per second.

has anybody experienced the same behavior?
I haven't used the Chromium browser in months, since a bunch of
vulnerabilities arose and the port maintainer's business model evidently
makes it impossible for him to update the port to fix vulnerabilities
that are less than a year old.

I answered this with a To: ports@ + BCC: questions@, to avoid a
double post thread, split the topic, leaving hdd access on
questions, seconding the issue of Non Maintenance of chromium to ports@.
BCC alarmed the anti spam freebsd robot, though I'm subscribed
to questions@, the post to questions@ got referred to moderators,
who did not pass it, here it is.
I suggest for follow up:

The hdd access thread could continue on questions@ so I left that BCC'd
but issue of MAINTAINER of www/chromium best on ports@ list.

ports/www/chromium MAINTAINER rene@ (cc'd) leaves it broken (see
mail below), it still won't even compile (I just checked again a
week later). A CVS roll back would at least get it compiling again,
rene@ has ignored request to roll back. If rene@ resigns,
MAINTAINER would revert to po...@freebsd.org so others could fix
FreeBSD's current ports/www/chromium
