[gentoo-user] Ungoogled-chromium, anyone?
Hello list, I discovered this package today and wondered whether anyone here had any experience of it. Which overlay to get it from? How stable is it? Does it really "privatise" chromium? Does it allow extensions like ublock-origin? I'm happy with firefox, but it never hurts to have a choice. -- Regards, Peter.

[gentoo-user] Which Comes First, the Unmask or the Mask?
I believe I know the answer to the question... the real question is, how can I work around it? ;) I am running the development branch of www-client/chromium (currently 8.0.552.0). As a result, I like the latest builds to always be unmasked when they are available. However, once in a while there is a bad apple in the bunch and I'd like to mask that atom specifically. 8.0.552.0 is one of those that I would like masked. What I'd like to do is: /etc/portage/package.unmask: www-client/chromium /etc/portage/package.mask: =www-client/chromium-8.0.552.0 This case shows that, in fact, the mask comes first, as the atom in question is definitely unmasked in that scenario. I have tried putting either line into /etc/portage/profile/package.mask or .unmask, to no effect. I know I could do this by putting noninclusive comparative statements in .unmask, ala: www-client/chromium-8.0.552.0 www-client/chromium-8.0.552.0 But this seems somewhat clumsy to me. Does anyone know a trick to do what I'm looking for? Thanks, -Andy

Good call, but only some - I'm pretty sure it's not to the point of thrashing. Even so, with if I had enough RAM to totally avoid swapping, I don't think chromium would drop by a factor of 5 or 6. (I don't generally sit and watch - I generally try to emerge chromium overnight.) However, the few times I've been trying to use the system while chromium compiles, it's been slow, but not totally unresponsive. In addition - I think the huge memory use is only for a small part of the total chromium compile. Jack

[snip] While I wrote this letter Chromium become crazy again - thanks the automatic save few words has lost this letter - and I know that the root cause the Chromium itself and the flash isn't matter. Flash just make faster that process when Chromium become crazy. No, you are probably wrong here. Chromium is not the problem, Flash is the problem. That's what I'd have thought if it were any other browser, but my experience with chromium is that it's actually quite unstable. Flash is a piece of shit that has never worked right and Adobe are a bunch of fools that cannot code properly or securely. I can comfortably say this based on long hard bitter experience by the entire Linux community. If you choose to use Flash, you get to put up with the resulting problems. Maybe before throwing out the baby with the bathwater he should do some more testing in another browser. In the past I've seen behavior not unlike that described due to flash, but if flash is the culprit it will show up using firefox or konqueror or whatever. -- caveat utilitor ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤

I've got no time to look into the versions 20.x to 21.0.1155.2 and my
custom patch for 21.0.1155.2 also fixes a selinux related issue.
If you google you'll find some other patches (even one on

Dear All!
I think Google Chrome/Chromium is an excellent browser and I have been
using it for a year or more. But there is one issue which is
disturbing me and I would like to know what is your experience.
Maybe a different problem than what you're having, but in my
experience Chromium is sensitive to DNS problems. When I use my ISP's
DNS server, Chromium regularly fails to load pages. When I use my own
local DNS resolver on my own machine, it works great...
* Chrome/Chromium does not internally cache DNS results. (Firefox, by
contrast, does)
* DNS communications occur over UDP, which is very fast from the
server's perspective, but carries no guarantee of delivery. (As a
coping mechanism, DNS resolvers retry after a timeout)
So what's happening:
Chromium sends a UDP packet asking for the A (or , depending)
record of whatever site it is you want to go see.
That UDP packet makes it through your local network, and exits through
your {,cable,DSL} modem. Noise on the line results in the loss of the
UDP packet. The target DNS server never hears about the request, so
never sends a reply.
Chromium will retry after a bit. (I think the default is 30s for the
first retry)
On the other hand, if you're running a recursing DNS server on your
local network, here's what happens:
Chromium sends a UDP packet to your local DNS server, asking fo the A
(or ) record of the domain in question.
That UDP packet makes it across your reliable local network to your
local caching/recursing DNS server.
Your local DNS server sends a UDP packet to an upstream DNS server,
asking for the information you wanted. If that UDP packet doesn't
reach its destination, the DNS server will try again.
Once your local DNS server receives a reply, it caches the information
for as long as the DNS records TTL indicates it should.
So what happened to Chromium's initial request? If your local DNS
server's initial query didn't manage to swim upstream, then Chromium
probably timed out. You, the user, will probably try again.
By the time you try again, your local DNS server will probably have
received and cached the response from your _first_ query, and will
have an answer for you immediately; no need to send UDP packets out
over lossy internet connection.

[gentoo-user] Chromium: questions
I have 2 questions about how Chromium operates with a clean profile. I run it like this: % chromium --user-data-dir=dir Directory dir is empty (at first launch). After the first launch, some entries immediately appear in History. I visited those before, but it's not everything I visited. Approximately 10-20 entries. From where is this information taken? If it's Google servers, what info is used for identification? IP address, system user name, something else? Next question is about certificates. I have 2 personal certificates installed in my main profile and they appear in the clean profile, too. Where are those certificates stored? I couldn't find them in KDE configuration app (System Settings). Are they taken from main profile?

. Chromium switched to 'clang++ v5.x' as its primary compiler. Why? The Chromium devs are using 'c++' features supported in gcc v8+. . So ... first compile run is with 'gcc' ... then Chromium is re-compiled with 'clang++'. That is what I am seeing ( console && log wise ). 2 Compile runs ... twice the time. . No gold linker setup on my system. Just how is 'clang++' supposed to work with 'ld.bfd'? . As far as I can tell, all optimization depending on '-march= / -mtune= ' is still discarded, as well.

Those are rather different processors, and google is fond of optimizing deeply for specific cases (common to all browsers I think). You'd have to ask a chromium hacker but I'd say the odds are good there are serious optimizations for i7 that stress your compiler out muchly. Add to that your i7 is RAM-constrained so you compensate with swap, which is easily 50,000 times slower with sucky latency. When you use a disk as RAM, performance tanks. Well, usually it causes a cascade effect and stuff blows up, but if it completes it will have done so slowly. If you at all can, shove lots more RAM in that i7.

Combining source files reduces duplication of #include directives which greatly cuts down on the number of lines of code going into the compiler, but the individual files being compiled are larger. I have a 12 SMT-core Ryzen 5-1600, and 16GB of RAM. I can't even build chromium on a tmpfs because the RAM+space requirements have grown, so I build on an SSD. Even without the tmpfs I have to reduce make to -j11 or it will OOM during a build WITHOUT the jumbo-build flag. So, I'm already hitting RAM limitations on build time. That said, I've experimented with some build times and I found that I can build chromium faster with -j8 using jumbo-build (the max # jobs I can run reliably without OOM) than I can build it with -j11 without using the new feature. I'll also note that to do this I have to make sure nothing else is compiling at the same time, and sometimes I end up stopping a container that runs mono for good measure. I do use ccache in general with chromium but I did my benchmarking without it. I suggest experimenting with jumbo-build, and consider reducing parallel jobs if you run into OOM, but depending on your system you might find it not worth the trouble. One thing I haven't experimented with is reducing -j even further and then moving back to a tmpfs. I could easily see a tmpfs for building outperforming jumbo-build even if I end up at -j4 or less. Then again, the SSD probably isn't as bad a drag as a spinning disk would be. I was chatting with somebody (I think on reddit) who mentioned jumbo-build worked fine on a threadripper with 64GB of RAM (that would be -j32 I suppose). I bet that with even a few more GB of RAM I could probably max out my 12 SMT cores. I can't wait to see how chromium-64 behaves. The RAM requirements have been steadily going up. I have an older system with only 4GB RAM and it struggles to even build chromium at all. -- Rich

[gentoo-user] =www-client/chromium-6.0.472.33 and h264
I've noticed that ebuilds of chromium at and later than 6.0.472.33 no longer use the system-provided ffmpeg, and seem to lose support for h264 videos (test any non-webm, html5 video at youtube; it will never load). I've tried doctoring the ebuild to use the system-provided ffmpeg, which does not fix h264 video and causes crashes on webm videos: probably why we went back to the bundled ffmpeg.

[gentoo-user] How can I bring back Konqueror as my man page viewer?
In KDE, I'm very used to simply type man:foo and have the man page of foo pop up immediately in Konqueror without having to open a terminal or anything. However, since I installed Chromium and making it my default browser, now man: brings up Chromium instead. That doesn't work; instead of displaying the man page, it downloads the *.bz2 from the local file system :-/ How can I set Konqueror to be the program that handles KDE's man: command?
[gentoo-user] Binary chrome - is it safe in terms of dependencies?
There are two packages of chrome on repository, one is the binary version officially made available by Google and another is the open source version chromium. Since Gentoo updates libraries very quickly, I'm wondering if it is safe to use the binary version? Has anyone faced library breakages on this? Chromium is easily recompiled with new libraries and you don't have a broken browser, which won't really be the case with the binary version. -- Nilesh Govindrajan http://nileshgr.com

[gentoo-user] {OT} Chromium resubmits forms without prompt
On both my laptop and my wife's laptop, Chromium is reposting form data if I click back to a form page or if the browser restores a tab which is a form page. Actually refreshing a form page prompts me as it should. This is pretty dangerous and has caused me quite a few problems. I've scoured Google but I can't find anything helpful.

Do I correctly understood https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Portage_TMPDIR_on_tmpfs that I can safely set in the fstab the size of my tmpfs to 12GB so that the chromium could be emerged in tmpfs (using the swap) without the need to set notmpfs.conf for chromium and the likes. And I am going to set the whole /var/tmp/ on tpmfs instead of just /var/tmp/portage Is it ok?
