Well, I choose to temporarily mask chromium if I don't have the time. |
| 7 |
I have a /etc/portage/package.mask/11temp for (mainly) that (-: |

I've switched yesterday from firefox to firefox-bin after some |
| 10 |
mysterious crashes in the graphic backend (with HW acceleration force |
| 11 |
enabled), only to find my compiler is not at fault... But the binary |
| 12 |
version indeed fixed another bug, that's the "page loading" spinner |
| 13 |
not animating, so I'd stick with that. |

I don't have to use google-chrome because chromium is usually *still* |
| 16 |
masked when I feel like upgrading, so it actually doesn't cost me much |
| 17 |
time. In fact, I usually go to sleep right after starting emerge (-: |

As a Chinese, living with Unicode support is a must. But since CJK |
| 24 |
codepoints are well supported for ages, and most of Chinese users are |
| 25 |
not researchers who need access to the latest glyphs or complex-layout |
| 26 |
writing systems, we don't have to upgrade icu that often either. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Actually, AFAICT all my icu upgrades are forced on me by the version |
| 29 |
bump of big things like chromium or libreoffice. |
