1 There are two packages of chrome on repository, one is the binary
2 version officially made available by Google and another is the open
3 source version chromium.

5 Since Gentoo updates libraries very quickly, I'm wondering if it is
6 safe to use the binary version? Has anyone faced library breakages on
7 this?

9 Chromium is easily recompiled with new libraries and you don't have a
10 broken browser, which won't really be the case with the binary
11 version.
