Thanks for the kind words!

I'll look into making it more explicit, but do note that there are *no* official Chromium binaries. Any official builds by Google will always be under the Chrome branding instead.

I currently (Sun 6 Mar 21:45 CET) do not see any Chromium flatpak on flathub. Are you changing stuff?
I also noticed we went back from 99.xxxx to 98.xxxx yesterday. That was apparently deliberate: https://github.com/flathub/org.chromium.Chromium/commit/a...
Can you please elaborate on what is going on? Thanks!

I actually did a search for "browser" and "chromium" a couple of hours ago, and at least two Chromium flatpaks were listed — one of them ungoogled.

It seems to me that flathub.org is currently somewhat broken: not only does any type of search yield 0 results, even clicking on any of the categories in the sidebar lists the same number.

The only links that work a little bit are "Popular" and the two "Editor's choice" ones, and "Popular" even lists Chromium. But clicking on any of the packages yields a "not found" page.

So yeah… currently broken.

I... honestly don't know what's up with version 99. The new tarballs and Chrome release were removed by upstream, presumably due to regressions (probably https://github.com/flathub/org.chromium.Chromium/issues/207), but I can't find any public info as to why. The tarball was re-added now, but with no changes, and the corresponding Chrome release still hasn't been re-released...so I'm just waiting to see what happens now.
