More information:

Hello. This package was available in chaotic aur not long ago. I tried to install ungoogled-chromium again on arch linux after a few days, and it seems to not be in the repo anymore for some reason.
Here is the link if needed: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux/releases
Thanks in advance.

Readme says ungoogled chromium is included:
“A lot of browsers like Firedragon, Firefox-wayland-hg, Floorp, Icecat, and Ungoogled Chromium”
I'm wondering why it got removed.

ungoogled-chromium was temporarily removed for failure to build. It's a heavy package, and haven't gotten around to figuring out what was wrong with it.

Hello there. Sorry about my newbie question, but isn't it possible to just add the already built version from the ungoogled-chromium creators to the chaotic-aur repo? https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux/releases
Thanks.

Attempted to build package, but failed for reason I don't understand. Will look at it more later.

Pre-built binaries and packages cannot be added directly to repo, but can add -bin packages. May consider if cannot figure out how to build from source.

Hey, sorry if this is spam but I'd like to bump this as I can't see activity regarding this within the last month and ungoogled-chromium would be very great to have in the repositories again for the people who want to degoogle themselves but need to visit whatever sites which only work on chromium browsers. Thank you for your work and contributions to the community!

ungoogled-chromium is time consuming to build, and annoying when it fails late in the process. So I've been putting it off. Will try again soon. If it doesn't work, will look at the -bin package.

@dr460nf1r3 I'm running into the following, trying to build with cpb.

[27428/49812] CXX obj/third_party/blink/renderer/core/core/svg_mpath_element.o
ninja: build stopped: interrupted by user.

==> ERROR: TERM signal caught. Exiting...

I definitely did not press ^C. Is the problem that this is a very heavy package and hitting some time out?
