I've used the binary version (google-chrome) for a while and never |
| 11 |
had any breakages. I guess if there's a library update that could |
| 12 |
potentially break google-chrome the gentoo devs would add a blocker so |
| 13 |
you wont be able to install the 2 at the same time. |

I have since migrated to chromium (on account of getting a more |
| 16 |
powerful processor). The chromium compile took a hell of a long time on |
| 17 |
my old dual core. Even on my fx8150 it still takes about an hour. |
