Chromium

Chromium is the open source version of Google's Chrome web browser. It features a minimal user interface, powerful web development tools, and a built in task manager. The Chromium Project is at the forefront of implementing new web standards.

Because Chromium is open source it is legally unable to include several features that the proprietary Google Chrome browser includes by default. Namely automatic updates and the integration of Adobe's Flash Player.

Linguas
There are many linguas available for Chromium. So many, in fact, that the Wiki cannot display all of them. For a full list of linguas run:

Emerge
After setting USE flags as desired, emerge Chromium with the following command:

Chrome URLs
Much like Firefox, Chromium has many internal Chrome URLs (special pages) that are used for additional configuration, troubleshooting, task management, etc. An exhaustive list of special pages can be accessed by navigating to:

Prominent special pages include:


 * - Displays the About page which includes version information.
 * - A page to manage extensions.
 * - Displays special information about the Adobe Flash Player (if it is accessible by Chromium).
 * - Displays web history. Also accessible through the sandwich menu or by pressing +.
 * - Measure the memory usage of the browser and per-tab usage.
 * - Displays more version information than the  page.

Adobe Flash is not working?
Because Adobe Flash has a proprietary license, Chromium is not able to include flash as part of the source code package; One must install Adobe Flash Player manually. The package www-plugins/chrome-binary-plugins has the proprietary binary blobs that also include Adobe Flash. Installing should get Adobe Flash Player working with Chromium. Just emerge it, and accept the license, and you are set.
