Chromium policies

aminda-extensions.json

As I cannot separate the keys to multiple files I am forced to keep them in one and separate by what the file does, aminda-extensions.json is unlikely to overlap with someone else.

Changing normal_installed to force_installed would also prevent uninstallation.

Silk - Privacy Pass Client for the browser

  • ajhmfdgkijocedmfjonnpjfojldioehi

Silk or Privacy Pass has a chance of decreasing the amount of captchas especially from Cloudflare when “suspicious” traffic is detected.

To intentionally trigger it and what should be allowed in NoScript:

NoScript

  • doojmbjmlfjjnbmnoijecmcbfeoakpjm

Not actually installed by aminda-extensions.json anymore due to self-reflection and deciding its a bit much to push on unsuspecting family members.

Appears to make the internet much more pleasant and less distracting in 2024 eliminating the cookie banners and all, while not trusting lists generated by other people.

OpenDyslexic

  • cdnapgfjopgaggbmfgbiinmmbdcglnam

OpenDyslexic font + highlighting for currently pointed paragraph. Improves my reading especially with more busy articles, even without dyslexia.

Dark Reader

  • eimadpbcbfnmbkopoojfekhnkhdbieeh

As playing around with these policies and constantly removing the profile directory doesnt help my migraine.

Indiewiki Buddy

  • fkagelmloambgokoeokbpihmgpkbgbfm

I am spoilt by how nice Breezewiki is to use and wikis existing outside of Fandom is good to be reminded about occassionally. And I just happened to stay in not so hardened Chromium for a bit due to hardened Firefox being too much for my task and there is no reason occassionally needed Chromium shouldnt be tolerable for a few minutes.

Wayback Machine

  • fpnmgdkabkmnadcjpehmlllkndpkmiak

web.archive.org saving and discovering.

Privacy Manager

  • giccehglhacakcfemddmfhdkahamfcmd

Quick browser options and data removal on startup. Maybe beneficial if incognito is disabled (which again is not great idea for quick guest access?)

Terms of Service; Didnt Read

  • hjdoplcnndgiblooccencgcggcoihigg

Fedora User Agent

  • hojggiaghnldpcknpbciehjcaoafceil

Communicates websites that Ubuntu isnt the only Linux distribution and makes some offer rpm packages directly.

Chrome Remote Desktop

  • inomeogfingihgjfjlpeplalcfajhgai

Remote support integrated to Chrome.

The additional component is:

  • Debian: https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb
  • Others: unsupported

Bias Finder

Political bias of English language media sites powered by allsides.com

Snowflake

  • mafpmfcccpbjnhfhjnllmmalhifmlcie

Helps bridge traffic to Tor by looking like WebRTC call.

AdNauseam

  • mlojlfildnehdpnlmpkeiiglhhkofhpb

Complementing PrivacyBadger with an adblocker so first profile runs have at least something to block Malvertising now that I no longer enable NoScript out of the box.

Bitwarden

  • nngceckbapebfimnlniiiahkandclblb

The password manager of my choice.

UpdateSWH

  • palihjnakafgffnompkdfgbgdbcagbko

Adds a floating coloured button to source code forges reflecting the status of it being in Software Heritage Archive and allows quick archiving requests to be made.

Privacy Badger

  • pkehgijcmpdhfbdbbnkijodmdjhbjlgp

Configured to learn locally and also in incognito as opposed to only relying on vendor list. Also not display the “Welcome to Privacy Badger screen”.

disable-floc.json

Disables floc or ad topics that are against privacy.

Disables incognito mode. I dont recommend this.

doh-automatic.json

If no DNS over HTTPS policy is used, this unlocks the setting. Enabling managed policies disable it by default.

Incompatible with any actual DoH policy.

doh-dns0.json

Simply enables DNS-over-HTTPS with DNS0.eu. automatic means downgrade is allowed (the system resolver is encrypted), secure would lock it.

doh-quad9-ecs.json

Enables DNS over HTTPS with Quad9 ECS enabled server.

enable-ech-ocsp.json

Forces incognito mode. I dont recommend this.
