This is generally how I set up Ungoogled Chromium. These note are primarily for my own reference, but may be useful to others.

First Steps

Follow the first run (chrome://ungoogled-first-run) steps.

If running from a Flatpak, dictionary goes here:

~/.var/app/io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium/config/chromium/Dictionaries/

Make sure Chromium Web Store is installed.

Google Search

To quote @sudo-nautilus:

To get Google Search Engine, Do the Following:

• Go to chrome://settings/searchEngines
• Click Add Button near Other search engines
• Add Google In Search Engine input box
• Add google.com in Keyword input box
• Add this in URL with %s in place of query input box

  https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&{google:RLZ}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}{google:assistedQueryStats}{google:searchFieldtrialParameter}{google:iOSSearchLanguage}{google:prefetchSource}{google:searchClient}{google:sourceId}{google:contextualSearchVersion}ie={inputEncoding}

• Add https://www.google.com/complete/search?client=chrome&q=%s in Suggestions URL with %s in place of query input box

    mkdir -p ~/extensions/startpage
