I wanted to try Thorium out of curiosity and built this: <details</summary</detailsBut I decided I wasn't going to use it, so I'll leave this here in case it's helpful to anyone. It seems to work just fine, but I haven't tested it very much.
What is with this?
that is not it, we need thorium in nixos, i suppose this is browser of choice for many users specially, it is not filled with unnecessary bullshitery like brave and has chome store support and widevine cdm (unlike ungoogled chromium)
Would definitely also like to give the thorium browser a whirl, as there is currently no easy way to use Google Chrome Sync for ARM based Linux.
PR
any update on this PR? popular browser. seems to have stalled
I have been using definition for a few months without any issue but since he has archived it and the version is out of date here is the same but
Thorium was removed again due to the mentioned comment. Unless things change upstream, we won't consider packaging Thorium in nixpkgs.
