There was talk on IRC about > inox, so I submitted my progress so far. Tell me about it! I've been secretly maintaining a Chromium branch over at https://github.com/mbakke/guix/commits/chromium . It's frequently rebased. One thing that worries me about Inox is that version 53 is very old and likely contains known vulnerabilities. Do you know if they backport fixes? If not, I think we should try to stick with upstream Chromium. Also, Chromium 54+ have abandoned the "gyp" build system completely in favor of the "gn" build system. With it, many build flags don't work properly yet. See the FIXMEs in the HEAD of the above branch :-) Anyway, great work so far, hopefully we can join efforts and get this in somehow. I'm not happy with the current build, the 3rd party stuff should be removed in a source snippet, and some sites tend to just "hang" infrequently, likely from one of the patches (IPv6 probe?).
