Browser Wars - FF - Chrome - Midori
#8
Here is how I managed to install Chromium 52. YMMV.  I can give no support beyond what is here, because I don't know enough to do it.

First, I downloaded the deb package for Chromium 52 for arm64 here.

Next, I ran the following commands from my home directory:

  1. sudo apt-get update
  2. sudo apt-get upgrade
  3. sudo apt-get install gdebi
  4. cd /home/debian/Downloads
  5. sudo gdebi chromium_52.0.2743.116~deb8u1.1_arm64.deb
Then I clicked on the Applications menu and went to Internet, and right clicked on the Chromium icon, and choose "Add this launcher to panel"

That creates a Chromium icon up at the top of the screen next to the menu.  Finally, I right click on that, choose Properties and change the command to:

/usr/bin/chromium %U --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox --disk-cache-size=200

If I keep the --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox in the command, I get an error at the top of the browser when I start Chromium, "You are using an unsupported command-line flag: --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox.  Stability and security will suffer."  But if remove it, it won't actually access the web, so I have to leave it in there.

All this for usable YouTube videos...
