Porting Tor Browser (based on Firefox) is probably one of the best moves that could be done given how privacy-orientated it is above any other browser. It's a requisite for having proper anonymous web browisng on Genode. Although it's not a security matter, Chromium doesn't exactly have a good history when it comes to keeping the code base free. On a development level, it just seems to be code meant to be turned in to Chrome, not an intentional browser by itself like Firefox. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ genode-main mailing list genode-main@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/genode-main
