Currently the only alternative is Epiphany but it's close to unusable (it crashes every 5 minutes, and sometimes freezes my computer). So the question is: can we push the Chromium package? I've read it's almost ready[2]. It's probably far better than everything we have, despite not being totally 'finished'. Maybe we can add what's left to do as a TODO and fix the package later? What do you think? Cl=C3=A9ment [1]: https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2018/01/11/announcing-esr60-po= licy-engine/ [2]: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D28004#233
