Shouldn't it be drawn in as dependency by Chromium, or at least done so by some USE flag? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

As for everything else... well, I have been finding lots of uses for firefox lately... There is a patch out there to re-enable npapi but it's no panacea, believe me. Anyone know of a good chromium fork with less borg-ware and anti-features in it? I'm starting to get fed up. -gmt
