About Chromium Hardening Guide
Chromium Hardening Guide helps set up and use a Chromium based browser with the flags and policies present in its repo. It covers selecting a browser, applying policies, and persisting flags, starting with preferences and then configuration files. Files can be generated with a cross platform automated script or created and edited by hand. The primary focus is Linux and Windows, with notes for Android and macOS where applicable. It also compares content blocking through extensions, native or internal filtering, and DNS or network filtering.
Pricing is not clearly stated.
