An example: listening all the time to someone saying “OK Google” and sending the follow-up voice clip to Google Search.Īnd I create a Chromium package which is actually usable enough that people prefer it over Google’s own Chrome binaries, The reason for this usefulness is the fact that I enable access to Google’s cloud sync platform through my personal so-called “ Google API key“. In Chromium for Slackware, you can logon to your Google account, sync your preferences, bookmarks, history, passwords etc to and from your cloud storage on Google’s platform.

In my Slackware Chromium builds, I disable some of the more intrusive Google features. Google ceased providing official 32bit binaries long ago. One unique quality of my Chromium packages for Slackware is that I provide them for 32bit Slackware. These chromium packages are built on our native Slackware platform, as opposed to the official Google Chrome binaries which are compiled on an older Ubuntu probably, for maximum compatibility across Linux distros where these binaries are used. Well, I provide Chromium packages for Slackware, both 32bit and 64bit versions. The message to take away from that post is “ We are limiting access to our private Chrome APIs starting on March 15, 2021“. There was an impactful post on the Google Chromium blog, last friday.
