However they do claim to backport security patches on their front page so it should technically be secure.
I suppose it would take a lot of repetetive effort going through the same process to pull apart chromium each major release, so perhaps they settle on backporting patches in between larger breaks.
- The-Compiler 8y agoYeah, I recall them saying they need something like two man-months for each Chromium release to adapt (the changed lines in the imported Chromium source is usually somewhere around a couple of million...).
- tomxor 8y ago> the changed lines in the imported Chromium source is usually somewhere around a couple of million. Yeah that sounds truly horrifying, I guess they must employ some degree of automation though.
