Hi Stephen, That's a good point, however upstream Chromium currently requires version 69 of icu which only exists in Debian Experimental (via icu70). Stable and Unstable both have icu67 available. I'm not sure what the solution would be. I suppose patching chromium to work with icu67, trying to get icu69/70 into unstable (and backporting this to stable/dropping chromium from stable) or even moving chromium to non-free would be among the options. Best wishes, Jeff
