Hi.  I use Guix atop Debian¹ testing (currently bullseye).

I normally browse the web on GNU IceCat and sometimes Firefox and
Emacs EWW.  I only use (ungoogled-)chromium for the rare websites that
don't work on the other browsers.  Long ago I installed in Chromium the
extension The Great Suspender, and only today (months after G$$gle
Chrome, according to news articles) did my Chromium disable it for
having malware.  And the only Chromium that did that for me was
Debian's.

So, I hypothesize that the ungoogling process has disabled Chromium's
ability to automatically disable malware extensions.  If true, that is a
serious defect of ungoogled-chromium and Guix should make sure that
users at least know about it.  There could be a warning in the Guix
package description *and* on the browser's start page.

Thank you for your work on GNU!

Regards

¹ When I find the time I intend to migrate to PureOS for superior libre
software ethics.
