Chromium now usable with a patch
#1
Progress is ongoing.  Chromium is this >< close to working.  You can either wait for the devels to finish it up the right way or do this one weird trick today.  (Edge channel only?)

Create /etc/chromium/local.conf and put one line in it:

Code:
unset GDK_BACKEND
Handy for sites that Firefox barfs on.

Update 21-02-22:  Chromium package updated and has new breakage.  The above will still launch Chromium from a command line but the launcher icon is now broken.  Edit /usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop and modify the Exec line to remove the --use-gl=desktop switch.

Update 21-02-27: Instead of removing the --use-gl switch entirely you can enable egl instead of desktop full opengl mode with --use-gl=egl.  You will get a lot of diagnostic output reporting gl issues but it does seems to run, youtube plays video, etc.
