I have no idea what plans there are for updating the port, since I'm not the port maintainer for Chromium. On the other hand, 5.x is still smother and nicer than Firefox in many, many ways. The real limitations for Chromium are the restrictions that apply to extension development. If those restrictions don't really affect you, if for instance you don't care about vi-like keybindings and don't use KB SSL Enforcer on Chromium or HTTPS Everywhere on Firefox (so you don't care about the fact that Chromium's extension system limits KB SSL Enforcer's functionality so that it leaks data that should have been encrypted), then you could start using Chromium on FreeBSD now. Just install it from ports. I'm not *too* worried about getting the most up-to-date version of my browser, as long as the version I'm using doesn't have security vulnerabilities addressed in later versions, unless there is a specific feature I need. In this case, there *are* some specific features I want, features for extension development that should fix some of the flakiness of Vimium. Your mileage may vary, of course. I'm basically going back to using Firefox, after figuring out how to get Vimium installed (but not operating properly), I think. 5.x just doesn't support what I need, and I don't have the time and specific skills needed to submit updates to the port myself. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --tqI+Z3u+9OQ7kwn0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkzTqm0ACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKWsyACgk7ECkhVHaR11M8SN1TUq1fWw Kw8AoNgZldnZImcHbC5/spl3eEa4HJTw =YA3f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --tqI+Z3u+9OQ7kwn0--
