Build from sources

Tested on macOS 10.15.

macOS

1. Install Xcode 10 or higher version.
2. Clone this project: git clone https://github.com/hellotanuky/clear-browser
3. Open a terminal and cd to project folder: cd clear-browser
4. Build Chromium with patches: ./scripts/build.py build
5. Wait patiently.

Optionally: If you want to use ccache, use brew install ccache to install it and pass --ccache to build.py. This will automatically append cc_wrapper="ccache"to args.gn.

Windows

IT IS BUGGY and WIP.

Ubuntu

still WIP.

Known Issues

If you use existing profile from ungoogled-chromium, you may encounter password sync failure. To solve this, create a new profile.

1Password is unavailable since it forces browser signature check. Instead you can use 1Password X but it requires a valid subscription.

Development

PRs are always welcome :)
