I know "where" it is located in 360Chrome [I disable in "ungoogled" but keep in "regular"]

Where? I remember Dixel's oldish version didn't have that cookie, too.

I already edited out all webstore links and analytics.

Still have "App data" in Supermium/Thorium.

Probably just easier to edit out all googleapis.

The best answer to "where" is all over the place.  It's not "one or two" locations, it is all over the place.

google/bing/duckduckgo for Ungoogled Chromium's github page.  They provide all of the "patches" required.

I could not apply these patches to 360Chrome.  I had to instead painstakingly scour every LINE of every required patch and apply the code manually.

Remember that I was dealing with v86 and we're up to v130 or v140 nowadays, I lose track of the constant updating.

All of the patch code is PUBLIC DOMAIN.  Ungoogled Chromium hides nothing.

That might work, I cannot claim to have attempted.

All I know is that I would *never* use any web browser that has that PERMANENT HOSTED APP present.

To each their own, of course.

I'm not hiding anything from Google, per se.  I just believe in PRIVACY RIGHTS OF THE CONSUMER.

It's SAD to me that most consumers don't care any more.

 

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

No, just tried, it's still there.

Supermium doesn't update that frequently. Probably makes sense to apply there, too. It's already many versions behind.

From what I see, it's just an imported icon from resources.pak. Why? Because I blocked the internet. It can't fetch anything.

On the other hand, I remember I spent a lot of time porting Opera on 110, just to discover it became obsolete in a matter of months,

Any browser these days is a waste of time. xD

Bingo!  Precisely why I "finally" abandoned XP and the dog-chasing-tail aspect of trying to maintain some degree of web-browsability on XP.

And to me, it was just as "pointless" to do it all over again on 7 and see how long I could keep the same degree of web-browsability on 7.

Vista for me is a NO-GO!  You can't PAY me to run Vista.  "To each their own", of course.

I am ECSTATIC with my "nosed, decked, and shaved" Win10 LTSB 2016, so still very much an "old OS".

I keep watching Thorium and Supermium.  They're not for me YET, but who knows what "tomorrow" brings.

I highly doubt it!

My theory is this, just wait, when the CWS goes 100% MV3 vs MV2, it is this HOSTED APP that is going to disable/delete/etc any-and-all non-MV3 extensions that you may have.

And it does not require access to the internet to perform this task!

Just wait.  Supermium and Thorium keeps claiming that they will keep MV2 compatibility - I am skeptic, this HOSTED APP is there for a reason!

@NotHereToPlayGames, can we get to the bottom of this? With instructions on how to remove it. I'm not that versatile, as you guys, when it comes to such procedures.

[D.Draker]

What I did, I manually searched for instances of webstore that include working links with analytics/reporting. Then damaged the links.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/

666ps://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/

[NotHereToPlayGames]

That alone very likely did NOT remove the HOSTED APP.

Can you provide a screencap showing HOSTED APP DATA  ===  NONE ?

The methods I used to remove from 360Chrome do not apply to Supermium and Thorium.

Since migrating to Win10, I have no use for either of them "so far".  That could easily change in the future, but for now, "not for me".

I follow there development as a casual observer only because of how fast the internet changes and liking to know "where they stand" when/if my current default (Official Ungoogled v122) no longer serves my needs.

The last Official Ungoogled that I tried was v128 and my bank accound password submission does not work (just like in v125, v126, and v127).  For all I know, it started working in v129 and I have no clue what version they are at currently.

But it is not something on Ungoogled's side of things.  There are reports for the same bank not working in Brave.  It may be fixed by now in Brave, unsure, I only catch those forums once a month or so.

I basically have lost interest in the amount of time and effort that is required to "fork" something like 360Chrome and I am no longer interested in falling down that rabbit hole.

If D.Draker has found a way to remove the HOSTED APP in Thorium, all the power to him.  I've not seen evidence to support that he has succeeded, but he has the vested interest here, not me.  I'm just a casual observer at this point.

Why? I already told, it didn't help to get rid of "Hosted Data", but I only get the icon in my browser data.
