How to tweak a Chromium-Based Web Browser to work with I2P ========================================================== This is not a recommendation! This is a much more complicated procedure than we wish to recommend to anyone. A great deal of thought went into the design of the Firefox plugin, which is safer and better because of the way Mozilla has designed and maintained it's webextension privacy API's. Moreover, Chrome is bad for the Internet. So is Google. If you **must**, absolutely must, use Chrome, then you are part of a different anonymity set, and in all likelihood, unique. You are subject to changes in the way Chrome is configured, including possibly unstable command-line flags which you might use to configure the proxy. This procedure does not make these risks, which are inherent to the use of Chromium, any greater or lesser, rather it teaches you to encapsulate a Chromium-based browsing profile for I2P which is the best that is possible to create with technology available across all Chromium variants. Also use Chromium or even better, ungoogled-chromium because Chrome is an advertising delivery vehicle with trivial browser-like characteristics. Profile+Plugin Solution, All Platforms -------------------------------------- This solution is probably the easiest for the majority of people, but it may not have the best privacy characteristics because it relies on API's and tooling that Google makes available via extensions, which is pretty narrow. Step 1: Create an I2P Browsing Profile * 1A: Open the people manager to create your I2P persona within Chromium. * 1B: Add a person named I2P Browsing Mode. * 1C: Give the person some cool shades to protect them on the *darkweb*. * 1D: Awwwwwww...
