Hi, great to see this produced something usable (although not yet shipable).

Last time I gave inox/chromium a try I've found https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=28287 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1270322 So either fedora really forked it (been too long since I've looked at this) or they figured out a way to improve their package. You might want to get in touch with the maintainers for chromium at fedora. > Now that the cat is out of the box, feel free to send patches somewhere > and I'll incorporate them in the branch :-) -- ♥Ⓐ ng0 -- https://www.inventati.org/patternsinthechaos/
