But couldn't you report this to > ungoogled-chromium upstream? With close to 1500 bugs open, we need *your* help :-). If you think this issue is worthy of bringing upstream, please see to it! Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll close this issue as not-a-bug as Marius suggested, as it appears to me reasonable that the Guix-installed ungoogled-chromium wouldn't know to police (especially outside of regular updates) software installed from external sources to Guix. Thank you, Maxim
