Iridium

Iridium is an optional web browser that can be used on helloSystem. It is based on the Chromium browser.

Upon first start of the Iridium browser, the following extensions are automatically installed from https://chrome.google.com/webstore/ to increase privacy and convenience:

  • I don’t care about cookies: Tries to remove annoying cookie popups automatically. Visit https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu to learn more about this extension. Deactivate or uninstall this extension if you would like to see cookie popups

  • uBlock Origin: Tries to block unwanted advertising and tracking. Visit https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock to learn more about this extension. Deactivate or uninstall this extension if you would like to see advertising and allow trackers to track you.

You can uninstall those extensions at any time from within Iridium.

If you would like Iridium not to install those extensions from the Chrome Web Store in the first place, remove the files in /usr/local/share/iridium/extensions/*.json prior to launching Iridium for the first time.
