Reasons: - based off ancient Chromium 87 and barely usable as a browser - upstream struggling to keep up with security patches - already starting to bundle more and more as it fails to build w/ modern deps - probably no chance of python3_12 support - let's try to minimise the need for dual qtwebengine:{5,6} installs fast No talking.
(In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #0) > - probably no chance of python3_12 support If really had to, probably a remote chance with what I had (formerly) done in [1] which turned out to be unnecessary thanks to chromium fixing it. Albeit, I agree that getting rid of it earlier than later once reasonable seem like the right path forward. [1] https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/34721
