For those systems it might be worth trying the binary google-chrome
instead. Much smaller download and;
$ genlop -t google-chrome | tail -n3

But only if you don't care about the differences between Chrome and
Chromium. They are close, but not (unless I'm terribly mistaken)
exactly the same. The latter is completely FOSS, but the former
contains some Google specific additions. While I do have both
installed, I don't particularly trust Google enough to use Chrome
unless nothing else works. It's pretty rare I need to use it.
