Chromium?

[janeku]

google drive has about 3 selections to be made to download. select the file, then next select download, then select download anyway.  using synaptic package manager install gdebi with gui. then using gdebi install chromium. this package does load but has issues somewhere, i would guess it is a memory thing because using a 2GB pine64 it is very laggy/overloaded and although i appreciate the fellows efforts to build it, this chromium build is essentially unusable, of course your mileage may vary. i was curious if it was able to be used as a daily browser so i went thru the steps so i expect others may also be curious  and if you do install it and figure out what is wrong please post the cure.

That's completely the opposite of my experience. It's fine for daily use (heck, it's what I'm writing this reply on) for me, and I'm only using a 1 GB pine64.

Obviously you don't open a ton of tabs at once, and certain websites (mainly the ones that have tons of ads) you need to stay away from. But that's not a huge restriction.

zRam compression might help too; it certainly did in my case. You might even want to consider creating a swap device on a USB stick or something at least to allow you to completely avoid memory starvation.

to barawn/janeku,
i was running the build from  the google drive download by baryluk, chromium_50.0.2661.75-2_arm64.deb. my comments were specifically about that build. your experience is based on using a different build than the one i was commenting about. i invite you to download the google drive builds and test that and see what your experience is.

I may say like I did before:
Downloading suggested file and trying to install results in error. It says dependency is not satsifiable : libdbus-1-3 (>=1.9.14)

This is output error when trying to install suggested deb file
