9 Actually, I can't say that I'm too much of a fan of chromium either.
10 I'm more than happy using vimb, sometimes also midori and firefox.
11 Chromium mostly only sits here as a last resort when some site doesn't
12 seem to work right in one of the other browsers (which, fortunatly,
13 only happens with a frequency that is rapidly approaching "never"). So
14 the fact that I don't care about chromium too much, with the added
15 fact that my main machine is a lower-range laptop and takes quite a
16 while to build chromium, is also the reason why I can't be bothered
17 right now to re-build in order to try out various things or otherwise
18 try to collect debugging information. That's why I thought I'd ask if
19 I'm the only one seeing this. It's entirely possible that I'll
20 eventually decide to just unmerge chromium completely, as I haven't
21 really had a *real* reason to use it in quite a long time. ;-)
