netflix not working
answer: not supported by chromium due to proprietary plugins
chromium api, bookmarks, extensions, settings etc. not syncing
answer: get google api keys and load them
instructions https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys
((someone break this down and make it dummy proof. too many emails about this and that not working where the user has to enable the API manually on google console ))
folder location of chromium
answer: folder is ~/.config/chromium where as google chrome is ~/.config/google-chrome
binaries in /opt/chromium.org/chromium-beta/chrome
unknown on windows. ((someone add filepaths for windows please))
latest browser version + updates
answer:
Updates are not automatic.
Binaries are updated when major chrome features are released.
Please compile the branch yourself if you need frequent updates
Main reasons this is not done frequenlty are:
- build instructions change
- it takes time to compile + release
- this process is not automated
windows binarires are compiled weekly according to Jonathan. Mirror is last known/tested working version though.
macosx support?
answer:
None at the moment.
Compile it, send the binaries, I will add a link.
