Degoogle Chromium help

Greetings! I have recently ditched google and went with privacy focused alternatives. Such as SearXNG, Invidious, Lemmy etc.

However, while i was using degoogled chromium, i cant install extensions.

Is there any way i can install extensions on Degoogled Chromium? (ik this isnt the right place to ask but eh)

Thanks a lot!

ditch chromium and use firefox
- Chromium has its advantages too.

I don't remember many details so you have to wait for more competent replies but afaik there are 2 ways of getting extensions working on UGC: download the extension file using some workarounds and install it manually, or install a special proprietary module that enables Chrome extension store so you can use it like on Chrome.
Just use ungoogled-chromium.
Manifest V2 exstensions (like most ad blockers) are no longer supported. You should install Firefox or a fork of it (I reccomend Floorp)
Agree with a lot of the comments here, whether it's privacy or not wanting to use GAFAMmmy tools, there are better options than ungoogled chromium. For privacy: https://privacytests.org/ (maintainer works at Brave, but by and large this site is useful)
