policy - not good, more details to come
• httpswitchboard, now replaced by uMatrix et uBlock
• Chrome Apps & Extensions Developer Tool - it was allowing me to control extensions updates better, but is not free software
• Web Developer - mostly builtin now
• Diigo Web Highlighter and Bookmark - i use my own bookmark manager, Bookie
• Flashblock - i use built in flashblocking, or just disable flash to use HTML5
• Disconnect - i use http switchboard now
• Notscripts) - complains about missing html5 storage, maybe i have a too old chromium? it doesn't block inline scripts anyways
• ScriptNo - replaced with uMatrix
• AdBlock+ Element Hiding Helper - seems to duplicate adblock
• Awesome screenshot - i use shutter now + it's a horrible pile of spyware now
• RSS Live Links - doesn't actually provide live bookmarks folders, couldn't figure it out kind of working, but a pain to configure
• Session Manager - i don't actually need that: it's builtin to chrome now
