His next 64-bit Dev/LKGR build will have CFG enabled. There is one Dev/LKGR build from main developer/build provider Nik, but at the moment is 32-bit. Note: the CF Guard indication from Process Hacker above.Īt the moment, there are only a couple of builds over at which have CFG enabled. The builds will still work fine for Windows 7 users, however, CFG will have no effect. I should mention that this is only for Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 users in which the CFG mitigation will take effect. They are starting initially with CFG enabled for chrome.exe & chrome_elf.dll and will assess any performance implications before eventually enabling CFG for more modules. "ValidateAdminCodeSignatures"=dword:00000000Ĭhromium has just recently added support for Control Flow Guard (CFG) mitigation in Dev builds revision r425226 and newer (via patch ). Set UAC to allow elevation of unsigned: Allow_Unsigned_Install.reg "ValidateAdminCodeSignatures"=dword:00000001 Set UAC to block elevation of unsigned: Block_Unsigned_Install.reg When I need to install an unsigned program, I temporarely allow unsigned elevation by running two regedit files, see below: I run this UAC-tweak since 2009 and only once had a problem (when Microsoft update removed all signatures of its own Executables), but a simple return to "last known good configuration" using Windows startup recovery, corrected that hilarious Microsoft blooper. Vista and Windows 7 users might notice a delay with UAC prompts, because the signature is checked (so malware with forged signature is blocked), but the delay is hardly noticeable on Windows 8.1 and seems completely gone in Windows 10 (it seems to improve with every Windows version). See Microsoft info about this UAC setting. When you try to install them or run them as administrator, Windows will display the " Referral returned from the server" error message. When "validate administrator Code Signatures is on(1)" it is possible to run unsigned programs and programs with invalid signature. I have UAC set to deny elevation of unsigned, the advantage of running Chromium over Chrome is that Chromium broker runs in a Basic User container with this UAC tweak (is not allowed to elevate to high integrity level/administrator rights). I like to use Chromium, because the Chome executable of Chromium is not signed. I will add more and organize this better for the links. Therefore you can achieve an entirely portable Chromium, with auto-updates, channel selection, and portable Flash Player. Better yet, chrlauncher includes a portable Flash Player PPAPI binary. You can choose how often to check for updates and much more. * chrlauncher is a tiny portable application which allows you to easily (and automatically) update Chromium builds and gives you the choice of different channels such as: Dev, Stable, etc. On top of all of that goodness, they have also been recently experimenting with compiling their typical vanilla Chormium builds but introducing some of the GitHub - Eloston/ungoogled-chromium patches bit by bit for an even more privacy-focused browser without Google API's and less Google oriented in general. Recently, they have been providing PGO-optimized builds as well which is what Google Chrome team has also been doing since M53 (圆4) and upcoming M54 (x86) for performance improvements in Chromium. No Sync - No WebRTC - No Windvine ( privacy-focused builds with no Google API's).Sync - WebRTC - Windvine ( builds containing Google API's).The one thing that I was not sure of was whether this topic should be within other software & services or one of the Privacy sub-forums.įor each of the builds, you have a choice between: There is also a thread within all things UNIX discussing Ungoogled-Chromium but that is specific to Linux builds. I did not think that it would be appropriate to discuss these builds in the main Chrome Stable Channel Update thread because that is intended for official Google Chrome stable release discussions. I wanted a thread specifically to discuss the fantastic open-source, privacy-focused Chromium builds from ( ).
